MONTHLY TIPS
-- As Fisherman, we must stick together and share fishing tips with others.

- How to Fillet Walleyes & Saugers and debone by zipper technique, we have mentioned..
And this one - How to cut out & remove Walleye Cheek Meat you´ve heard us talk about too.

- Do not use tap water in your boat batteries as it contains chlorine, iron or salt that
will harm the battery. Use distilled or de-ionized water and do not put anything else
into it, just keep it full, keep it clean and keep it fully charged..

* Before you launch your boat, be sure to check important things:
such as Install the Drain Plug and Remember to Be Courteous at the ramp
do your preparing the boat before you even get in line on the ramp.
Last thing you should do is Remove the Bow Strap once trailer wheels are at the water.
Here is good video Launching & Retrieve a boat by yourself
Lots of Great Key points: Hands on bottom of steering wheel when backing, put truck in neutral.
* When retrieving, we like to back down to fully wet bunks than pull up to fenders just out of water.
This makes the boat slide better on bunks that are all wet.

** Support our local Bait Shops to assure they will be there when we need them for fresh,
lively baits and current fishing info or advice as well as the latest tackle..!

Do Not Forget - - FISHING IS MEANT TO BE FUN - -

- Fish Facts: Fly Rod - Outdoorsman Hiram Lewis Leonard and founder of the H.L. Leonard Rod Company, became pioneer of
the modern bamboo fly rod around 1869. He did this by making a lighter, better-tapered blank designed to cast in balance
with the new silk lines that replace braided horsehair. He has been regarded as the father of the modern fly rod.

Fisherman´s Prayer
God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day, and when the final cast is made and life has slipped away,
I pray that God ´s great landing net will catch me in its sweep, and in his mercy, God will judge me big enough to keep.
