Night-time is the right time to stalk summertime bass
Big bass, which are fairly sluggish and feed very little during the daylight hours in summer months, are much easier to catch after dark — if fishermen know how to approach night-time fishing. By Davy Hite

Hilton Head cobia could be state record
Rob Maroudas' 92-pound cobia is almost five pounds larger than the existing state record. By Jeff Dennis
Robby Maroudas remembers seeing a huge cobia about 15 years ago near the R8 marker, but he couldn’t get it to bite. On May 26, Maroudas saw another huge cobia, this one on the Betsy Ross reef. The difference? This one was hungry — and that made all the difference in the world.
