SHORT SHOTS

HOW TO RELEASE A SPAWNER
1. Handle the fish gently. Hold it upright and support the belly. Don’t suspend it by its lower lip.
2. Have your camera ready before you start fishing. The less time spent on the hook, the better.
3. Keep the fish in the water (or a livewell) until you’re ready to take a picture.
4. Don’t let the fish touch anything dry, such as boat carpeting, which will remove its protective slime.
5. Put the fish back in the water quickly.  Chances are, it’ll go right back to its bed.

“Not-So-Macho” Fishing
By Travis Peterson

Panfishing! We’ve all done it. While many anglers faithfully target larger species such as walleye, bass, pike and muskie, across North America, panfish are very popular prey. I’ll admit that watching a bobber, waiting for it to twitch, and hopefully descend below the surface, keeps me on the edge of my boat seat with anticipation.  Like myself, many of the anglers who target larger fish varieties got their start in the sport as youngsters, chasing panfish.

Tips For Catching Post-Spawn Reservoir Bass
BY DARRELL TAYLOR

For a brief period following their spawn bass go on a feeding spree, eating anything that fits in their mouth. Some of their hapless prey includes bluegill, crayfish, minnows, newly hatched ducklings, shad and snakes.

Skinny Water Bassin’
BY GLENN WALKER


When summer rolls around, water levels on many lakes and rivers go down to their lowest points. Many bass anglers will be faced with the task of fishing water that is two feet deep or less. Many of these anglers love fishing shallow water, but even the most seasoned veteran can get frustrated when there are countless banks with shallow water on them.
