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]

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]

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]

Jigs: Not Just Another Lure In a Pretty Skirt

by fishwrench 28. March 2008 21:58

Flippin', pitchin', castin', tube baitin', gitzit, creepy crawler...yep, it all means one thing - the jig. It seems odd that what is the most versatile lure available in almost every fisherman's tackle box is the least used. Perhaps it's the lures own versatility, its bigge... [More]

Local Moron Falls Through Ice (Again)

by fishwrench 3. December 2007 17:25

Again, the temptress of thin ice plagues upper Midwest fisherman. There's too much ice on the water for a boat, the temperatures have been steadily dipping below freezing daybreak to daybreak, and summer's waterfowl have left the area for warmer holdings. Like children with their sleds at ... [More]

Bass Stacked? Try a Jigging Spoon

by fishwrench 29. August 2007 14:39

The water is cold, the bite is off, and none of your hot spots are working. The bass have started to suspend off of deep structure, and you've tossed your entire tackle box at them, a shoe, a 9/16th wrench, and the leftover beefsticks from last week's fishing trip. You may as well pack it ... [More]

Dead Fishing? Try Deadsticking!

by fishwrench 29. June 2007 00:05

Lock jaw, marshmallow mouth, tight-lipped, cold front, high sun - when they're not biting, they're not biting…until now. I can't tell you the number of times I've been on the water and thrown my entire tackle box - read BIG tackle box - at bucket mouths, and nothing pu... [More]

Bump...Set...PIKE!

by fishwrench 29. April 2007 00:03

From opening day of the fishing season to the Minnesota bass-opener can be the hardest two weeks of a basser's life. The smell of two-cycle oil floats in the air, the shores are beaming with spawning bass, but a basser can only watch from shore waiting for his moment to strike. I used to be th... [More]

Luxury Shanties on a Beer Budget

by chestersRevenge 29. September 2006 15:27

This year the FW team decided to tackle a new project for ice fishing season. We had a need for a new fishing shelter and preferred a portable. However, there are things about commercially available portables that are not pleasing: price, size, weight, price, features, price, construction, require... [More]
