It was a real disappointment as I had paid a pretty good amount for it. Here are a couple of...

Subsurface strikes can be no less impressive, feeling as though your bait somehow got hooked onto an underwater freight train.

Great Tips For Trout Fishing
More than fifteen years ago I had the pleasure of knowing the greatest trout angler that I've ever seen. He lived in central Pennsylvania and caught trophy trout in heavily fished rivers that the local fishermen didn't think contained trout of that size.

On occasion he would use a small spinner or spoon, but his favorite bait was a definitely a live worm. If he had a trophy trout located could get his hands on them, he liked to use live crayfish for bait. My point is that during the years that he was alive, he taught his son and...

However when your fishing begins to turn into a sport, when the whole experience goes beyond the actual "catching" of your fish (and the first one will always remain embedded in your mind), then you begin to enjoy and appreciate many other things. One of these things is releasing a fish you have just caught. There are many places where the fishing is exclusively catch and release, and at first sight it sounds simple enough. You cast your lure, the fish is hooked, you reel it in, remove the hook and let it go. As if things were that simple...
Fishing Tips Tricks Advice And Techniques

Giant Northern Pike Fishing
Over a year ago a friend of mine told me of a new Muskie lure that I just had to get. The lure was a Squirko from Lungen lures. It looked to me like other jerk baits, but I decided to give it a try. On the first try on a Muskie lake in central Minnesota,I have to admit it didn't see much water time. Later in the season I went on a fly in fishing trip in Manitoba.
