If you're reading this, you probably remember your first fish and its impact on your life. Most anglers get their start early on in their lives and the reason is because somebody decided to take them fishing. It's always fun to introduce someone to fishing and the "take a kid fishing" mantra has been stated for years, but the important part is to make the experience enjoyable and catch fish.
An ongoing fish die-off on Lake Macatawa, near Holland in Ottawa County, stems from the virus responsible for causing viral hemorrhagic septicemia, or VHS, the Michigan DNR confirmed.

Avid fishermen like to use a term that some anglers dont quite understand: The pattern.
A pattern is proven methodology used to find and catch fish on a specific day. It can be a type of lure, how the lure is worked, depth, or any number of environmental factors. The best pattern is one in which you figure out all of those elements.
Its like putting together a puzzle. The sooner you get all the pieces in place, the better your success will be on a given day.
Its a system bass fishermen use but it also can be applied to just about any other kind of fish that lives in our natural lakes.
