MONTHLY TIPS
--As Fisherman, we must stick together and share fishing tips with others.
- With water temps starting to move below 80, fish will start to move shallower at times to feed.
-Cast crankbaits over points, humps, rockpiles and submerger weedbeds using a slow/steady and fast/erratic retrieves. A slow stop-and-go retrieve works well and allows you to walk the bait through cover while also adding some strike attracting appeal.
- Bluegills and Crappie too will be along or near those remaining shore weeds and cover .
- - Tom sent us this tip : " It is a Good idea to remove your boat prop occasionally to check for fishing line, I did not and burned up the lower unit on my motor because fishing line had gotten tangled up between the prop and the lower unit oil seal. All the oil leaked out and burned up the bearings." - THANKS TOM, maybe this will help others to prevent this damage.
- Support our local Bait Shops to assure they will be there when we need them for fresh, lively baits and current fishing info as well as latest tackle - Just a Thought..
- - BE SAFE & GOOD FISHING - -

Fish Facts: - 1810 - The Birth of the modern Baitcasting Reel is owed to a group of watchmakers in Kentucky. George Snyder applied his knowledge of fine gears to invent the first modern style casting reel in 1810. It was an instant hit as the existing British style, single-action reels could not truly be casted from the spool. The only problem was he made very few reels. It was in 1832 when another local watchmaker, Jonathan E. Meek refined and improved this design and many thought of him as being the inventor. It was in 1845 that Jonathan teamed up with his brother Ben Meek to begin manufacturing the new reels.
