Must Have Pan Fish Baits

Today I had a few hours to kill so I head off to near by lake with some ReelBait 1/4oz Prototype Spoons, 1/8oz ReelBait Original Flasher Jigs, size 4 Zero Twist Shot (drop shot hooks), a 15 pack of XZone Pan Slammer in Red/White and some 1/8 oz Salmo Hornets.  Seeing how I didn't have much time I figured that I

Many anglers have been waiting on these conditions for months to get out on the water and throw top water baits.

Spawning Myths – From the Wild Side

   As I was listening to my good friend Joey Monteleone on this morning’s broadcast of Wild Side Radio on WSM, I was impressed by his subject matter of spawning myths.
