Don’t Go Bananas!
Warning! Bananas are hazardous to your fishing success. I am not here to condemn this delicious fruit. As a matter of fact, I enjoy eating the little fellows. But I will not eat one within 6 hours of going fishing.
The Wildflower Hatch
Well, this year even we southerners have had a spell of winter that’s kept us inside near the fire tying flies for the expectant spring we’re so desperately looking for. But let’s look forward and not back; it’s too painful.
The Myth of Best Fishing Times
For many years, I was in the ranks of most other anglers that thought that the best time to fish was in the early morning or early evening. The bass experts (and there are many) told us that bass only feed twice a day, during those advertised times.
An Adventure to Remember
I have been fishing ever since I can remember. One of my first memories is of me bluegill fishing with my father at a local pond. We crushed the fish that day and since then it has been hard to pry a rod from my hand.
Ice Out Trophy Walleye Tactics
Soon the ice will be melting and open water will be just a boat ramp away. On Lake Erie, this means pre-spawn walleye will be roaming the flats.
Western Australia Enacts Controversial Shark Cull
As stupid and ridiculous as it may sound, this is indeed true, and I wanted to voice my scientific opinion on the matter this month.

How Fishermen May Use Drones Some Day
In the last year or so, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), more commonly known as drones, have been in the news. Such aircraft, which do not have a human pilot on board, are controlled by onboard computers or by distant pilots on the ground.
Young Anglers Reel in Sailfish Dreams at Second Annual Keys Kids Tournament
On February 8th, fifty-seven young anglers set sail on 21 boats in the waters of Islamorada for the Second Annual Keys Kids Sailfish Tournament. This free, one-day event featured youth in two divisions: small-fry (ages 0-10) and junior (ages 11-16).Upstate New York Bass on the Fly!
For an angler, being outside and fishing in a short sleeve shirt with no one around should be enough to call any day a success. This day was about to get better. As we cast into a river with increasing water temps and a majority of the steelhead already back in Lake Ontario, our expectations of a tight line were low. Soon enough, as we launched large flies into the water, the addicting tight line grabs began. These fierce strikes were not steelhead, but hungry smallmouth bass. We enjoyed a full day on the river swinging 4-plus-inch flies and catching more than 25 smallmouth bass apiece.Under The Sea – Slings and Polearms
