FWBass: Team Oswald Doubles Up

by fishwrench 5. July 2009 16:06

A Texas-rigged worm thrown on the main lake proved to be the hot ticket in the 2nd event of the FWBass series, as Team Oswald posted its second victory in as many tournaments. Team members Torrie Oswald and John Nooyen weighed an impressive 23-pounds and 8-ounces over 6-bass from Medicine La... [More]

Local Moron Hooks Biggest Fish: Loses Contest By 4 Feet

by fishwrench 1. February 2009 17:25

Argh! I just set the hook in the winning fish at the 13th Annual Big Eagle Lake Association ice fishing contest, but I didn’t win. Let me explain. The hole next to me was occupied by a nice young man - maybe 10 to 12-years in age. He had chatted with me about my Marcum depth finder as ... [More]

Wait With That Jerkbait

by fishwrench 3. November 2008 17:11

Soon, cold temperatures and piles of plow truck dirtied snow will be making room for warmer air, muddy yards, and chirping birds. Dock sections will be thrust back into the waters from which they came months ago. A barren shoreline will be smattered with the likes of swim rafts, boats, and lifts c... [More]

Wanting Winter Bass? Slow It Down

by fishwrench 28. October 2008 21:41

With the sun falling lower into the daytime sky, days are getting shorter, and so are our opportunities to pursue the fish we love. Soon, the gentle splash of waves will give way to the creaking and cracking sound of shifting ice. Or will it? It was just last year that I fou... [More]

Midwest Rod and Reel: Bringing Quality to Custom

by fishwrench 29. June 2008 14:59

Every so often I have a chance to meet someone truly engaging - someone so passionate and knowledgeable in their trade that they talk and I listen like a bass drawn to the sound of a rattling jig. These people teach me something. I leave the conversation - only after forcing myself to disengage - ... [More]

Can I Get Fries With That?

by fishwrench 28. May 2008 23:25

In the last 5-years of fishing, no lure has made a big of a shift in soft plastics as Gary Yamamoto’s Senko. It’s cigar shape provided a tasty treat that bucket mouths couldn’t resist. Imitations soon filled store shelves – sometimes at 2-3 dollars less per bag.... [More]

Post Spawn Spinnerbaits

by fishwrench 8. May 2008 10:54

Nothing buttons the mouth of a bass like the days following the spawn. For inexperienced anglers, it can seem like the bass have all but disappeared from the lake. For others, it may seem like the only lure that’s going to grab a cagey bass is a wacky worm, or other finesse rigged plastic. N... [More]

Battery Up! Don't Strike Out On Opening Day

by Mr. Fishwrench 29. April 2008 13:58

OK, Mr. Rayovac – it’s almost opening day…are your batteries holding 12-volts? The first warm weekend in May is a great time to get the boat out of winter storage and fire it up for a run around the lake, but don’t ruin my day when you do it. I don’t want to be stuck... [More]

1200 Miles of New Lakeshore: Now What?

by fishwrench 28. April 2008 23:31

Bob Perkins worked hard all year long fishing the ABA Bassmaster Weekend Series, Minnesota division. Out of the gate he took home the top prize at Lehomme Dieu. A 13th place finish on the Whitefish Chain didn’t sway him. Collected, he brought his ‘A’ game to Pokegama to claim is ... [More]

Pull-up, Back-up, Launch, Move Away

by fishwrench 14. April 2008 23:18

Listen up, Cracker Jack; if you're only going to hit the water with your fancy-pants boat once or twice a year, my advice to you is to stay home! I'm sick of watching you try to back down the middle of a two-boat landing while zigzagging like a drunkard in a wind tunnel. You have no busine... [More]
