Fishing & Safety Tips

Tip #1: You can't catch fish if you don't go fishing.
Tip #2: It's not family fun unless you involve your family.
Tip #3: When starting to fish with more than yourself, all try something different, until you find the right method.
Tip #4: When fishing slow for walleyes, try tail hooking insted of lip hooking (Matt's favorite). This will increase your bites and catches.
Tip #5: Stay in fishable waters, meaning around structure, weeds, rocks etc.
Tip #6: When using a spinner bait for Northern and Bass, use one or two split shot a foot or two in front of bait. This will allow bait to get to the zone and still retrieve at decent speed.
Tip #7: Try to always wear life vests when underway or in high traffic areas.
