Smithwick Devils Horse
The invention of the propeller changed the world.  Whether it was attached to a boat or an airplane, it is associated with high RPM's – (Revolutions Per Minute) – and designed for increasing the speed at which something moves.
   So when Smithwick designed and manufactured the Devil’s Horse back in the 1950’s, equipped with not one but two props, it is understandable why anglers still make the connection between props and speed.  Novice anglers often tie on the bait for the first time and assume it should be raced across the surface, or “ripped” sporadically back to the boat. "

Pocket : Electrofishing: The Truth of Shocking

Pocket : Electrofishing: The Truth of Shocking: "My dad liked to tease us kids and I remember one particular day when he got me good. I was fourteen years old, and I'd enjoyed being home alone for a few hours. At the supper table that night, dad looked at me with that look and asked, "Anyone come here today, while you were here by yourself?" I looked up over my fork, and said, "No sir." He said, "Are you positive?" "Absolutely positive," I said. There had been no one at our house, period. "Wanna bet your allowance on it?"

Pocket : Take the Socks. Save the Back.: "Dateline Aug 22, 2013 - The brightest thing at the boat ramp today during a rain threatened pre-dawn launch was a pair of blaze orange socks Gerald Swindle gifted to Fletcher Shryock. Actually, they were only a shade brighter than the fluorescent lime colored socks Swindle had on his own feet."

Pocket : Hot Weather Spooning

Pocket : Hot Weather Spooning: "Spoons come in all shapes and sizes. From the teaspoon-shaped Johnson spoon with one big single hook, to a long, slender slab of lead made for deep water jigging the selection is fairly good.
Fishing spoons in the heat of summer can be some of the most exciting fishing you will ever do. Over thick hydrilla or lily pads, a Johnson spoon is one of the most effective lures you can ever use to draw bass out from under the thick vegetation. I have had some of the most viscous strikes of my life when fishing spoons over matted grass."

Pocket : Mulberry Flies for Michigan Carp

Pocket : Mulberry Flies for Michigan Carp: "I’d been standing in one place for at least 10 minutes, about 35 yards downstream from a mulberry tree, watching the carp mill around the overhanging branches on the Huron River outside Ann Arbor, Michigan. I noticed a fish come out from the bank and settle in slightly deeper water, so I shot a roll cast upstream from it a bit and when I saw the fish come up in the water column toward my slowly sinking purple fly, I set the hook."
