How to Catch Late Ice Bluegills, Crappies and Perch by Josh Hagemeister
 |
 Panfish During Late Ice - The rule for panfish this winter, at least for me and my clients, has been to fish shallower than "normal". Meaning those deep holes ( 30-40 ft) that usually produce nice quantities of nice panfish did not produce on most of my "go to" lakes. However, the shallow bite (5-15ft) never really died off like it tends to towards mid winter...keep reading |

 BWCA Guided Canoe and Fishing Trip - Next morning we all went fishing and even a blind pig finds an acorn once in awhile or so I’m told, but the walleyes really bit. It got too easy so we quit.

Late Ice Panfishing In Minnesota - Red Eared Luck by Karl Seckinger
|
 March Perch and Sunfish in Minnesota - Red eared sunfish seem like a good omen to me when I’m fishing. I like the bright color and the flash of red slashed across their face. Red ears school and so do crappies but red ears schools don’t swim off. You hit one; you’re into it until you’re done. They may be small, but they smack bait. I like that....keep reading |

Now, on the eve of our adventure, my friend Dave and I entertained all the questions a 10 year old could muster up regarding the sport of spearing...keep reading |
