A JERK AT BOTH ENDS Make no mistake; fishing involves a lot of jerks. Often you'll find them at both ends of the line!
THE BIG THREE OF CANADA
Canada is famous for a lot of things. Hockey, premium whiskey and beers that are served at room temperature quickly come to mind!
COMBAT WALLEYE JIGGING TACTICS
Like it or not, weather conditions play a contributing role in the success or failure of popular walleye fishing methods. It seems that for many of the most popular techniques, a little wind is a good thing.
GETTING THE MOST FROM SONAR
The endless list of fishing sonar models got you confused? You're not alone. The electronics industry moves fast.
KILLER CRANKS
The only sound was the low gurgling of a small kicker motor. The surface of the lake was calm except for four 'V' shaped wakes cut into the water's surface by the forward progress of two sets of in-line planer boards.
LAKE ERIE'S MANY BASINS
Riddle: When is a lake not a lake? Answer: When the lake is three lakes in one. Lake Erie is the smallest of the Great Lakes, but this sprawling walleye factory is anything but modest.
REFINING THE CRAWLER HARNESS
An astute individual once said, "if it isn't broken don't fix it". It could be argued that the ordinary nightcrawler harness is a nearly perfect fish catching machine.
RIVER RUN SMALLMOUTH
Largemouth and smallmouth bass share some of the same likes and dislikes. It's common to find both species thriving in the same body of water.
TAKING A HARD LOOK AT JIG DESIGN
Fishing jigs are simple by design. Little more than a hook with some lead molded around the shank, jigs perform an important function with little or no fanfare.
TAKING STOCK OF STOCKING
Fishermen are tough to satisfy. No matter how many fish a particular body of water produces, those who enjoy catching them are seemingly always wanting more.
TOP BAITS FOR HOT-WEATHER PIKE
Sleek, powerful, menacing and as long as a man's arm. Few sport fish can match these attributes.
YELLOW PERCH, BEYOND THE BASICS
Few things in fishing are as basic as yellow perch. For the most part this seemingly always cooperative species can be caught in almost any lake with little more than some mainstream bottom fishing rigs and a bucket full of minnows.
