Alex and I had our first river spin fishing experience at this beautiful stretch of the River Hodder near Chaigley). Alex hooked a lovely (and big) rainbow trout but lost it because I was faffing about trying to get a picture whilst he was landing it! Later Alex landed a brown trout, which was released as it was only around 10cm in length. We both enjoyed a fantastic couple of hours "in" and beside the river.
In the fall and winter redfish move well into south Mississippi's coastal rivers. This fine specimen fell for a freelined live shrimp in the Tchoutacabouffa River.

Otter Creek
Although the water was very low everywhere and reports were dismal, I hadn't river-fished in a long time, and needed to wet a line. We found this stretch of Otter Creek near Danby, Vermont that looked nice, which has some good pockets and seams where fish hang out. Within a half hour, both my bother-in-law and I had both hooked up and landed a fish each. For the next three days, this was all that we would see.

Crappie fishing in South Mississippi's coastal rivers isn't known for catching big numbers, but then again it only takes 2 or 3 fish per angler for a great meal. Plus, the rivers are simply gorgeous!
This photo was recently published in The Sun Herald's "South Mississippi Outdoor Sunday" page (Sunday-February 1, 2009), along with a story about croaker fishing I submitted. Croakers are excellent eating! When an afternoon speckled trout trip went bust, we broke out the light tackle bottom rigs, and proceeded to quickly put 40 nice croakers in the box. Photo by Capt.

Allways a much welcomed bonus catch in our coastal rivers. The stocking brood fish and needed facilities were destroyed in Hurricane Katrina, but I've talked to fisheries biologist Jim Franks, and the good news is that the stocking program will probably be started up again. And for anglers in south Mississippi that's great news! Pound for pound...stripers are the hardest fighting fish in our coastal waters!
