Pocket : Asian Carp Fishery Dispatches First Shipment in Million-pound Order

Pocket : Asian Carp Fishery Dispatches First Shipment in Million-pound Order: "Two Rivers Fishery in Wickliffe, Kentucky is looking forward to sending out its first 40,000-pound shipment of processed Asian carp to customers in China. The company opened its $2.5 million facility in late May of this year and is already thinking of hiring more fishermen. According to WKMS, Two Rivers Fishery owner Angie Yu says the plant is currently processing around 6,000 pounds of fish a day, but is capable of much more. With a million-pound order from customers in China, plant manager Jeff Smith agrees that the facility will have to step up production."

Pocket : Drifting Flies for Michigan Perch

Pocket : Drifting Flies for Michigan Perch: "If you want to catch Michigan perch and lots of them, try drifting for them with a rig featuring two flies baited with minnows.

“I think flies give a little more action to trigger fish, and if the fishing is really good, you don’t even need minnows,” says Adam Pyle, who runs Pyle’s Porthole in South Haven and harvests his share of the tasty panfish whenever time allows him to get out of his tackle shop. South Haven is well known as a great port for targeting Lake Michigan perch. This week, anglers were harvesting 35-fish limits in about 40 feet of water, and Pyle said rigs featuring flies were part of the winning combination."

Pocket : Drop Shot Fishing for Summertime Smallmouth

Pocket : Drop Shot Fishing for Summertime Smallmouth: "Drop shot fishing for smallmouth bass in the summer months can be very successful on Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie.

Tournament bass fishing probably drives general fishing trends more than any one source. Winning a bass tournament on a particular lure often causes sales of that product to skyrocket, making lucky manufacturers overnight millionaires. And quite frequently, techniques that dominate the tournament scene often overshadow those that dominate local fisheries. Such is the case on Michigan’s portion of the Great Lakes."
