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

Expanding handgun options available for Federal’s .30 Super Carry cartridge

Features, Gear & Gadgets, Home Page News /

There are more than 22 million concealed carry permit holders in the United States. Compared to the 2.7 million in 1999, it’s clear that new laws allowing citizens to more easily carry weapons for personal protection have created a huge demand for pistols and accessories.

There has been ample debate over what is the perfect carry handgun and caliber, but it comes down to personal preference. The most popular caliber likely is the 9 mm, but the .45 would be a close second, followed by the .380.
A round that has gained in popularity during the past two years is one that Federal designed for the person who prefers a round in the range of a .380 or 9mm. The relatively new release is the .30 Super Carry.

It was last July and I was hiking on Stockton Island (Apostle Islands National Lakeshore) with my wife and Joan, a friend of ours. After criss-crossing through the forest on the well-worn trails, we returned to the boat to take us back to Madeline Island where we began our search for ticks.

It’s going to be an awesome Minnesota opener, just ask Mr. Walleye

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

Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Famer “Mr. Walleye,” Gary Roach, will turn 87 on Aug. 3. When you consider that his mother was probably on the water with a fishing rod in hand while carrying this fishing legend in her womb, he can probably brag that he has participated in every fishing opener in Minnesota for the past 88 years.
During a recent conversation, Roach and I discussed how this year’s early ice-out and a lack of ice-fishing pressure this past winter might affect walleye-angler success on opening day and for the first few weeks after that.

When Jeff Gustafson won the Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee River this past March it was a journey that began 30 years prior to his epic triumph.
“I fished my first bass tournament when I was 10 years old,” said Gustafson, who grew up on Canada’s north end of Lake of the Woods. “My dad took me. He didn’t bass fish, but he knew I liked it. He just wanted to fish for walleyes. He saw that I was interested in bass fishing, and we started fishing some of the tournaments around here.”

According to Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Famer, “Mr. Walleye,” Gary Roach, “Success on the Minnesota fishing opener is often determined by the weather we receive the couple of weeks prior to opening day.”

For consistent early-season walleye success, expect the unexpected

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

When my phone vibrated in my pocket, I had a feeling it was my buddy and that he was going to tell me he’d found walleyes and the bite was on. It was my buddy, yes, but he was singing the blues, having fished all day with only a few small perch and a couple of skinny bass to show for his efforts. I told him I would be there soon, so he should gas up the boat and get some more bait. “We’ll find the walleyes,” I told him.
