10 Tips for Spring Panfish

Kubie Brown
Kubie Brown May 22, 2023
Most spring panfish anglers are “Andy Griffith” types who whistle a merry tune as they stroll down to the water with their rods over their shoulders, not necessarily concerned with catching fish. They have a bit of an “aww shucks” attitude towards fishing, blaming any lack of action on cold water...

Watch: Angler Narrowly Survives Tiger Shark Attack

Jordan Sillars
Jordan Sillars May 15, 2023
A kayak angler in Hawaii narrowly escaped the jaws of a tiger shark over the weekend, and he captured the entire harrowing experience on video. Scott Haraguchi was fishing less than a mile off the coast of Oahu in shallow waters when he heard a “whooshing noise” and saw what he at first described as...

Do You Know Where the Fish Are? GLATOS Does.

Ross Robertson
Ross Robertson May 10, 2023
The fishing industry often seems to scoff at technology—just look at the current debate surrounding forward-facing sonar in tournaments as an example. But, while fishing gear and tactics can be controversial in the competitive space, a group of biologists and conservationists are using a technology...

More Weights in Fish, This Time at a Sucker Fishing Tournament

Jordan Sillars
Jordan Sillars May 4, 2023
A Michigan angler got busted last week for hiding lead weights in his fish during the Omer Suckerfest, an annual 10-day sucker fishing competition held along the shores of the Rifle River. “Omer is self-proclaimed Michigan's Smallest City, but for a few weeks in April, it's a busy strip of shoreline...

5 Best Spring Fish Migrations

Kubie Brown
Kubie Brown May 3, 2023
Winter can be a hard season for anglers. No matter how much we enjoy ice fishing, midge hatches, and other winter fishing, at a certain point, we get a bad case of the winter blues. During the coldest times of the year, when ice covers our favorite waterways, and snow piles up on our beaches and...

How to Get Started Spey Casting

Kubie Brown
Kubie Brown Apr 19, 2023
Lao Tzu once said, “The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.” Well if I had my way, I’d go back in time to duct tape his mouth closed long before he ever uttered that phrase. Everyone in my life—from my dad teaching me to ride a bike to my high-school girlfriend trying to tell me it was...

Anglers Release Potential World Record Bull Trout

Jordan Sillars
Jordan Sillars Apr 17, 2023
Two anglers released a bull trout earlier this month that almost certainly would have broken Oregon’s state bull trout record and may have been big enough for a new world record. Ryan Mejaski and Joe Wilhite were fishing on the Deschutes arm of Lake Billy Chinook when Mejaski cast his lure into a...

The Best and Worst Fishing Scenes in Hollywood

Kubie Brown
Kubie Brown Apr 4, 2023
When I was a kid, I was a total fish nerd. I wore a Bassmaster trucker hat to school every day, dug for worms at the bus stop, and made fishing rods out of sticks and dental floss so I could “fish” the playground puddles. Needless to say, this childhood obsession with angling didn’t make me the most...

How to Be a Good Fishing Partner

Chester Floyd
Chester Floyd Mar 29, 2023
Seth Morris might say that I'm the best fishing partner anyone could dream up. You heard that right, the best! Not because I take up less space in the boat, my fish-catching abilities, impeccable netting skills, precision trailer-backing, or the superb sandwiches I make, but because I am allergic to...

Which States Have the Best Fly Anglers?

Kubie Brown
Kubie Brown Mar 16, 2023
Everyone knows at least one of those fly anglers who just seems to get it. The ones who always catch the most fish, the biggest fish, the most challenging fish, and they always seem to make it look easy. This person may be a local legend who sits at the end of your favorite riverside bar every night...
