...Ice Fishing Tips Mapping your catch February and March offer productive ice fishing days. Because of fluctuating conditions, check the ice for safety. Large, shallower bodies of water are favorable for sunfish, northern pike, and yellow perch. Northern pike, walleye, and lake trout dwell in deepwater lakes.

...Pike Fishing Gear While fishing tackle can be an umbrella term for virtually any piece of equipment necessary to catch a fish, pike fishing tackle generally refers to the lures, spoons, spinners and hook configuration necessary to produce a strong presentation to a Northern pike.

...Spring Crappie Fishing "Got one!" My fishing partner softly set the hook and pulled in the day's first fish, a ten inch crappie. A beautiful, warm spring day prompted an evening of crappie fishing on our favorite lake. It was just what we needed to spur recovery from the off-season inactivity here in Minnesota. The scene above is repeated over and over again every spring on Central Minnesota's lakes. Crappies are a fine, sporting fish that often provide fast action in the spring when the season is closed on the high profile species - walleyes and bass. Instead of longing for the opener, get out and chase the crappies! Spring crappie fishing starts in dark bottom bays and protected canals where the water is warmest shortly after ice out. If crappie fishing is not an annual event for you, ask the local bait shop where the crappies are biting. They can usually get you started in a good location.

...My furry navigators snoring loudly, I was thankful I didn't need help finding my way to the reservoir. I drove the windy scenic road that heads through Straight Canyon to the reservoir. There were vehicles at nearly every pullout for Cottonwood Creek, either bouldering or fishing, so I decided to forego fishing the creek this time and head right to the campground. As it was last year, the campground was empty, only a small portion of it is open during the spring with no water available. After driving the short loop, I decided to pick site 7, the same site we had set up on the previous year's trip. A cute little ground squirrel was checking us out from the fire pit as I was getting the dog tie outs, camp chair and dog beds laid out. I...

...two hobbies that I feel I find most enjoyable would have to be hunting and fishing. Both activities have been a part of my life for a long time. Each hobby is unique in its own way. However, they do share a few similarities. I began participating in both of the activities at a very young age. Fishing was ahead of hunting by a few years.

During that time he had been a devoted fisherman along with my father. Just before I was born, he sold that cabin to his neighbors on the lake. My grandfather was getting up there in age and when I was 6 years old my dad thought we should take grandpa fishing out on his...
