Hurricane Debby didn't just wash up $1 million worth of cocaine into Florida — it's also sending nonnative creatures that move "like an infantry-man scooting under barbed wire," as the state's wildlife commission describes it, right onto residents' doorsteps. Several videos have come out this week of catfish squirming around on land after inches of Debby's rain flooded roads and driveways. Debby, now a tropical storm, just made a second landfall in South Carolina, where it's expected to bring more flooding across the East Coast."Very weird catfish, I guess, on our driveway during a tropical storm," Luis Bardach said in one video...

A tragically hilarious Florida story - in four parts.

Some people think they are built for the life on the water, but in reality, they often aren't. They could have a plethora of cheesy signs throughout their home with various lake-and-ocean-related phrases, and it really doesn't mean anything until it's time to really live life on the water.

That's especially true at the boat ramp.

For the uninitiated, the boat ramp is where the pros and amateurs are separated. It's all fun and games once you get out on the water, but first, you have to tackle the beast that is a subtly...

A good bass fishing pond should have clear water, ample aquatic vegetation, and plenty of brush piles. These features provide necessary cover and suitable habitat for bass, allowing them to thrive. Ponds should have more shallow water than deep water to support bass activities during the summer. In warm weather, bass tend to stay in water that is no deeper than 5 or 6 feet. Ensuring these characteristics will create an environment conducive to both the growth and health of bass populations. Clear water allows sunlight to penetrate, promoting the growth of aquatic plants that provide food and shelter for various organisms. Aquatic vegetation, such as water willows and lily pads, offers bass hiding spots to ambush prey and escape predators. Brush piles add structure to the pond, creating additional habitats for smaller fish and insects that serve as food for bass. Shallow areas warm up more quickly, making them ideal feeding grounds during cooler mornings and evenings. Properly designed ponds with these elements can support a diverse and abundant fish community, enhancing the overall fishing experience with a more productive environment.Our newest FreshBaitz Mandingo Trick Worm is the ultimate game-changer for anglers with a passion!
