Anglers love to follow cliches. Many of these cliches get taken as truths and get repeated until nobody ever questions what them
If there’s one absolute about how water temperatures affect salmon movement in the Great Lakes, it’s that there is absolutely no magic formula for homing in on the hottest bite.

During that turkey hunting moment of truth, closely watch that fleshy appendage hanging off the beak of a boss tom.
It would be difficult to pin down the single biggest technological improvement in the spring turkey woods today, but decoys would certainly be in the conversation
1. Butterfly meat that is thicker than 1 inch by cutting into two thinner pieces; leave the meat connected at one edge. Open up the butterflied meat so it lies flat. Roll the meat tightly with the grain, tucking in any irregular edges. 2. Tie the rolled meat about an inch from the end that is farthest from you; use…

While fishing, I observe lots of angler behavior, and I can definitely say many people tend to fish plastics too fast – especially for bass – whether it’s a tube rigged wacky or Texas-rigged. We need to slow down and try new techniques for retrieving a lure. Most anglers simply work the lift-drop, lift-drop. There’s nothing wrong with casting out and…
Crankbaits are one of my favorite multi-species lures, but they don’t perform unless you employ them properly. Set your crankbait at the correct depth, or in a tough bite or with less-aggressive fish, fish won’t chase it. Use your electronics to mark the location of fish, then put the crankbait in their zone.
