“Blue-sky Bluegills!”
It was a beautiful night! My neighbor Steve tied into this monster Bluegill!
Fishing in waders is like sitting in the seat of a fast-moving race car…your immersed right into the action!

“The Not-So-Little Nipper!”
On this day, I called Matt, and told him he needs to get down here! I broke my line and lost three, Lindy Little Joe, “Little Nippers” to some ferocious Piranh-like Crappie action!

“Spring Crappie Fishing is Just Around the Corner!”
Ah, Yes! The smell of the earth warming by the sun’s hot rays and the feel of a Black Crappie tugging at your line…
Wait! —Where’s my bobber?
Remember those feelings? Well, it’s almost that time! I just came back from checking the lake for open water. The ice is starting to recede from the shoreline. Soon, we’ll be in our waders — wetting our line and setting our hook into some awesome fighting fish!

“Tailgate Fishing!”
“The phone rings” – It’s Grandpa, wondering if we want to go fishing. It didn’t take us long to get ready. With the pickup already loaded, all we needed was a cold beverage and a snack and we’re on our way!
Some of my best memories are sitting on the tailgate – talking smack and sharing laughs. It’s great to see my daughter enjoying the outdoors with Grandpa!

With plenty of ice on the lake, this 31.5-inch northern pike
made staring at our bobbers — all worth while!

“Personal Best!” (Archery)
It was mid-afternoon, the day before opening rifle season, when Rick connected with a nice 6-point buck. At deer camp, everyone was anxious for Saturday’s morning hunt. Congratulations Rick!

“Not Your Typical Day!”
I received Brian’s call Monday. A tall 11-point rack was not typical, nor was the 60-degree weather! I was asleep in my stand when this deer was harvested.

The Blueberry season is apon us!
Have you noticed lately, Black Berries along the paths or signs now advertising, “Pick Your Own Strawberries?” This is the time of the year when Blueberries begin to ripen.
I’ve never been Blueberry picking, but after my experience Morel Mushroom hunting this year, I feel compelled to search for this allusive—all so sweet, die my fingers purple, Blueberry. Watch FML Outdoors: Episode 3.
Thanks to our contributing writer, Betty Vandenheuvel, I have a couple spots to check out. Wish me luck!

“No one deserves it more!”
Our esteemed fishing buddy and this years 2009 Eelpout King showed off his talents, once again, with this 15-pound song-of-a-catfish. Eye witnesses to the event commented that landing this fish and beaching the boat on a mid-river sandbar, could have been handled better with a net! Do I see a pattern developing? Stoney, you deserve this fish!

Learning to Fish Starts with Knowing What Fish to Keep

150 years ago, Lake Superior Whitefish was called the daily bread of the Ojibwe anglers, as it was very abundant. Sue Erickson Staff, writer for the Wisconsin Mazina’igan paper, says that today’s wholesale market prices are well below what they were twelve years ago or more. Prices of salmon and whitefish are low, but both are a wanted and needed commodity. More on the website: www.lakesuperiorwhitefish.com
Information on whitefish, lake trout and lake herring can be found there, and information on the health benefits of N-3 (omega-3) fish oil and how to protect your heart and protect your family from dangerous chemical contaminants like mercury found in local and state fish and imported fish such as walleye from Canada as reported by the Chicago-Tribune story, Toxic risk on your plate, found at: www.chicagotribune.com/news/specials
Women who may be pregnant or nursing, and young children should eat types of fish lower in mercury. 1-888-SAFEFOOD for more information. Alternatively, go to: www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/admehg3.html
