Lake Pike
Lake Pike: "Well on a trek out to BassPro shops one day I came across the PERFECT solution. It is a flat box made by Falcon that has a special divider with 15 slots that hold the spinnerbaits by their own tension. This box is slightly smaller than the regular plastic containers, but is the same depth.
So it fits right in the front pocket of my tackle bag. It is about 2-3 times more expensive than a normal plastic lure container, but well worth it'"

Jig Fishing
Jig Fishing: "- Milfoil And Lures: 'Always use a heavy action lure that floats when fishing for big fish in lakes
with heavy milfoil. the milfoil grows from the bottom of shallow water.
Fish also do not like the taste of it. lures that submerge will almost always catch milfoil in heavy areas.
but predator fish swim through it to hide from prey and make it easier to stalk'"

Strike Lures
Strike Lures: "Trolling deep-diving crankbaits across rocky points may be one of the most-effective techniques anglers can use to catch big smallmouths. Bump the bait across the bottom, and crash it into underwater rocks to gain the attention and often the strike of a big smallmouth. Alternatively, try these proven techniques. Cast out light line and ultralight baits to catch big smallmouth in deep water. Fish a 4-inch worm and a 1/4-ounce jig on light spinning tackle along sheer rock bluffs. If you fish parallel to the bluffs and let your lure fall straight down beside the rocks, you’ll offer the smallmouth a meal it can’t resist. Fish a live-bait rig called a Roach Rig or a jig tipped with live bait for smallmouths"

Tackle Bait
Tackle Bait: "Some of the most-productive areas for summertime spotted bass include rocky points, sheer rock bluffs, underwater railroad beds and current pulled through the dam. In all cases, remember that spotted bass are driven to feed by power-generating lakes. Fish main river points with small jigs, grubs and tiny plastic worms as soon as the current begins to run on the lake. Rocky points out on the main river will draw spotted bass like a magnet when the current first starts running when you fish these points with Carolina-rigged 4-inch plastic worms'"

Rods St Croix
Rods St Croix: "Smallmouth and jerkbaits are synonymous terms with anglers. The smallmouth is undeniably the most aggressive of the bass and its predator instinct is easily triggered by the jerking action of this “reaction bait.” Using a weighted jerkbait increases coverage of the strike zone, expanding the opportunities for using this lure throughout the year.
More than most lures, weighted jerkbaits demand the right 'cadence' (retrieve timing) to draw strikes. This is because they're being used to tempt sluggish bass in cold water. Here are some retrieves to try: Sinking Retrieve (extremely cold water): Make a long cast to the target zone.As soon as the lure hits the water, jerk the rod tip sharply so the bait dives"

Make short casts, and rip the bait up off the bottom"

Tying your own flies can be very satisfying, especially when you are lucky (or skillful) enough to catch fish with them. Patience is a definate requirement of any fly tyer (which should not be a problem if you are an angler!) as is a deftness of hand and nimble fingers.
To tie fishing flies you are going to need a few basic instruments.
First and foremost is the fly tying vice. Without a vice you will find it nigh on impossible to make a presentable fly. At this point it is a good time to decide if you want to bells and whistles model or something basic that gets the job done. The former will have a few features lacking on the basic type such as a multi angle tilting head, perhaps it may also include a steel plate (allowing it sit freestanding rather than having to be clamped to a table), or maybe it includes an extra arm to hold the spool of thread or tying silk."

Fly Fishing
Fly Fishing: "Fly Fishing 101:Starting The Fly
When you start a fly always cover the hook stem completely making sure to double up on the back of the stem near the curve. When finishing, always make sure give yourself enough room to tie it off using a finishing knot. This is especially true for the novice fly tyers, you will want to add dubbing, feathers and hair to the whole stem but you need to make sure you don't cover the eye of the hook.
Your finishing knot should be a simple over under knot, similar to a clove hitch or a doubled overhand knot. Instead of buying a finishing knot tool that they sell in fly fishing product stores, take a large feather (I have found turkey to be the best), and cut off the last three inches of its base. Where the feather would have connected with the birds flesh there should be a small hole.

Creek Fishing: "Small spinning lures and jigs can work well, depending on the conditions. Small spinning lures are by far the best lure for catching trout (well, besides flies, but we'll get to that in a bit). These in-line spinning lures work best when the trout aren't hungry or are lazy, in this way you can agitate a fish into biting the lure when they aren't attacking natural baits. Jigs tend to work best with a slow presentation, and in the colder months."

Outboard Evenrude
Outboard Evenrude: "There are quite a lot of little tasks to do when you are going to service your outboard evenrude engine.
If you use this checklist you should cover just about everything:
1. Change the gear oil - and while you are doing this see if any water has got through the seals.
2. Replace the spark plugs - some people just clean the old ones, but buy new.
3. Strip down and clean the fuel filter.
4. Strip down the water pump - clean any corrosion.
5. Check the flywheel nut and nuts around the cylinder head.
6. Check the recoil starter - lubricate it - also the pull rope for any wear.
7. Check the gear and throttle cables for any damage - lubricate all linkages."

Fly Tying Fishing
Fly Tying Fishing: "About Buying fly tying fishing Flies Online Part 3/3
Variety
No matter what you want to purchase, nothing beats the internet for window shopping. I have seen the same fly pattern tied three different ways on three different sites. This variety allows you to find the best pattern that matches your intended fishing location. For example, if you plan to fish faster moving water, your parachute patterns might need a bit more hackle, or even a brighter post. On the other hand, if you plan to fish tailwaters, your mayfly patterns might need to sit lower on the water. By the same token, if you intend to fish mostly in the spring, your mayfly patterns might need to be a lighter color than if you intend to fish in the fall.
By browsing different sites for the same patterns, you will be able to compare patterns and ascertain the right fly for you. The best way to do this is to open two or three browser windows at a time on your computer. Then go to different sites in each browser and compare the patterns you are interested in."

Abu-Garcia Revo S series has 8 ball bearings with 1 roller bearing solid case with a carbon matrix drag system, 3 words for this one, bad to the bone for around 100.00, I have had mine for a few years and all I have had to do is clean & change the line. I also have enjoyed my spinning crappie rods & reels, a couple of my favorites that will cast a small jig a country mile is my Shimano Symetre with a rear fighting drag and virtually no line twist, you can adjust fighting drag as you go without breaking your line for any size crappie you bring up, then add a falcon low-rider rod to it and you can feel the slightest bump. This is a winning setup for the crappie angler for around 200.00 dollars and it will last forever."
