Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area is an amazing contrast of high desert, deep lake and shallow river, mountains and canyons, primitive backcountry and modern technology.

Redfish are in very shallow water in the back creeks. They go in there as the sun warms the shallows a little bit and they search for crabs and mud minnows to eat. Fishermen are sneaking up on them at low tide. The fishing guides use push poles to put their boats into position because the smack of an anchor or the noise of a minnkota will scatter the redfish.



The competitors could fish either Pickwick Lake or Wilson Lake on either side of the Wilson Dam. On the Tennessee River, Wilson Lake spreads through 15,930 acres of northern Alabama. Approximately 18 miles long, the lake can drop to more than 100 feet deep in places. Several major coves dominated by rocky bluffs and forested tributaries create 154 shoreline miles.

Sevylor developed the Fish Hunter especially for people that love to fish. Once that you're out on the lake fishing, you simply will not want to come home. The boat is roomy and the seats really are comfortable. They are incredibly steady on the water and can even support uneven loads as a result there isn't problem having two or three people in the boat. Dogs are usually not an issue making this boat an excellent selection for duck hunters. Sevylor should have labeled it other Duck Hunter.

Pontoon boat fishing with the kids was always fun when they were younger. Actually it still is fun now that they are adults. Now they can bait their own hook!

Where do you look for the fish come summer? Where don't you look? They usually won't be high on the flat. Looking for crawlers along the shoreline is most likely a waste of time. Look on deeper parts of the flat. Look at the edges of bars and along drop-offs. Look in the shade underneath docks. Summer fish generally prefer deeper water than winter fish do, and although that is a generalization it usually holds true.

I've recently bit the bullet and joined the North American Fishing Club. In the past, I've been wary of these mail-order groups who send you some product once a month for you to keep and buy, or send back, keeping the free gift. In order to enjoy the benefits, make sure you pay attention to the shipments, or sooner or later you'll start getting nasty notes saying, 'You owe us money. Pay up, chump!' I'm enjoying NAFC so far, as the freebies are more than worth it. Once a month, I receive a book on fishing- Trout, bass, walleye... and a few little freebies. This month, it was a Rapala rattler lure, and some Berkley 12 lb test. More than worth the $12 asked for the book, that I kept and paid for.

You will need an minnkota talon fitted to you boat, preferably a foot controlled model. This will give you the ability to move the boat around almost silently to position the boat for the best cast whilst not scaring the fish.

1) Sevylor Fish Hunter 360 - 12 foot long. The 360 will work for 2 - 3 adults along with angling gear. Sevylor markets the 360 as a 6 person boat. What they mean is actually that it can take the weight of six adults. There is not adequate space in the Fish Hunter 360 for six people, let alone fishing gear.

Since these lures do not dive as deeply as Crank Baits, they are best for fishing shallow water, especially over submerged vegetation or other structures that are near the surface. They are usually fished in 6 to 8 feet of depth. These lures are used only by casting. A cast is made as far as possible, while the retrieve is made in a rapid fashion, jerking the lure in a zig-zag motion.
