Fishing in Frigid Temperatures
I'm up near Michigan. If your fishing colder than normal temps for your area then slow down. I like a 3/32 oz black marabou hair jig, it looks like a leech in the water. Be patient.

Looking for a specific type of worm...

Who here fishes from the bank?
My local river has alot of current and alot of smallmouth bass. I can pick it apart better from the bank than my canoe. My biggest last season was around 20" and a bit over 4#

Retro Bass Fishing
In 1979 I went up into Algonquin Park with a buddy of mine for a 14 day trip. On day three at the end of a portage we found 2 spinning combos and a box of tackle and lures. Was my first fishing trip and I still use the rod. Ps - fresh lake trout are excellent in garlic and butter
