THROUGH THE ICE

Most level headed people righteously question the sanity of a hardcore ice fisherman, but that’s only because they don’t understand the payoffs involved. I just got off Lake Hopatcong, tired and spent from a day drilling holes in the hardwater. Total tally of a day and half fishing? – 21 jumbo yellow perch to 15 […]

Florida Exotics

Alberto had me running and gunning all night long with various beasties, something I never knew existed opening my eyes to some freshwater fish with some bad ass attitudes.

FOUL WEATHER GEAR

As I write this, its blowing 35 knots northeast in New Jersey, rain spitting nearly sideways, and yet, somehow I was out fishing the local bridges for blackfish today.

Strike King Half Shell is the BEST Drop Shot bait.

Jim Root explains why the Strike King Half Shell designed by KVD and Mark Zona is the BEST Drop Shot bait no matter the conditions. It seems like the world is flooded with soft plastic baits. Every possible color, size and scent imaginable. But I look for baits that will catch bass all year, in […]

Mullins Takes Douglas Lake

Fishing is a mix of art and science. It requires a detailed expertise, honed through pages of journaling and tracking. But there is the other part — the art.
