We were fishing together, yet we were fishing in two different boats. Neither of us wanted to fish from the back of another angler's boat — both of us wanted to fish from the bow. Our solution has always been to take two boats. Someone asked me one time why we took two boats. My answer was — because we can!
Newcomers to the freshwater angling world usually find spinning gear easier to use than baitcasters. Learning to operate and cast with a spinning rod and reel is relatively painless and free from the frustration caused by backlashes. Subsequently, spinning reels are what most anglers use as they begin to learn how to fish.
The other day I was re-organizing some gear, getting ready for another busy guide season that will be here quicker than I sometimes realize. I picked up one of my St.Croix spinning rod/Shimano spinning reel combos and was reminded what a splendid setup this has proven to be.
In this gear review I want to share one of the best year-round lures in my angling arsenal, the Northland Fishing Tackle Buck-Shot Rattle Spoon. Retailing for between $4.50 to $5.50 and available in 1/16-, 1/8-, 1/4-, 3/8-, 1/2- and 3/4-ounce sizes, this lure catches a multitude of species. Classified a jigging spoon, the Buck-Shot shines in straight-down scenarios for a variety of reasons.
This is an exceptionally strong loop when tied correctly. But be sure to use the right number of turns and tighten your knot very carefully.
The time for some of the most amazing bass fishing is just around the corner. Those that are in-the-know with current trends know what I am talking about. IT IS ALABAMA RIG TIME!!!

Hair Jigs in Fall's Cold Water and Four Must Have Bucktail TipsGiven the huge range of soft bodies available to adorn leadhead jigs, it's of little surprise that bucktail jigs, once standard fare, see little use by the majority of today's anglers. The cost of overlooking hair jigs — dismissing the splendor of au naturel — is one paid in fewer bites from gamefish such as bass and walleyes. |
