We wish we started off 2016 this way too:
Biggie hammered a 3/16-oz Clam Bomb Spoon and minnow head.
What if you could put a camera at the end of your line? Darren T. gives us a glimpse:
That’s Aqua-Vu’s new Micro Manager. Can’t wait for the Nano Manager….
James D. on a multi-species slam:
New Year’s fishing with dad, Pat D., on Crow Lake and Sabaskong Bay in Nestor Falls, ON. Send us some ‘eye shots!
Ice Fishing
3. MN: 3 rescued after ATV breaks through ice.
Bald Eagle Lake.
4. Why long ice rods make sense.
From sensei Chip Leer:
5. When to fish bait gobs for ‘gills.

6. Flasher tips with Tony Roach and Joel Nelson.
7. Side Imaging on ice? You bet.

News
1. Bid on a huge walleye package!
Fishing trip with Al Lindner + complete sets of In-Fish mags, Walleye Guides & Walleye Insiders. Plus this kicker:
2. Asian carp could crush Erie.
What COULD happen, according to U of Mich researcher Hyong Zhang:
> Asian carp would greatly reduce the traditional food sources for walleye, rainbow trout, gizzard shad and emerald shiners.
> Ultimately, Asian carp could account for as much as 34% of the overall fish weight in Lake Erie.
3. Overharvest stunts bluegills, not overpopulation.
4. Mono and fluoro last longer…
…when stored in a freezer.
5. NH: Lead ban starts June 1.
Apparently it’s okay for ice fishing?
6. Another big season for Lindner’s Angling Edge.
‘Eye Candy
Turns out they still have a few ‘eyes on the big pond…. Murray H. with a 30+ on Mille Lacs.
