Punching Heavy Grass

Check out this video from Bob Tosh of Paycheck lure company. Paycheck skirts have caught a lot of fish for me over the last couple of years and I still continue to use them.
Bed Fishing

Check out this rig for bed fishing. I have never used it, but I am positive that this rig will work. This seems like it would be a perfect fit for fishing Lake Erie for smallmouth.
Unusual Bait
Posted by Staff in Tip of the Week on May 17, 2011
Catfish and Carp fishing baits tend to be slightly different than the baits used to catch other fish. It is important to have a bait that smells, so the fish can locate it faster. I have seen multiple guys on TV use soap as a bait, but here is a guide telling you how to make your own soap baits. The video is great but this seems to me this would work really well in the 3 rivers.
Take Kids Fishing
Posted by Staff in Tip of the Week on May 10, 2011
I am a great believer that kids need to be exposed to the outdoors. Whether it is fishing, hiking, hunting, or anything else it gives a certain bond and enjoyment for the kids and the parents. From the time I was born up to this past weekend I have been camping, fishing, and hunting with my parents. It is something that we have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy to do together.
Below is a video that is from Texas. Other states need to following in there footsteps and try to get todays youth involved in the outdoors. I know some local clubs and organizations hold kids tournament, but we simple need to have learn to fish sessions for kids and parents alike. Remember kids are the future of the sport. Check out the video.
Fish Stealthy
Posted by Leo Cancilla in Tip of the Week on May 3, 2011
Much of a fisherman’s success in the spring depends on how stealthy the angler can be. Trolling motors with blown bearings, dropping items on the deck, using the sonar in unnecessary situations, and disturbing anchors systems can lead to less fish catching. I have been talking up the Dig-In Shallow Water Anchors for a while now and this will help you in more ways than one. First, you are not on the trolling motor. Second, it is quiet and simple to using. Third, you are not messing with an anchor rope. Last but not least, the fiberglass rod will double as a push pole so that the trolling motor is not needed. For more information about these products check out the product reviews by clicking the links below, and by clicking on the Dig-In image below.

Bill Dance is a legend in the fishing world. Most commonly know for his many years on TV he fishes for many species of salt and freshwater fish. In this video he shows us how to use the Slip Cork Rig for catching crappie.
Jerkbaits

Skeet Reese has been on a streak that is absolutely incredible. If it wasn’t for KVD he would be the most dominate angle in the past decade. In this video he gives us some really good information about jerkbaits in general, and really focuses on the Lucky Craft Pointer. This information is not only good for bass, but other aggressive predator species as well.
Panic Box
Posted by Staff in Tip of the Week on April 12, 2011
Mike Iaconelli is one of the best fishermen in the world, but when fishing gets tough there is nobody better. Watch the following video about his panic box and the Berkley soft plastics that he keeps in it. Note that when he talks about the senario when the panic happens he picks up a spinning rod with light line. There is an important lesson there.
Berkley Gulp
Posted by Staff in Tip of the Week on April 5, 2011
Watch this video featuring Gary Klein and how he used Berkley Gulp Leechs to catch his fish on Lake Erie. This video was filmed during the Bassmaster Elite Series tournament in Buffalo New York. I personally, have catch many fish on the Berkley Leech and recommend them to everyone.
Spring Jigging for Walleye
Posted by Staff in Tip of the Week on March 29, 2011
Check out this demostration from Ted Takasaki using light jigs on rocky shorelines for spring walleye. I am not experienced with the jig that he is using, but it seems like the lindy jig really makes changing sizes fast and easy.
