Bassing Through The Ice

Ice fishing for largemouth bass may sound unusual, but when winter locks lakes in ice, the action is just getting started.

With a few drilled holes, simple gear, and a lively minnow or jigging spoon, anglers can experience hard, aggressive strikes even when the temperatures are well below freezing.Jan 14th, 20260

Kids Fishing – Sowing the Next Crop

I have, since the birth of my daughter, Kaya, who is now the age of four, taken on a whole new view of a topic which used to trigger my gag reflex. Jun 1st, 2014

A message from our publisher:

I’m pumped! My younger brother is coming up this weekend and we are going fishing for Walleye and Perch off of Lakewood. I hope to have some great photos and a catch report for you next month, but the best part of this is that I’m going with my brother. As you age, you don’t get to do things with your family members as often as you would like, and I’d bet it’s been 15 years or more since I fished with my little, big brother! If you haven’t been out for a while, call one of our writers and let them put you on to some of the best fishing of the decade!Jun 1st, 2014
