NEW...Finesse Fishing Finicky Fish need Coaxing
Keith Nelson
Most often once we hit summer our waters have warmed up considerably from what we know as cold water . Fishing during cold water or water under 60 degrees usually requires smaller baits to be productive. The fish have metabolisms that are moving at a snails pace.

Weekly Fishing Tip
Hard Water Coming
Seasons are changing quickly and many have done or are putting their summer fishing items away and getting ready for winter. Don't be unprepared when that hard water season finally comes and start getting your gear ready now. Reels should be lubed and new line put on; rods need to have their eyelets inspected for imperfections. Augers need to have their blades sharpened and also motors ran and tuned up. Batteries all need to be charged and ready so that first trip to the ice will be a fun and productive one.
Weekly Hunting Tip
Last hurrah for the Turkey Season
With spring in full swing and the Turkey season wrapping up in the next day, take advantage of this before it is gone. Many of the hen's are sitting on their nests and the Tom's are still searching for those few turkey's that haven't been bred. Last weekend the Tom's that were gobbling, they were hot and heavy and looking for action. Right now if you can find some birds, they are looking and ready to respond and come to your calls. While everyone else has given up for this season, take advantage of this last Hurrah and success may come to you.
