The one about the Blog

We have a team of so many amazing individuals from guides, media producers, fabricators, sales, mechanics and so much more with one common interest; fishing. We are starting a blog to melt together a ton of unique individuals and to tell the stories of our lives and how they translate into the fishing world. Over the course of this blog we will have discussions on guiding, safety, boating, tournament angling, rod building, setups, and even how we sneak away from work to have our fishing moment. We hope you follow along as we tell our stories. Matt Bain - JT Outdoor Products Contributor

The one about the Silver Frenzy

It’s the Month Of March, and as the days get longer and the ice gets darker it is exciting  and natural  to look forward to open water fishing.   As a South Dakota Resident, most would think the first fish that comes to  my  mind during the Spring would be the Walleye.  But, not for me!  Although I enjoy catching walleyes or any fish for that matter my favorite fish to pursue during the Spring is the Silver Bass!    Whities or Silvers as I call them are an aggressive fish that cong r e gate in  large schools throughout the year.   The Spring is a great time to target these fiesty fish and have fun until your arms are sore.   Anglers of all ages and experience levels can enjoy success with multiple hooksets and screaming drags during a Silver Feeding Frenzy.  Here are   a  few tips on how to  locate  them, stay on them and present to them  to get your  fishing fix this Spring on some Monst...

The one about the big PIKE

I Like Big Pike and I Cannot Lie “You know what I really want to fish for this weekend?” I ask my husband Sean at dinner Friday night before we set up our fishing plans. “What?” He replies. “I really want to catch a big pike, it’s been awhile, and I want to switch it up this weekend!”  Saturday morning January 11 th Sean, his brother and I set off to Mille Lacs Lake, our favorite fishery in our home state. It was a cold morning, the temperature was 16 below zero. We headed out to a rocky point where we knew we could set up to fish for walleyes and maybe just maybe catch the elusive Esox Lucius (Northern Pike). Jigging and fighting a fish with a rod is the absolute best but increasing the chances of catching that trophy fish with a few other lines out (one extra line per angler in MN) with either a tip-up or Snare rod is even better to maximize the coverage below the ice! We rigged the snares up for walleye and set up my tip-up with a 9in sucker minnow because “go big or go...

The one about FIRST ICE

Ahh…..first ice…  Who doesn’t love the sound of that?  I know I do.  Many of you in the colder climate zones, have already knocked your first chip off the ol’ ice block!  I am unfortunately still waiting for good, safe ice in my concrete jungle, heat-island region of the Midwest.   First ice has always been one of my favorite times to fish.  Whether it be running flags up in the extreme shallow and weedy bays for some white speckled green “snakes”, or 5-gallon pail sitting tight-lining with an old splintering fiberglass spring bobber style rod and reel tipped with a half-busted paintless panfish jig and some half-dead waxies.  I have my spots.  Yes, MY spots, not yours, mine…  Oh, come on, I’m sure you’ve heard that a time or two?!!  But I do, I have my local haunts I always hit up for the first drop of the puck (transducer, that is).  I could usually get on a fairly good bite and rake-in some good numbers, but the qualit...
