Wisconsin Fishermen Spear Massive Sturgeons | OutdoorHub: "Fishermen aiming for sturgeon on Wisconsin’s Lake Winnebago are not only seeing success, they are having trouble keeping count who has the bigger fish. On Sunday Fond du Lac resident Don Feldner managed to land a whopping 148-pound sturgeon. The very next day, Brian King speared a 155-pound sturgeon from the icy waters. King told reporters it was the aid of a ragged, but “lucky” shirt that helped him land the biggest sturgeon so far this season."

Off Shore Tackle Talks Trolling Systems | OutdoorHub: "The phrase, “like father, like son,” aptly describes Bruce and Nick DeShano, the men behind Off Shore Tackle.

Riege: Late ice fishing is the best | Austin Daily Herald: "As winter ice fishing progresses some tactics have to be changed.

Burning the Banks | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Any one who knows me will tell you that I'm crazy about jerkbaits. I will throw them until my arm gives out. I truly believe that I have wasted many years of bass fishing by not throwing these baits, especially in clear water. It's amazing how far a bass will travel to smash a wild moving jerkbait. Give me a big flat with lots of submerged grass and I am happy."

The Fishing Website

The Fishing Website: "don’t spend a lot of time fishing from wharves, my preference being to get out on the open coast and fish the surf beaches and rocks where the fish are thicker, away from the crowds.
However, every year I travel to Northland on an LBG trip and spend some time on the wharves up there. These trips are full of big days on the rocks and long walks, so a day on the wharf – which often makes a great fishing platform – offers a chance to rest the body before another big day."

Bass Fishing Tip: Go Slow for Spring Largemouth | Field & Stream

Bass Fishing Tip: Go Slow for Spring Largemouth | Field & Stream: "In early spring, bass move onto reservoir flats to warm up prior to spawning. They’re sluggish in cold water, so they’ll often ignore a fast-moving crankbait or a bulky spinnerbait. But a jig that is swimming like a slow-moving baitfish is an offer they often can’t refuse. A weedless, 1⁄8- to 3⁄8-ounce jig in black, brown, or green pumpkin works best with this horizontal presentation. Tip the hook with a matching pork or plastic chunk trailer to add a realistic fluttering action. Fish the combo on a 7-foot, medium-heavy spinning or baitcasting outfit with 8- to 12-pound fluorocarbon."
