Ice-out Jigging for Lake Erie Walleyes

Can you believe it? March is just around the corner, and in about a month  the hearty Lake Erie fishermen among us will be venturing out for a little walleye action. Their bait of choice: a large, colorful hairy jig tipped with a fat emerald shiner.

  The spring jigging season on the big lake is getting enormously popular. Just five years ago only a daring few could be spotted on the just-thawed water. Nowdays, it seems that everyone wants to give it a try. And why not? It’s easy fishing. Just tie on a jig, add a minnow and drop it to the bottom and give it a little twitch every now and then. A limit of winter-sluggish walleye generally is only about an hour away on most days.

  Really, the only tough part of this fishing trip is the wind-chill. So it is imperative not to underestimate it. When I urge fishermen to dress warmly, that’s exactly what I mean. Dress as though you are going ice fishing with insulated boots, bibs and a goose down , windproof outer layer. You can always take a layer off if the sun shines. Nothing will spoil a trip of this type quicker than a bone-deep chill. And even if you don’t like coffee, take it anyway.

 Ice-out walleye fishing on Lake Erie has gained a lot of attention in the last few years. So much so that anglers from all over the upper-Midwest are flocking to the Port Clinton area starting in late March and early April. Especially visible are anglers from Minnesota, south Dakota , Iowa and Wisconsin.

  Their lakes at home are still ice covered but here in Northern Ohio, spring arrives weeks earlier. For them, it’s a nice jumpstart on the fishing season and most are just a day’s drive away even while pulling a boat.

    All of the Lake Erie jigging action takes place in the shallow Western Basin from Port Clinton to Toledo and up and around into Michigan waters. Even if you only have a small boat don’t despair because the jigging usually takes place in water depths of 8-15 feet. We’re talking less than a mile from shore. But some of the action takes place around the reefs.

  Because we have a lot of unsettled weather this time of year, the actual number of fishing days available is always the big question. Obviously, the best days come with a light, southerly wind  and plenty of sunshine,. Clean water is a definite plus but it doesn’t always happen as windy conditions keep the water stirred up and off-color.

  There really are no techniques to learn for this type of fishing. Many fishermen will either drift through the fish or they will anchor once they find a productive spot. I suppose if there is

one recommendation to make it’s this: keep plenty of jigs handy. These areas are rocky and can eat up a dozen lures quickly.

 Also, keep the lure and minnow moving, but jig slowly. The water temperatures will still be hovering around 38-42 degrees and the walleyes will be sluggish from the long winter under ice. The best areas are from the Davis-Besse power plant to the Maumee River at Toledo. There are many launching areas along Rt. 2 and small marinas where you can tie up the boat for a few days.

   The bait shops have been pretty good about offering fishing reports. My advice is to check some of them out and get phone numbers to call before making the trip either on a charter or your own boat. Here are a few:

 Bill's Lake Erie Bait, Curtice, OH 419-836-7117 ; Butch and Denny’s,   Curtice, OH, 419- 836-7351 ; Edgewater Bait & Tackle, Toledo, OH 419-727-8380 . Go here for a complete listing of shops and launch ramp facilities: http://www.thenaturalresource.com

Largemouth bass fishing when mentioned among a group of dedicated anglers can engender levels of excitement that only those who regularly cast a line can appreciate. Largemouth bass love a contest and of course, so do anglers!

Understanding some basic principles of largemouth bass fishing will increase your chances of having a satisfying outing and a good catch to earn bragging rights the next time you catch up with your fishing buddies.

Tips And Techniques

- Bait is crucial in fishing. That's an understatement. Whether to use artificial or live bait is a question often asked. Most often, you need to use a "suck it and see" approach. The fish will often let you know what they prefer simply by how often they are biting.

- Plastic worms in a variety of colors according to many fisherman are usually a preferred option. By having a range of colors, you can mix them up and if you are getting good results with one then stick with it. Alternatively, if one color isn't working then swith to another.

- If you are using live bait then make sure the bait is kept fresh and not allowed to go off. Purchasing worms in large quantity could produce unsuitable odors so it might pay to split them up into air tight containers.

- As with most things in life, having a plan before execution gives you the best chance of success. The same applies to largemouth bass. In fact, always have a back up plan to fall back on. Look for areas where the level of noise activity is low. This is why getting to your fishing destination at "the crack of dawn" is always preferred.

- Areas where the fish can congregate such as around rocks and weed are good options. Even try around jetty structures or other areas of cover. Largemouth bass are expert at ambushing their intended prey. Remember, if you don't get results the first time, be prepared to move to a different spot. Largemouth bass are expert at ambushing their intended prey.

- Try and ascertain signs of life around your fishing area. Birds are a good indication of fish being present. If there is baitfish around and the birds are feeding then it's a good bet that the largemouth bass won't be far away.

- Largemouth bass are comfortable in deep or shallow water but they usually like staying out of a current flow. Your gear should include equipment for both levels of water. Always have selection of surface and deep water lures. Water currents are a factor as well. If there is a current present, then look at fishing the covered areas.

- Finally, don't become predictable. Be prepared to try different things. Move as often as you have to. If the fish aren't biting on plastic or live bait, then try a reaction lure. If you are fishing an area with murky water color try a clearer area. If you are in deep water and exhausted all bait options, then try more shallow depths.

Largemouth bass fishing can test a novice angler's ability and patience but the key is not to become stuck in a routine. If it's not working, change it.

Florida Bass fishing..what lures are best for this?

Time of year. we are now post spawn i think and the bite has gone away. I know this B/C i just bought the smart caster (RF25) by Humminbird so i now know where the fish are. I highly recomend bying this item for the shore angler there is nothing better and so much fun.
Is there a magazine out there that covers Florida? i do get bassmaster but it seems that it covers the rest of the upper states and as much as i like it i would like to find a magazine that covers only florida/texas as we dont see much of a change in the weather.
also is there a teaching video for children somewhere? my nieces and nephews are 6-12 and i have given them the fishing bug but thier dad is no old man in the sea so i would like to show them VIA an instructional video how to fish for the big BASS..

Thank in advance for all answers and suggestions
I am a carpenter by trade so if you have any questions feel free to ask and i will do my best to help you to return the favor.

those floridas are pushovers for a big plastic worm. 6 to 10 inches.
rig them texas style so you can work them through the grass more easily.
you tube has lots of fishing videos and some are quite good. you might find this a good link:

this one is just a sample. there are lots of them.

and of course, you may find some silly ones too.

Know Before You Go

First, do your research. What you want to catch dictates were you want to go and fish. Once you decide where you want to go, find out what charter boats are in the area. Read magazines, get on line and put some time in to find out all you can about your options. When you have a couple of possibilities, call them up, drop them an email, ask them questions, not just “how much is it?” but “what is the best time to come? What fish are in season? What type of tackle do you have on board and in what classes? Can the weather stop you going out? Do you fish under IGFA Rules? Is the skipper an IGFA Certified Captain? What about beginners? Can you put me in touch with a couple of previous clients? What types of fishing can you offer?

Try to find out if they are a serious charter boat with good equipment, a good crew and they know what they are doing!

If you can, talk to the skipper before you go out. Tell him/her what you would like to catch, your level of experience and if you would prefer calmer waters or are happy to corkscrew all day if the fish are there.

You are out there to have fun, not sit in a corner looking green and feeling miserable. If you start to feel unwell, tell the crew ! Here in Kadavu, we can always move to calmer waters.

A good charter boat will take your wishes into consideration when deciding how and where to fish.

When You Step Aboard

Listen to the safety briefing. It’s not just done to fulfil Maritime Safety regulations, it will also give you information about that particular boat, where emergency items are stored, where you can sit and where you should not go or sit during cruising for safety reasons.

Be prepared. Talk to the skipper or deckie. Ask questions like “what do I do when a rod goes off? And how do I do it?” We always establish the experience of our guests and we tell you what to do and show you how to do it. The last thing the deckie or the skipper wants is to lose a fish because of simple confusion on the deck.

I once watched 3 anglers begin, and continue with, a lengthy discussion on who should pick up a screaming rod whilst a nice sailfish of about 100lbs tail walked away from the boat. Despite us backing down, the sail took over 700 yards of 30lb mono and spooled the angler just as he finally reached for the rod.

Don’t fiddle with the equipment, even if you are experienced and understand its operation. Lever Drag Gamefishing reels have their drag settings carefully tested and set to a drag setting appropriate to the type of fishing you are doing and the fish you expect to catch. If you accidentally bump a reel setting – tell the crew.

The crew should be more than happy to explain the use of any piece of equipment and why it is set as it is.

On a Game boat, everything has a place. The crew may need to get something quickly so be careful not to move things around. Don’t rummage through tackle drawers or pull out equipment and toss it back in a mess. At best, you will annoy the crew (who will have to sort it all out again and at worst, you may get a hook through your hand.

When the deckie takes a leader or gaff in hand, stay well back. Only the angler and the deckie should be at the back of the boat. It you are there too, you are in the way. If you are marlin fishing, this is positively dangerous. Crowding the deckie not only blocks the skipper’s view, it endangers the life of both you and the deckie. You and he could be pulled overboard if a hand or foot gets tangled in the leader. If the deckie is tracing a big marlin and you get in the way – it’s a tense and potentially dangerous moment. Don’t be offended by the stream of loud four letter words directing you to move back.

You will get your chance to take close up pictures when the fish is tagged and under control.

When a fish comes aboard, stand well back and listen to the deckie’s instructions. They are for his safety as well as yours. Most lures used have 2 or more hooks. One may be in the fish’s mouth, the other may be swinging free – just waiting to catch you.

A colleague of mine got a 10/0 Stainless Steel hook embedded in his calf when a mahi mahi got loose on the deck. Very painful and that was the end of the days fishing.

A good charter boat will do everything it can to ensure you have an action packed, fun filled day of fishing. It is, after all, in their best interests that you go home and tell all your friends how good the fishing was and what fun you had. If you are out there flogging a dead horse (its rare but it does happen)….don’t blame the crew….they will be even more frustrated than you are!

Some Do’s and Don’ts

Do:

* Take a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses. You will get a lot of glare reflected off the sea, even on cloudy days.

* Take a camera.

* Wear non marking soft soled shoes.

* Ask if you are fishing under IGFA Rules – You just might catch a World Record!

* Ask, if you want to come up and see the bridge.

* Eat your catch – you won’t ever eat a fresher tastier fish than one that you just landed.

* Respect the boat. Don’t trash it. Rubbish makes its way to the bilge and can block bilge pumps.

* Enjoy the whole day’s experience, not just the fishing!

Don’t:

* Brag before you go about how many fish you are going to catch. It’s bound to blank your day.

* Step on board wearing high heels or shoes that may damage or mark the deck.

* Play with fishing equipment settings. (Even if you do know what you are doing)

* Put a rod butt down on a teak deck – It will damage the teak. All rods go in rod holders.

* Crowd round the deckie with a camera when he is tracing or gaffing a fish. STAY WELL BACK.

* Bring a hand held GPS. If the skipper sees it, you won’t be going to any of his secret hot spots.

* Access the foredeck or engine room. They are out of bounds unless the skipper specifically tells you otherwise.

* Litter. Never throw any type of rubbish (including cigarette butts) overboard. Turtles eat butts and die.

* March up to the bridge, plonk yourself down in the deckie’s seat and put your feet up on the console. Unless you want a swim.

Crew Talk Jargon Explained:

“Fiddler & Tweaker”: Somebody who can’t resist playing with reel drag settings or ratchets.

“Nibbler”: Somebody who stares at the outrigger tip when you are trolling 16” marlin lures on bent butt 80s and shouts “I think we just got a nibble!”

“Plonker": Somebody who asks if they can bottom fish when you are 7 miles out on the Kadavu Trench in 1,000 fathoms of water. (6,000ft)

(I once had a guy stand up on the transom with the boat cruising at 22kts, wave at one of our resort dive boats following in our wake and decide to dive in. (My deckie Joe managed to grab him before he killed himself) Game boats and large quantities of beer do not mix. If you get drunk aboard one of my vessels, I will consider you a danger to the crew who will have to rescue you when you fall overboard. I will tie you to the game chair and drive home. Just so you know.)

Lures For Bass Fishing?

I need to know what is your guy's best lures for bass is, but I do only just want lure for big fish only. The reason I ask is my older brother always takes me fishing but he always catches like a 6 pounder and I haven't even caught over 3 pounds yet. We both always use senkos and ribbit frogs.
I live in florida

I grew up in the Jacksonville, Florida area and know Florida Bass fishing pretty well.

Here are my top picks for Florida BIG Bass-

1. 10" Berkley Powerbait worm rigged Texas-style, (colors?- Junebug, Black, Red Shad)- A 10" worm is a very common big fish bait. The irony? Little 2-4 lber's will take a 10" worm. In fact, I've caught a couple 14" fish that didn't even have a hook in them! They just crammed the worm so tight in their mouth I was able to boat them without hook-age!

Another BIG fish soft Plastic?- Gambler Flappin Tail Worm- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_90490____SearchResults This is a KILLER lure.

2. Jig- Jigs catch BIG fish, (period). If you REALLY want to "weed out" smaller fish, throw a 1/2 OZ Jig/ Craw trailer. You will catch smaller fish on a Jig occasionally but the majority of your bites will be bigger fish.

3. Cranks- In my opinion, Crankbait's are a big fish lure. Depending on the mood of the fish try throwing 1/2 OZ Rattle Trap type cranks and Suspending/Slash bait's.

Cordell Spot- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_44610____SearchResults

Husky Jerk- Use the "Sweep & Pause" retrieve- HJ10 size- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_2827____SearchResults

You should carefully look at what your Brother is doing "right". If your both using the same lures it may not BE a lure issue. Look at his retrieve rate?, fluro leader?, casting accuracy?, fish attractant?, Etc.

Plus, if he's in the front of the boat you are always gonna be fishing his "used" water. You should take turns at the front of the boat.

The point? Watch him closely.......

Hope this helps ya? Good fishing Brandon.

PS- Thumbs up to Tim.

How To Be Creative With Your Lures

The spoon is one of the best lures the angler can use in fresh- or salt-water fishing. It is compact and heavy enough to cast well especially in the smaller sizes. It can be used when casting or trolling, and attracts all kinds of fish because of its brilliant "flash" and lively, swaying action.
.
To make a fresh-water spoon from scratch you have to obtain brass or copper sheet metal in various thicknesses. The smaller-size spoons which run only from I/2 to 2 1/2 in. in length use thinner-gauge metal than the larger spoons which measure from 3 to 5 in. in length.

This metal must be cut out and filed out to the size desired, then bent and hammered into the proper concave shape. This is a lot of work if done with hand tools, and takes time even with the aid of power tools. Then the holes to take the hooks and line have to be drilled. If the hook is soldered to the spoon that's another operation. Next, you have the spoons plated in nickel, chrome, gold, or silver. Or, if you want to use the brass or copper of the original metal, you must polish or buff it.

Frankly, when one figures the time, energy, and money spent in making fresh-water spoons from the raw material it really doesn't pay - not unless one is willing to go to the expense of having a die made to stamp out the spoons on a punch press. With such a die one can stamp out enough spoons to last a lifetime. Such a die runs into quite a bit of money and unless you need hundreds or thousands of spoons it isn't worth it.

Fortunately, you don't have to go to the trouble of shaping your own fresh-water spoons or spend money for expensive dies. Some of the mailorder houses carry spoons in various sizes, shapes, and weights. They are all complete with shiny gold, silver, brass, copper, chrome, or painted finishes and can be bought cheaply, especially in larger quantities. You can buy a dozen of the spoons and the other parts, such as split rings and hooks, and then assemble the spoons.

Split rings come in various sizes; the smaller ones are used for small spoons while the larger ones are needed for the bigger spoons. They are usually made from spring steel or solid brass. The steel split rings are plated and are suitable for fresh-water spoons, but for salt-water the solid brass rings are much better.

Use a knife blade to spread a split ring apart so that it can be forced into the hole on the spoon. Once you have the split ring started, just keep turning it until it snaps on completely. You can put two split rings on most spoons, one in front for the fishing line and the other in the back, to which a treble hook is attached. The treble hook can be plain or it can be wound with bucktail hair.

Although spoons with metal finishes are the most popular you can paint them in various colors - such as all white, all yellow, or red and white stripes - if you want to do so. Usually only the convex side is painted, the concave side retaining the metal silver or nickel finish. You can also paint or spray the convex side with a natural fish-scale finish. For painting by hand with a brush, enamels are best. For spraying, use the quicker drying lacquers. Clear lacquer or varnish can also be sprayed on a metal finish to keep it from tarnishing.

Many fishermen have great success in using spoons, and you can too. Good fishing!

Go Fishing In Your Network Marketing Business

Successful Network Marketing requires many things but one of the most important of all is to get started.A lot of people put off prospecting and making contact calls because of FEAR.Well fear really means false evidence appearing real so just do it and make those calls .The more you make the easier it becomes to the point where you actually enjoy making new contacts and prospecting calls.One of the best ways to think about prospecting is to linken it to fishing.

You have to have various lures in your tackle box and which particular fish could be caught with each lure. I've learned how important it is to have several "lines in the water" because we simply don't where our prospects will come from or what will pique their interest.There are countless lures you can throw out there, including:

Initiating conversations with people you know, face-to-face

Telephoning people you know

Sending a personal letter to people you know

Running a small, classified ad directing people to your voicemail

Purchasing lists for a direct mailing

Asking friends and family members for referrals

Posting flyers

Conducting an opinion survey

Leaving business cards everywhere

Participating in a lead co-op

Operating a booth at a fair or convention

Sticking audio tapes under windshield wipers

Mailing postcards

Internet promotion

The lures in your Network Marketing tackle box are many and varied. They can cost nothing but your time or expand to sophisticated advertising campaigns that are very expensive. The important point is that you must always have several (at least three) lines in the water!

You are the one casting the lines so it's up to you to determine which lures best fit your talents and financial resources. With some testing, you'll learn which lures pull for you.

Remember, fish are comfortable where they are. They're not going to just jump in your boat. And chances are pretty slim that your upline is going to fill your boat with fish for you. So go ahead post a note on your office door - "GONE FISHIN!"

Great Tips for Illinois Walleye Fishing

When fishing for walleye in Illinois you will find that a number of lakes, rivers and reservoirs are available where you can find this particular species of fish. The Kankakee River is one of the most well-known for catching walleyes. There are several lakes where you can go to fish for walleye in Illinois such as Lake Clinton, Lake Shelbyville and Lake Michigan to name a few. The Carlyle Lake and Kinkaid Lake are also popular choices where many anglers like to try their hand at catching this elusive fish. Walleyes prefer the cold deep waters that these areas have to offer.

Since the opening of the Jake Wolf Hatchery, walleyes have become more abundant than ever in the history of Illinois. There are plenty of walleyes being found in areas where they use to be uncommon. This is great for the anglers that live in this area making it easier for them to go after this exciting and subtle species. It is also great for visitors that love to come to Illinois and fish.

The Fox Chain-O-Lakes is designed by a natural chain of fifteen lakes that are located in the northeast part of Illinois. You will find that the walleye swim in every one of these lakes, although you will have better luck fishing in some of them than with others

You can check with the Department of Natural Resources to get a better idea of where the most walleyes are located in this area.

Although you can find a lot more walleye in the lakes of Illinois today than in the past, you still need to know which techniques work the best if you want to catch your limit of walleyes. Below are some techniques for catching walleyes in Illinois that can help you have a great adventure that you can talk about for many years.

Techniques for Catching Walleyes in Illinois

Now that it is easier than ever to find locations in Illinois that are filled with the walleye, you need to know the best techniques for catching them in this area. It is recommended that you use live bait, crawfish, spoons, small spinner bait, crankbaits and plastic worms to fish for walleye in Illinois. These will help you get the best results for your time and effort.

How you catch walleyes in Illinois will partly depend on the time of year you are fishing. From about May to the middle of summer it's pretty simple. This is the time that the walleyes are feeding and all you really need to do is locate the area where they are spanning. Normally, when there is little light shining on the water you will find the walleye about six feet deep in the water. In bright sunny areas they tend to go deeper and can be found around twelve feet.

The best places to find them will be around inlets and around the breaklines near the banks. They also tend to stay around the shoreline, in grass, around trees or branches, large rocks and any other type of natural formed covering. In the spring you will need to use small jigs, crankbait and plastic worms to get the best results. The same is true for the summer months but you can also get some really good results with lures that resembles crawfish. This time of year the walleye are in search of food and this makes it easier to catch them than normally.
