Salmon do not stay shallow, and that single fact decides almost everything about how you fish for them. A July Chinook holding 90 feet of Lake Michigan thermocline will ignore anything trolled at the surface, so the rig that puts your lure at depth and keeps it there for a four-hour troll is the rig … Read more
The best fillet knives for cleaning fish are the ones with a long, thin, flexible blade, a grip that survives wet hands, and a steel that holds an edge against bone. After running all 12 of these through real cleaning work, the HOSHANHO 7 Inch earned the top spot for precision, the Victorinox Fibrox 6 … Read more
There is no product decision in fishing that punishes a rushed choice faster than the one you make in the parking lot of the bait shop.

It costs you roughly 10 to 20 percent less usable space than a standard-depth fridge of the same width, … Read more
