By Spence Petros With an increasing number of anglers learning how to find the best spots in a body of water, the little things you do while fishing can mean a lot. Technique is becoming increasingly important. The first two bass fighting ventures of the year produced 31 bass, 29 of which I caught. The…

Sifting The Slop
Sifting The Slop by Spence Petros For many years I sort of had the “anti-slop” belief when it came to musky fishing. As the editor of Fishing Facts magazine for 22 years and being in the middle of the structure fishing revolution, I avidly taught and practiced the principles of structure fishing. Mostly I fished…
Dancin’ for More Crappies
When north woods guide, Greg Bohn, fishes for crappies in the springtime, all he needs is a boat equipped with a Humminbird sonar/temperature gauge and a Thill slip bobber. “Water temperature is the key. It’s the driving force of where crappies are going to be that day,” said Bohn. “They don’t care about food� nothing…
Spring Time Walleyes
Perhaps the most eagerly sought after of all game fish, at least during the early open-water months of spring, is the walleye. While the Wisconsin state-wide opener is not until early May, a few bodies such as the Wisconsin River system where I guide remain open year round. To my clients and me, the walleye…
Fishing with Jigs
Fishing is a sport unlike any other for a variety of reasons. Perhaps one of the most alluring factors that sets fishing apart is the never-ending challenge resulting from continual changing and varied seasons, weather changes, water types and conditions, and of course the vast variety of species available to pursue. While each season presents…
Getting Kids Started: It’s about Them and Their Fishing
By Jason Mitchell A frank discussion on what it takes to get more kids into the sport. To Jason Mitchell, introducing kids to fishing and hooking them on the sport ideally takes place on the same day. It’s a specialty that takes a commitment from an adult that goes beyond “letting ‘em come along.” Mitchell…
The Perch-Bluegill Connection
Dave Genz revolutionized ice fishing by seeing what the sport could be, rather than what it always had been. By noticing what others miss, he continues to help us catch nice fish. One of Genz’s more recent connect-the-dots theories has to do with jumbo perch and big bluegills. In essence, it’s find one and find…
Zooplankton Triggers Everything!
When it comes to fish position and activity levels, zooplankton-tiniest of underwater animals-move mountains with their daily up and down migrations. More on the details as we go, but if you’ve ever wondered why the fishing can be so good early and late in the day, Dave Genz says it’s all because of zooplankton. For…
Details Rule the Day for Walleyes
During daylight hours, ice fishing is a very different pursuit than it is during the prime times of dawn and dusk. To generalize, rather than moving in active pursuit of food, most daytime fish are sitting “fat, dumb and happy” in the words of Dave Genz. This means that, in order to make consistent catches…
Dealing with the “hatch”
I want to talk about the “Mayfly hatch,” and how to successfully fish for Walleyes during this time. It can be more difficult to catch numbers of walleyes and to make consistent catches during this time, but not impossible. There are hatches so thick that every fish in the lake gets their fill, and many…
