Korey Sprengel’s tackle box.
Got a peek at “young gun” Korey Sprengel’s tackle box (okay — we made him send us a pic!), here it is along with his four top tips for catching our favorite fish:
1) Preparation is most important step.
2) Understand the fishery and seasonal fish movements.
3) Let your electronics do the fishing and tell you whether you should wet a line.
4) Have confidence in yourself.
Don’t forget: Have every color of everything ever made…just kidding Korey haha!
From cradle to grave, corn ethanol is more polluting than gasoline by 33%, according to recent research by the EPA.
– From a KeepAmericaFishing.org post. More:
>…5 gallons of water are needed to refine 1 gallon of gasoline compared to 170 gallons needed for one gallon of E10. [This is nuts!]
Write your congressmen – include as much money as you can so they’ll listen….

No idea what it is, but was caught by somewhere in Europe ice fishing in 385 feet. Seems like a long way to reel for a little fish….

News
> “The potential increase in cannibalism may be due to a combination of many large adult walleye and fewer lake cisco. One hypothesis is that Mille Lacs walleye once preyed heavily on lake cisco that are no longer available therefore the walleye resorted to cannibalism, even though many yellow perch are available.”

Tip of the Day
Walleye pro Mark Brumbaugh:
> “I am always trying to fish close to cover, like weeds, rock and wood. But I also like to fish right over more subtle spots, like where the bottom composition changes, say where gravel butts up to clay or mud.”
> …lowers the lens of an Aqua-Vu underwater viewing system and searches for structure and variations in bottom composite. If neither are visible, Brumbaugh cranks up the power auger and drills another set of holes, moving until a bottom irregularity appears.
> He fishes fast when he’s hopping hole to hole. He uses heavy lures that fall fast, not wasting time getting into the money zone.
