Blue ribbon Bass Waters by joey monteleone | Oct 23, 2017 | Big Rig, Fishing, Fishing Subjects, Freshwater, Lure reviews, RiggingOften based off a picture, story or a social media post the question arises, “Where did you catch that fish?” Good magicians and fisherman rarely reveal the secrets behind their tricks (or in this case spots).

It can be done regular or switch but regular is easier. A freewheele is when you come off a waterfall and as you come off you plant a stroke that turns you so you land backwards. I am going...
Kayaks and Crappie, Why They Go Together by joey monteleone | Oct 20, 2017 | Big Rig, Fishing, Freshwater, Internationalisation, United StatesThe scene, a large expanse of water, the kayak angler hoists a bruiser bass, on the salty side, a bull redfish is the object of attention, musky, tarpon, and many other species get the attention until somebody want to have a fish fry.
