MONTHLY TIPS
--As Fisherman, we must stick together and share fishing tips with others.
Here are some tips to help us Keep Our Fishing Season Going till that first fishing day next spring.
- With icing conditions, fish are in, around or over deeper cover like brush and structure such as ledges or creek channels.
- Crappie too will be around deeper vertical structures or steep breaks and better if there is good cover.
- Bluegills will hold in lake or pond basins adjacent to any weeds and not always in the deepest water..
- As we get into the end of winter or ice, look for fish to suspend more.
** 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 - -
