Lessons learned from the 2012 ice fishing season

In Minnesota we enjoy the opportunity to put an ice fishing or nfl jerseys cheap spearing shelter on the lake. The law allows us to leave it on the lake unattended. To be clear, I’m not focusing on portable ice fishing tents or shelters that an angler sets up and takes home with them.

I’m focused on the ones that anglers put out and leave on the lake overnight. In most cases, these are the houses that are constructed with building materials that are pulled out on a lake and are very cheap jerseys from china comfortable to fish from. If you have one of these, the 2012 season reinforced the point, that as a responsible ice angler you have to check your shelter regularly.

This winter we experienced exceptional early ice season conditions. cheap nfl jersey As the winter progressed abundant snowfall quickly changed the ice fishing landscape. Travel conditions on the lake, as well as the weight of snow on the ice, created serious problems. A good lesson is that you need to be checking your fish house daily and at a minimum weekly to stay on top of ice and snow conditions around your house to avoid problems. It’s the responsible thing to do.

Opening of inlet channel will ruin walleye fishing

Editor,

I agree with the writer of the March 25 letter, “Opening football jersey online of s. marina endangers walleyes,” addressing the opening of the south marina inlet at Willard Bay.

I called the Northern Division of Wildlife Resources and was told they were under a lot of pressure to open the inlet. I don’t know who would pressure them to do this. I am sure it wasn’t cheap nfl jerseys from china anyone who understands the spawning habits of walleye.

Walleye very seldom hit lures while they are spawning. When you see people fishing the inlet with lures using gigantic treble hooks, you know they are trying to snag the fish. This only interrupts the spawning. Walleye are one of the few fish that reproduce without having to be purchased to plant in Utah waters by Wildlife Resources.

Wake up and keep the south marina inlet channel closed wholesale jerseys free shipping during the spawning season or you will ruin the walleye fishing for the rest of us fishermen.

Wisconsin walleye fishing could be limited by tribal spearing plans

The six bands of Chippewa in northern Wisconsin have declared nfl football jersey intentions to spear a near-record number of walleyes during the cheapest nfl jerseys annual spring harvest.

UNH professor wins book prize for fishing research

A University of New Hampshire associate professor of history cheap jerseys from china has been honored for his book on the history of the human impact on the ocean.

W. Jeffrey Bolster has written "The Cheap NBA Jerseys Mortal Sea: Fishing the Atlantic in the Age of Sail."

While overfishing is often thought of as a contemporary problem, nba jersey china Bolster examines how fishermen were transforming the sea long before fishing became an industrial enterprise. The western Atlantic's fishing banks, stretching from Cape Cod to Newfoundland, have attracted fishermen for more than 500 years.

Fishing Tips: Catch Monster Brown Trout at These 7 Best Tailraces

Big trout are not necessarily genetic mutants—they’re simply nike nfl jerseys voracious feeders that are constantly on the prowl for an easy meal, which means some of the slabbiest salmonids of the year are highly catchable right now in the tailraces below dams.


Whereas most of the year big fish sulk in deep holes and feed mostly at night, in winter the baddest brownies and most reckless rainbows head to the churning waters of dam outflows. These behemoth Cheap New York Jets Jerseys trout—​­particularly browns and rainbows—abandon their usual cautious ways to get in on the food buffet and chow down on churned-up bait pieces spit out by dam turbines.


“It has been my experience that tailwater fish act much different from regular [river] fish,” says big-trout fanatic Kelly Galloup, author of Modern Streamers for Trophy Trout and owner of the Slide Inn on Montana’s Madison River. “First, you have the filter feeders that sit and eat Mysis shrimp all day. Then you have the fish that basically take up residence below the dams, becoming free-foraging meat-eaters. Here on the Madison in Montana, I have that situation. The fish are generally taken with bigger diving crankbaits and mostly at night. They Cheap Oakland Raiders Jerseys seem to look primarily for really big food sources, such as chubs, crayfish, and medium (6- to 12-inch) trout. Targeting these fish can be difficult simply due to the volume of water that dams can put out. The unique situations are when you get a push of stunned fish. Obviously when that occurs, the forage base is right in your face, so you simply match the food with an appropriate-size fly or lure. I have seen where killed or stunned cisco and shad (not all the fish are killed; many are simply stunned and have trouble regaining equilibrium) can go for miles below the actual dam. In my experience, this is the ultimate in feeding frenzies for truly huge fish.”

UA surveys skills needed for fishing industry

Surveys will go to fishermen, ship operators, vessel mechanics, nfl jerseys wholesale marine researchers and seafood processors.

Paula Cullenberg of the cheap jerseys School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences tells the Kodiak Daily Mirror (http://bit.ly/WXy4g1) that surveys will ask what the future jobs will be and where the greatest needs are for training, internships or apprenticeships.

The university says information collected could be used to nike nfl jersey determine what courses it should offer.
