Musky, they’re the so-called "fish of 10,000 casts". A native of North America, these fish are highly sought after game fish. They are known for being a primarily northern species, located in such places as Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Canada. But the fact is they can be found in several other states, some which include Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, and even as far south as Tennessee. Musky fishing is growing and most anglers are now dedicated to the practice of catch & release to protect these precious fish. I feel this is very important as well and will go a long way for the future of musky fishing. So I ask anyone that is reading this article to keep CPR (Catch, Photo, and Release) in mind if they decide to go out and target these fish. In this article I will be discussing many of the basics for someone starting out interested in chasing these awesome fish.

It is no secret that crappie love structure. Why else would anglers spend so much time making and adding structure to bodies of water for their “honey holes”? Adding structure to a lake is a proven way to increase your catch limits, but there are countless other natural structures that will do the same. Drop offs, creek channels and stumps are just a few of the hidden features that will hold crappie. To find these features you have to rely on your sonar, but there is another and possibly better way.

Many of the older jon boats we buy today are not equipped with livewells, and in order to fish tournaments, we're required to keep fish alive by means other than a stringer. A cooler or Rubbermaid container can accomodate the requirements with added aeration - this livewell mod takes it a step farther...

Catching Bass...some very good presentations |

Here are some presentations and tactics using a bait I call a zoomie developed by a fishing buddy and my wife as well as myself. We have caught a lot of bass using the following methods. I start with a package of Zoom Speed Worms in Watermelon/Red. I cut off the tails at the narrowest part of the worm. I rig the worm weightless, texposed on a 2/0 bent shaft worm hook. I first tie the hook to the line and then texpose the hook. When texposed properly, the worm will hang very straight on the hook. This lure immediately looks very much like a Senko type bait, but it has no internal salt or sand to weight it down....it has a very natural slow fall on its way to the bottom. This gives the bass a good chance to see it on the way down and not being in a hurry makes it look like easy prey.
