fishing rod into the water. No one was looking which was bad and good at the same time. It all started when I felt a fish bit at the ramp to get to the lake. I thought it was a turtle so I freaked out. Well it wasn’t. I was having the time of my life and this…

Finesse Fishing Finesse fishing is pretty much nothing more than "Down Sizing" a particular type of bait or lure. When it comes to winter fishing, or times throughout the year that are considered to be in-active, most anglers will find more success at catching bass by "Down Sizing" or "Finesse" fishing. Finesse fishing patterns are usually fished at a much slower rate as far as "pattern" or "technique" goes due mostly to the inactive bass during these periods. The biggest factor an angler…

With the last big three-day holiday coming up this weekend, the campers, swimmers, boaters, and anglers will have their last big fling at area lakes and streams.

The Moccasin Creek Hatchery will be stocking the following waters this week: Stanislaus River system - Middle, Clarks, South, and North forks; Lyons Canal; Powerhouse stream; and Pinecrest Lake, where shore anglers will be dunking salmon eggs, Powerbait, or…

Fishing is an easy going process, but as you get older some things are required. Did you know you can go fishing without clothes. When someone turns 16 they have to get a fishing license, because the law wants to take your fun away. Going fishing is fun when you start catching them. I normally take what I catch and eat them. You have two different reels. You have an open face reel and a closed reel. They both cast different. An open face reel has you throwing the line out into the water…

The Unequipped Fisherman Fishing on my families 14 foot aluminum boat at Lake Ponemah, I encountered an evasive pike who evaded capture because I failed to prepare the necessary fishing equipment. I was about 8 years old at the time, but I remember every detail; from the exact time my brother father and I entered the boat, to the tree on our lucky island. I recall pulling up near the superstitious island, and dropping anchor while I gathered my preferred equipment. During my first cast, I…

The provision of the great catch is one that will be embedded within my memory for as long as I live. It is a lesson that reminds me of what God was doing in my life early in my walk with him. In this lesson, the disciples had been fishing all day and night and it was now morning. Exhaustion frustration, and hunger had set in. The lack of a catch equaled the lack of harvest and the lack of selling in the market place. Which in-turn would cause insufficient funds! Does this sound like any of…

Last summer, I experienced a once-in-a-lifetime-oppourtunity. I have been fishing a lot but have never experienced anything quite like this. It involved thousands of catfish, a rowboat, my brother, a neighbor, and a half-empty lake. Our neighbors were draining their lake. They had broke the dam and drained out most of the water. There was a lot of muck after it had been drained and at the deepest spot of the lake it was only about four foot. My brother Justin helps out my neighbor and works for…

The Fish of One Thousand Casts Ever since I was little I had dreamed of catching a Muskie. I had caught several species of fish, anywhere from a little bluegill in a nearby pond, to a red snapper while deep sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. But at the start of 2017 I set a personal goal to catch a Muskie from my kayak. I did extensive research on this odd fish, just to try and figure out why it was so difficult to catch one. I would sometimes fish for many days and nights in the nearby lakes…
