New Addititions

I have now added an RSS feed for some national fishing news which includes a general fishing report for most types of fishing. Enjoy!

Fall Hunting

As you probably can tell it is Fall now and all of the leaves are changing to bright oranges and reds. It is a great time to enjoy the outdoors, with it being warm enough to go without a jacket and not rainy like spring. Fall in MI means that deer hunting season is upon us. I am a nhunter but I have not went hunting this year. Too busy, but oh well I still have ice fishing coming up. Michigan has plenty of some of the best white-tail deer in the U.S. Here is the link to look at the Michigan DNR website which has the season times: www.michigan.gov/dnr

Fall Fishing

I have been reading on the internet and a couple of fishing magazines that during the Fall northern pike, walleye and other larger predatorial fish are more likely to bite. This is due to the colder weather which causes the larger fish to have to "I need to stock up" before winter. In other words you will have a higher chance of catching a much larger fish during this time because they are getting their last large feast in before the ice freezes over the lakes. Tips for retrevial of lure that I saw was the figure 8 technique. At the end of lure retrevial when its almost to the boat, wave your rod in a figure 8 motion. The change in direction like that will trigger the fish to bite!
