From Coho's to Lake Trout
What a great weekend of trolling on the big pond. Saturday Lenny and I got into a few Chinooks and coho's with one of the Chins being a 14lber. Sunday I decided to run up to Milwaukee to get in on the coho action with Brittany and despite a slow start we ended up sticking 6 of them. Monday I brought a fellow Raven Tackle Pro Staffer out for his first trip of the year and after sticking a beautiful 10lb brown, Jarrett landed a smaller coho. While working out to deeper water an


Bluegill Bonanza
Today I made it out to a local inland lake with an old timer I fish with in search for bluegills and it was some of the fastest bluegill action I've ever seen. Between the two of us in 5 hours, we caught well over 100 bluegills and kept 38 between 7.5 and 9''. In addition to the bluegills we also landed a handful of bonus bass. I still have openings this month to get on this action. Don't forget this is a great way to get you kids into fishing. To book a trip click on th

It didn't take long for my Lowrance to light up with bait and I knew it was only a matter of time before one of my flicker shad where going to fire. All of a sudden I head o


White bass to bluegills part 2
The last weekend of April I get out both days for another white bass to bluegill combo. Saturday I took a good friend out to the rock river for her first time targeting white bass. With the water dropping close to 10 degrees from the week before, it really shut them down. We ended up with a handful of small saugers and Brittany had a lot of fun fighting a northern pike and two white bass on my 13 Fishing Muse while pulling minnows off the bottom. Sunday I took a co worker
