Destination, Rainy Lake Walleyes
It is during the late winter period when the snow starts to melt and the ice is going out that my thoughts drift to summer and open water fishing.
Targeting Early Panfish in Clear Water
I will never forget my first experience with early season panfish on a lake that had super clear water. It changed the way I approached early season angling forever.
Accepting the Snow Goose Challenge
Of all the waterfowl hunting I do, there is little question that nothing is as challenging to hunt as snow geese.
Winter Angling May Require Persistent Searching
Hard water fish that aren’t located where you expected them to be can create some location issues. Sometimes, you just need to find an alternate location where the fish are biting.
Following the Panfish Bite
I am one of a growing number of outdoor enthusiasts that enjoy ice fishing. For me, ice fishing is all about chasing panfish.
Sometimes I Like to Keep It Simple
I have been on the ice enough days over many years to know what I have to do to find and catch fish.
Food and Cover Are Keys to Pheasant Success
Over the years, I have learned an important fact about pheasant hunting. One does not have to shoot a limit of birds to have a memorable and successful hunt.
Small Ponds Big Results
Personally, I find small pond hunting to be quite entertaining. By utilizing kayaks and canoes as our means of transportation, we can get into some pretty tight places.
Three Scenarios for Early Season Geese
When it comes to early season goose hunting, there are a number of different scenarios that have yielded impressive numbers of birds for us. These hunting scenarios include water holes, alfalfa and small grain.
When hunting water holes, it is very important to note that I am talking about small daytime loafing ponds and not roost areas...
Green Weeds and Summer Crappies
Once the spring spawn is complete and the crappies start transitioning to deeper water, many anglers tend to give up on this species.
