High pressure building around the Great Lakes region is sending us another shot of cold air. Many of us complain about the cold air and I will admit it takes some getting used to. A blast of cold air has some serious benefits, too. Fishermen and hunters alike know this will send lots of ducks our way, deer will walk more often and the fish will tighten up in larger schools. Where will all the cold air send the fish?

This is the 10th year of the Brunswick Beacon Tournament of Champions and the entire golf community is excited.
We started in 2004 with 12 clubs participating. Since then, new golf courses have opened, older ones have thrived and now we have 17 clubs with memberships large enough to support an annual women’s championship.
This week we honor our ladies’ club champions for 2013. The men get their turn next week.

The combination of light winds and slack tidal current let the water clear up nicely last week. These conditions allowed us to see schools of reds working along the grass edges weaving through the oyster beds. Sometimes just seeing these schools of redfish is enough and catching them is just icing on the cake.

Wahoo — I wonder who came up with that name? If fishermen named everything by the reaction it gave us, we’d have names like “frustrateds,” “holy cows” and “dagnabbits.” They are appropriate names for when a fish bites the line, your reel goes into a high-speed scream and you achieve an instant adrenaline rush.
