Lake fishing in July in New England is like fishing in March in Florida. Our weather brings hot, steamy days of 80 plus degrees with little wind and some humidity. The waters of our lakes will reach the high 70's to the low 80's and the bass, crappies and pickerel will head to the shade of the Lilly Pads. Editorial StaffJul 1st, 2013
Striped bass are an anadromous species native to the Atlantic coast and Gulf of Mexico but have been introduced to the Pacific and numerous freshwater bodies of water, particularly in the South and Mid-west. Striped bass spend their adult lives in saltwater but move into freshwater systems to spawn. When it was discovered that they could survive and adapt to freshwater bodies many wildlife management agencies began stocking the species in reservoirs for recreational purposes and to control baitfish populations that boomed under these man-made conditions. Few freshwater systems are conducive to successful striper spawns; annual stocking is required to maintain these populations. Editorial StaffJul 1st, 2013
Fishermen tend to trip and stumble in a rut. Their focus appears to lock in on a limited number of species working the same spots outing after outing and relying on the same basic tackle and bait. Call it a comfort zone in which they eventually become proficient. The thought of expanding their horizons in terms of tackle used or additional species sought seldom motivates them to pick up the gauntlet of other challenges.Editorial StaffJul 1st, 2013
When you get to Cabo all you can think about is those monster marlin. It’s 5:30 in the morning. Charles, my son and I are heading to the boat where our crew is waiting for us. The fleet name is SINDICATE SPORTTFISHING. My crew is very professional. The captain is Angel and the first mate is Julio. We picked up ten live bait fish and off we went. We put out the outriggers with two big Griz skirted lures, one red and black and the other bright green and yellow. Then we set the two inside lures. One was blue with a white belly and the other squid color. In the shot gun long line we put a dead bait fish. Now we were ready. It was Charles’ turn. Charles has been wanting a marlin over 500 lbs for a long time, but remember, he is only fifteen. Editorial StaffJul 1st, 2013
Well, summer is in full swing and it’s time to fish. You ask yourself, what is the best way to maximize my time on the water? My tried and true plan is to schedule trips so they start just before sun up or during the last couple of hours before sundown. While it is possible to catch fish, especially those in shallow water, during the middle of the day, I have found it a lot more productive to start or end in the dark. Editorial StaffJul 1st, 2013

Fly anglers are as attracted to their flies as fish are, and in some cases, can be even more attracted to them than the fish. There are a wide variety of flies available for anglers, and selecting from the array can be complicated. There are different colors, sizes, and materials. There are weighted flies and unweighted flies. So, what are the best flies? The simple answer is: it depends.
Without a doubt, Alberta, Canada’s Bow River is a world-class trout fishery. Glacier-fed and flowing more than 350 miles from the Canadian Rockies through the foothills and prairies of Alberta, it is big and scenic by the time it reaches the 50-mile section southeast of Calgary that author Jim McLennan called “the Blue Ribbon Bow.” It is here in this blue ribbon stretch that anglers flock to get in on some of the best brown and rainbow trout fishing in the world.
There’s a retro-movement taking place—a trend toward primitive hunting gear. Slings and polespears are used in places that do not allow trigger mechanisms.
