                                                                                        BASS FROM THE BANK  

As spring got started, Mike and Dana returned to a spot they had fished recently, because they suspected the bite may be a little better in the early morning hours, as opposed to the late start they had gotten to there previously. Arriving at dawn to test their theory, it turned out to be right!  It had warmed up a bit, and while it was a cloudy morning, the action kicked in right away! They enjoyed some good fights with some fairly large bass, and then they caught even more bass! While the bass appear to be moving up, they still have not located a run of perch, crappie, or bluegill and shellcracker to put on their stringer. So they plan to return to this location very soon to try their luck when the water warms up a bit more. But spring is just getting started, so you know they will be out there until they do. In fact, in the videos below, their the spring fishing continues with a surprise catch they weren't expecting!

                                                        CRAPPIE WEREN'T BITING, BUT DRUM WERE  

The quest for pan-fish took our fishing duo to a cove they had found while out driving to a different spot to do some fishing. Crappie love woody debris in the water, and this cove had stumps and stick-ups that looked like it had possibilities. Still having a good supply of bait from the last trip, they figured they'd give it a shot when a storm ran them off another spot they were trying. While they didn't find the crappie in this cove, at least yet, they did manage to land a few bluegill. Then a freshwater drum. Then something big broke the line! So they found themselves right back there the following evening with more appropriate tackle for large game, and enjoyed some great fishing for drum! While the jury is out about these fish, a cousin of the saltwater red drum, being any good to eat, they did keep a small one to try. So we will update you on that in a future video. For now, enjoy their trip with them, and we're fairly sure they will be back at this cove with another bucket of minnows very soon. Stay tuned!

                             

                                       EARLY SPRING BANKFISHING FOR PANFISH   

To get a good idea how a spot fishes in any given season, you have to try it at different times of day, and different times of the year. These seasonal patterns can greatly affect what you catch, and when you'll catch it. Since these spots are entirely new, our pair of anglers headed out to try again for spring crappie. This time, they altered the time of day, starting in the evening on the bass spot, then moving to the cove at dawn the next day. They enjoyed some action the first evening for bass, but had even better fishing in the spot they have now dubbed Drum Cove. They even managed to land a stringer of pan-fish for the table! But the crappie have still remained elusive, so you know they'll be back on the bank in no time, trying to find these delicious game fish as spring comes on strong this year! 

                                                                             THE SEARCH FOR CRAPPIE    

With things greening up nicely, azelea's blooming, and the weather warming up, the search for crappie gets underway full force in this video. Catching crappie in shallow water from the bank is a time sensitive proposition. They only move up to spawn briefly in the spring, and if you miss it, you miss it. While fishing is a great way to spend time outside, spring turkey season is incoming too, and that will be eating into fishing time. So with the pressure on, it was time to get a bucket of minnows and spend some time lakeside! This effort paid off, with a few crappie finally putting in an appearance! But is it just the start of the spawn, or have Mike and Dana missed it catching just the fish that were late dispersing to deeper water? Only time will tell. You know they'll be out there fishing, trying to get the answer!

  
                                                                  

                                                                                   HERPING THE YUCATAN  

Michael recently took a trip across the southern border. The main focus of this adventure was to dive with Whale Sharks off the Yucatan Peninsula as they migrated through. He did have high hopes of providing us with some video of that, but as it turned out, the ability to film on that dive was extremely limited. But all was not lost. He had a bit of down time, and managed to get some herping time in with Desiree running camera for him! While they do find some interesting reptiles and amphibians, they also get a look at some of the other wildlife and insects that call that area home.This included a rather large Tarantula, and you can hear her in the background. Evidently, spiders are not her favorite thing!

                                                                                      A HERPING TRIP TO INDIA  

We have been waiting for a new adventure from Chris for some time. He has traveled extensively to enjoy his passion for wildlife, and has taken us on herping trips to some exotic locations in the past, that included finding endangered species on the Galapagos Islands, and Guatemala. He's also been a big part of our project, and when we get the chance to head to his home state for a visit, he's often taken the crew  to explore  Florida's Amazing Reptiles and Amphibians. But the thorn in his side has been the King Cobra. He's been trying to find an example of this snake in the wild for some time. So he headed to India to give it a shot. This time, he was successful. He managed to encounter one. But it was not quite as he expected! This trip also produced some other really cool finds, the Indian Chameleon, as well as the Green Keelsnake were some of them, as well as vipers native to this country! That's not all you'll see in the video below, as he included footage of some other wildlife, like elephants, and an interesting scorpion that glows under a black light! Join him below for this one, we can't wait to see what's next!

           SPRING TURKEY HUNTING           

Wild turkey are fascinating birds! When the spring season rolls around, and their gobbles start echoing through the woodlands, there is no place Mike would rather be at sunrise than dressed in full camo in a secluded woodlot with a turkey call and a shotgun trying to call in a wily old Tom! The video below is of a hunt that took place a few years ago on public land in Maryland, as he took his second bird of the season! Click below and join him on an amazing hunt, we're sure more is coming soon!

                FISHING TENNESSEE               

At the end of last spring, Mike and Dana had just gotten started exploring some of the local fishing in the area. We're sure, if the videos they've already created are a clue, that as this spring gets going, we'll be posting quite a few more fishing trips from this pair! There is bountiful opportunity to fish nearby, and road-trips to other locations around their new home state are probably in the works. For now, click below and join them as they catch a few nice ones right from the bank of a nearby lake!

   JOURNEY TO A RATTLESNAKE DEN   

Tag along on this trip to a rattlesnake den! The venomous timber rattlesnake is endangered through much of it's range due to persecution. While these snakes can pose a danger if they bite, they are not really aggressive, and tend to coil, rattle, and retreat if approached.  While these creatures are sensitive to disturbance, we hope that there may be a follow up video to this site in the near future. These fascinating snakes give live birth to their young, that would make a cool video!

                                                                                    TROUT ON THE RIVER                

Some of the first fish to bite in the spring are trout. They thrive in cold water, and states often have robust stocking programs that enhance the fisheries. It offers an opportunity to break that cabin fever and get out for "opening day", when the ponds, lakes, and rivers open up after they've been stocked. We have been amazed at the quality of trout fishing in Tennessee! Click below for an opening weekend fishing adventure that results in a very nice brown trout being landed at the river!
