Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Fishin’ Tip Friday: It Takes Hard Work on AND OFF the Water

A British Columbia property owner received two massive fines for illegally dredging a creek on their property to try to prevent flooding. The man, George Winkler, had been warned by a Fisheries and Oceans Canada officer in May 2020 to stop excavating the bed of Stephens Creek, according to a June report by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. After a second complaint was filed in November 2021, fisheries officers and biologists visited the area and found 80 salmon eggs had been destroyed, per a news release.

River water levels are constantly influenced by various weather conditions, such as storms, droughts, and seasonal changes. During late summer and fall, rivers often experience lower water levels due to reduced rainfall, creating unique fishing opportunities for anglers. These low-water conditions expose more of the riverbed, making it easier to target smallmouth bass that are typically spread out during higher water levels. Anglers should pay attention to weather patterns and plan their fishing trips accordingly to take advantage of these conditions. Understanding how water levels affect fish behavior and habitat is crucial for successful fishing. Lower water levels can also reveal hidden structures and cover, such as rocks and submerged logs, which can serve as prime locations for bass to hide and ambush prey. Tthese conditions can lead to higher water temperatures, which can influence the feeding patterns and activity levels of smallmouth bass. It’s important for anglers to adjust their techniques and gear to match these changing conditions. For instance, using lighter tackle and more natural presentations can be more effective in clear, low-water environments.The new FreshBaitz Lizards deliver a realistic profile that excels in both power and finesse techniques. Act fact, we just released new Hot Sauce, MidNight, Ghost and 10w30 Syntheic Lizard designs! The unique forward-facing leg design creates drag that holds it in the strike zone longer or produces wild flapping action with every pull of the rod. Additionally, its slightly ribbed solid body and large head hold your hook in place and provide much better weedless performance making it the ideal bait to use in any condition. Water clarity always plays a super big role in color selection but in any season year-round, you can’t miss when using colors such as Watermelon Red, Black & Blue, or Green Pumpkin. Its flexible tail design ensures added movement, tempting even the most cautious fish. The superior 5.5-inch profile stretches to a whole 7 inches which is perfect for predatory fish including bass year round. Made from long-lasting durable high-grade non-salted plastic for total and maximum attention-grabbing action underwater.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

While cruising the Mobile-Tensaw Delta one day, a friend and I came across a strange sight. A solitary gentleman was bass fishing from the deck of a pontoon boat. “See, that’s the way to do it,” my buddy chuckled as we drove by. “You can’t lose. If I see a guy fishing from a pontoon boat and he’s not catching anything, I think, ‘Well, he’s playing with a handicap.’ I don’t judge him the same way I judge a man getting skunked in a decked-out glitter rocket. But if I see him catching fish, it’s ‘Heck yeah! That dude’s killing them–from a pontoon boat!’ That’s the kind of guy you want to have a beer with, you know? He’s living life.”
