Virginia Offshore Action

November 19, 2015 by Jim Brewer

Virginia Saltwater Dr. Ken Neill, III   Small rockfish are pretty much everywhere. More fish over 30 inches are being caught.

South River Hotspot

November 19, 2015 by Jim Brewer

The South River in Waynesboro has been a hotspot in spite of the cooling temperatures.

An Unbelievable Deer Hunt

November 19, 2015 by Jim Brewer

By Sherman T. Shifflett     Friends: This is an unbelievable hunting story, and I am not making it up. Around 1970 I started deer hunting, mostly around Louisa County, VA, but I have deer hunted all around Central Virginia.  During those 45 years, I've experienced many enjoyable moments, have seen a lot and could write a book.  But, today (Thursday, November 5, 2015) takes … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving Leftovers

November 19, 2015 by Jim Brewer

My Dad was a child of the Depression. As such, nothing went to waste in our house, especially food and especially at Thanksgiving. My earliest memories of Thanksgiving at our modest two-bedroom home in Beckley, West Virginia were of a huge roasted turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy (Daddy made amazing gravy), succotash, collards, cranberry sauce, home made yeast rolls and pumpkin pie … [Read more...]

Really Thin Crust Pizza

November 19, 2015 by Jim Brewer

For Nancy and I, Sunday is a great night for pizza. But that presents a problem. Both of us are watching our weight and pizza is not a very accommodating dish when it comes to shedding calories. The opposite is true because … [Read more...]

More Nags Head Stripers

November 12, 2015 by Jim Brewer

The stripers in the sound are still biting, says Capt. Reese Stecher of Beach Bum Guide Service, but the powers that be won’t report it. The thinking goes that if more anglers knew about the inshore bite, fewer would take the bluewater trips offshore. Regardless, CvilleBuzz is happy to report the good news and to urge anglers interested in catching a quick limit of stripers to head for the sounds … [Read more...]

Columns To Remember

November 12, 2015 by Jim Brewer

I have been writing outdoor columns for over 30 years. I thought it would be fun to go back in the archives and print a few of the oldies. Below is the first in this series.   Go Easy on the Scent Wafers   It was my annual bow hunt in Bath County, an opportunity to fell a deer with a deadly shot to the heart. Trouble is, for the past couple seasons, my arrows have remained … [Read more...]
