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.
Abu Garcia has added a new model to the Zenon spinning selection with the Zenon X.
This new model fills the gap by offering the flexibility to fish lightweight finesse style baits while also providing the power to handle heavier baits when needed.

There are many ways to recycle Christmas trees, but tossing them on a frozen lake to create fish habitat may not be the best idea and may require a permit from the DNR.
Fish attractors tend to bring fish and fishermen together, said Bill James, chief fisheries biologist for the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. They provide cover but dont necessarily grow more fish.
Better options include taking the tree to a designated Christmas tree recycling site in your community, tossing it in the backyard to provide shelter for wintering birds, running it through a wood chipper to create your own mulch, chopping it up for firewood.

That doesnt seem to be the case for Tami Roth and her boyfriend Kevin Overley of Zionsville, Ind. who enjoy fishing Lake Webster several times a year.
You could call them muskie neophytes, yet theyve had some pretty good success.
Take last April, for instance. Tamis first muskie a 42 incher came on a tadpole.
