Put a Spin on it.

by stephenhrynewycz | Dec 10, 2018 | Coosa FD, Fishing

 Everyone has their favorite go-to lure that they just wouldn’t go without. For me that lure is a straight in-line spinner.  After all the shortest distance between two points is a straight line (You and the Fish), and nothing does that faster than an...

The Madness of Musky

by Tanner Speidel | Dec 5, 2018 | Fishing, Fishing Subjects, Rigging

Some people go fishing just to catch fish and to get outside, some people go fishing purposed to catch monsters. Some people go fishing to enjoy beautiful weather and warm temperatures, some people go regardless of rain and cold. To those who relate with the latter...

“It’s Cold Steel Time Again” Part 1

by Jim Ware | Dec 3, 2018 | Fishing

It’s almost Thanksgiving, a chill is in the air and most of the talk I hear is about deer or duck hunting and college football. I’m a bit outside the circle right now because my mind is focused on the water and more importantly…largemouth bass. My favorite time off...

Ned Rig for the Win

by Jay Randall | Oct 11, 2018 | Fishing, Fishing Subjects, Lure reviews, Rigging

I recently went on a drift with a good friend of mine in search of some nice smallmouth bass down a really good Smallie river in Northern Illinois. The weather was to be in the low 90’s with overcast skies and gusty winds. We have put in at 630AM and no sooner...

Whopper Plopping Rivers

by teamjk | Sep 4, 2018 | Fishing, Fishing Subjects, Lure reviews, Rigging

Whopper Ploppers… I can’t remember there ever being a lure that was more talked about or been on the receiving end of so much hype. I can’t speak about its mystical powers when it comes to largemouth, as I haven’t had enough experience with it in that regard but for...

Short time in Ohio

by Anthony Shingler | Aug 22, 2018 | Fishing, Mayfly

I took a trip Ohio to the Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony for the Us Army/Pro Football Hall of Fame Scholarship program for one of my wrestlers from my team. I was messaging Aaron Stiger, Jackson fishing team director about possibly fishing Lake Erie...

Wind is your Friend…..Sometimes!

by teamjk | Jul 18, 2018 | Coosa FD, Fishing

Summer is here!!! Not only have the daily temperatures been heating up, the fishing has also. As luck would have it, the days I would be free to get on the water were not the calmest days of the last few weeks. With winds ranging from 12 to 15 mph from the southeast,...

The Perfect Day

by joey monteleone | May 6, 2018 | Big Rig, Fishing, Internationalisation, United States

Once you get a dose of fishing fever for some it can become an all-consuming passion. For the casual caster sometimes they are limited by time, financial resources, work restraints or family responsibilities. Often I hear people describe the prefect situation that...

Contour trolling for bass

by Sean White | Jan 5, 2018 | Fishing, Internationalisation, United States

My local reservoir is full of steep rocky banks that hold LOADS of smallies in the spring and fall. I have had excellent luck using normal bass tactics, but nothing has worked as well as trolling. Trolling isn’t used much for bass, and in many tournaments is not...

Airgun Hunting – hunting with airguns. Can it be done?   Can airguns be used for hunting? The answer is yes, but there are some things to think about, and this short article addresses them. Are airguns humane? Yes, and there are two key areas to address....

Kayak Fishing Simplified

by Jake Horne | Nov 2, 2017 | Fishing, Fishing Subjects, Freshwater, Lure reviews, Rigging

This year I really decided to dedicate some time to learning rivers and new bodies of water. In doing so I’ve found that simplicity is the best medicine when it comes to learning new water. The first thing I needed to do was pick a kayak that was versatile. I found...

Blue ribbon Bass Waters

by joey monteleone | Oct 23, 2017 | Big Rig, Fishing, Fishing Subjects, Freshwater, Lure reviews, Rigging

Often 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). A trophy size bass for me is a fish over five pounds. In...
