Confounded by a cold front? Eight ways to still boat muskies

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, Wisconsin /

More than 40 years ago when I started fishing for muskies I learned very quickly that some days produced better action than others. Soon I realized it was not simply luck, and that weather usually had the greatest influence on muskie activity.
In most cases, it was post-frontal conditions that turned off muskies. Bright skies with few or no clouds, cool air with little humidity, and wind from the north and eastern sides of the compass are sure signs that a cold front has passed. In the hope of catching muskies more consistently, I learned and developed patterns that often produce in such weather.

Featured, Features, Fishing, Michigan, National Fishing /

“What is your favorite type of fishing?”
It’s a question I often hear when I’m on a boat with other anglers or on the street when I meet someone new. It’s no secret that I love to fish, but I don’t get to fish as often as I would like. Work gets in the way, though most times I’m watching other people fish.

From ages 8 to 80, volunteers team up to improve public-land hunting access in northeast Minnesota

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Fishing, National Hunting, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

From June 12 to 14, the Minnesota Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers hosted a campout and stewardship event in northern Minnesota. The group stayed at the South Kawishiwi River campground and on Saturday, June 13, spent the day cleaning up hunter walking trails.
The St. Louis hunter walking trails are on the Laurentian Ranger District of the Superior National Forest. In the fall, the trails are closed to motorized vehicles so that hunters and dogs can use them unmolested.

Don’t get in a twist because of using old fishing line

Featured, Features, Fishing, National Fishing, Ohio /

Improper line spooling and tackle rolling are the two common reasons for anglers to develop aggravating line twist. There are other causes, too. Spinning reels wrap the line by design, adding some degree of twist. If you compound that twist with improper spooling or have tackle rolling, tangles will soon follow.
This is not the complete picture.
