Fishing Report: Kayak Fishing Tampa Bay

May has always been a great month for kayak fishing the Tampa Bay area.   Winds finally subsided, allowing for better access to areas that are tougher to reach with higher gusts.  2010 has been somewhat different from the month of May the past few years.   Baitfish schools were decent early in the month but never [...]

Well Folks, the weather has been a little better lately; but with that said here comes a low pressure heading up the coast!  It’s a little early for this kind of weather.  With all the East/Northeast wind lately the water just off the beach has gotten very clear and has helped the fishing for my [...]

Product Review: The Edje Jighead

There are certain conditions where weedless lures are not just an advantage, they’re critical to having any chance at all to get a gamefish to eat your lure.   For just about every hook or lure company, they have come out with their own version of a weighted, weedless lure.    This is a look at “The [...]

Written by Andy Whitcomb The creek (or perhaps more fittingly, “crick”) that cuts through the middle of this Oklahoma farm is a tributary of Stillwater Creek, which joins the Cimarron River, which feeds Keystone Lake.

As a reader at Pro Anglers Journal: The pursuit of big game fish is your objective.   As the saying goes:  “A tradesman is only as good as their tools”.   The serious anglers are practicing a craft.   To achieve success, as it is with other skilled professions, one needs “the right tool for the right job.”     Without the right tools, desired results [...]

May Fishing Forecast – Northeast Florida
