Here’s a pattern that might work for you. So in the winter time, most fish will relate to the bottom or suspend at a certain depth.  These fish are less active and not hunting.  So it’s tougher to get them to bite.  So why not target only the hungry ones. It’s the heart of winter.  Which can intimidate anglers but its not about how cold or hot it is, it’s about how stable the weather has been for the past few days.  With stable weather, patterns start to emerge.  The temperature hadn't fluctuated…Read more …

You know you’re a part of something great when a group of people, many whom have never met before, come together for a single event.  Traveling over 4 hours in some instances to be with other individuals that share the same beliefs that you do.

I remember as a kid I loved playing battleship.  When playing battleship, you have to sink your opponent’s ships before they sink yours.  All the ships are placed on a labeled grid.  The problem is, you don’t know where their ships are.   So you guess. E5…That’s a miss.  F7…That’s a miss. A10…Hit! Then you’d continue on with the numbers around that area.  Search and destroy.  That’s exactly what I was doing on a recent fishing trip. We started off in an area that seemed to be very productive.  There were baitfish, it had…Read more …
