Small Bait. Big Rumble.

Bemidji, MN (March 20, 2023) – True crankbait fans know that Northland Fishing Tackle’s Rumble Bug is the real deal when it comes to drawing strikes from walleyes, bass and jumbo panfish that are putting on the finicky act. The original 4-cm (1.57-inch) balsa body diving plug sports a small profile, tight wiggle, and the ability to take advantage of multispecies opportunities when cast around hard structure, weedlines or other cover. With a maximum diving depth of 7 feet, it’s renowned for denting local walleye stocks on the troll.

Missouri Trout Season Opener Celebrates Fishing, Friends and Family 

When the whistle blew on the morning of March 1, trout season opened in Missouri. I was standing under the bridge at Montauk State Park. On both sides of me, other anglers were a rod length away, and I was happy to have them there. The trout opener is a celebration of fishing. It was fun to spend the day with over a 1,000 fellow anglers. 

There are four Trout Parks in Missouri. Each is unique, but all offer exceptional…READ MORE

CAMPING VS. GLAMPING: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

There are so many ways to satisfy the hunger to get outdoors. Some people escape to the primal wilderness to sleep on the damp, hard ground with only the moon shining above them. Others retreat to a cozy camper to lay under lush blankets, breathe in the fresh air, and get a good night’s rest. The first of those would be labeled camping, the latter glamping. So, what is the difference between the two? While the terms are widely open to interpretation, we will explore a few of the differentiating factors that define camping and glamping. READ MORE

Delisting of Gould’s Turkey in NM Provides New Opportunities for Hunters

As the 2023 spring turkey season in New Mexico approaches, hunters in the state can look forward to new hunting opportunities thanks in large part to years of conservation efforts to benefit the Gould’s wild turkey.

Last year’s delisting of the Gould’s wild turkey subspecies from the threatened and endangered species list in New Mexico was a significant achievement in conservation. After being on the list since 1974, the subspecies’ delisting demonstrates successful conservation management and preservation of the turkey population in the state.

Following a thorough assessment of the 2017 Gould’s recovery plan in New Mexico, the previously threatened subspecies has been successfully removed from the list. The decision was reached unanimously by the New Mexico State Game Commission, based on careful examination of…READ MORE

Lake of The Woods MN Fishing Report

Lake of The Woods fishing report March 23, 2023. Ice Out Trophy Fishing Is Near! Warming temperatures bring the thaw of spring, fading memories of ice season past. This is the time of year that a young man’s attention turns to open water… 

Things are beginning to wind down for the 2022-23 ice season, however hard water fishing is still hot on up here on Lake of The Woods. Houses are allowed on the lake until March 31, which bodes well for the diehard ice anglers that want to hang on to the final days of walking on water. Reports are that some anglers experienced a pretty good week and others reported a fair catch. Either way, fish are being caught and hard water fun is still being had.

KEEP YOUR CATCH FRESH WITH SMITH’S CONSUMER PRODUCTS

Whether fishing from boat, kayak, beach, bridge, dock, or pier, fish bags—or what are often called “kill bags”—are a convenient way for storing and transporting the fish you keep. Transferring fish from a boat’s fish box to a cooler and then to the location where you clean the fish is much more efficient if you store and move the fish using a fish bag (plus, if you put your fish directly into the kill bag, you don’t have to clean the fish boxes on your boat). On the beach, pier, kayak, or bridge, putting fish into the fish bag makes transportation easy and the insulating properties of the bag keep fish fresh, unlike using a bucket. Likewise, many fish bags also double as live bags, fitted with aerators for transferring live fish from live well to weigh stations at tournaments or for keeping live bait. So, fish bags can be important and efficient parts of your gear, but it is important to understand what to look for in…READ MORE
