Another great Ice fishing episode from early on in the All Eyes library.  Time to rediscover more great ice fishing info.  Some of you have heard this one, but most of you probably haven't.  In this podcast we discuss the necessity of moving around on the ice to find active fish and how it resembles being on the water and being mobile in a boat.  More great info on where to find fish.  Time to red...

What role does color play?  We all use colored baits and we all focus on color when choosing baits, but the question is why?  In this concept podcast we discuss if color is really the deciding factor for a good bite or if it's the only factor we have to explain why we catch fish...sometimes.  More concepts to make you go hmmmmmm!  Don't miss it.  

Our first ice fishing podcast from 2017!  We cleaned it up and just couldn't bring ourselves to get rid of it.  Some great information that never gets old.  If you have listened to it before...give it another listen.  If you haven't heard it before, we think you will like it!

It's early season and the holidays are over.  Time to start looking at your equipment and getting ready for that first tournament.  Now is the time to check everything on your boat and start to order replacement fishing gear.  Make sure everything works so if repairs are needed you have plenty of time to get parts ordered and the repairs done.  Evaluate your tournament schedule and start your rese...

It's that time of year.  The boats are all snug in their beds with visions of hard water dancing in your head.  The ice houses are all set up with care in hopes Mr. Walleye will soon be there.  Now on Ford, Dodge, Toyota, Chevy, Nissan and GM but don't get to crazy the ice isn't quite thick enough yet.  Early ice and where to start looking! 

Let the debate begin!  Custom painted baits vs. Stock out of the package beauties.  There is a definite art form to painting custom baits and some look like fish catching machines, but the question and the debate comes down to...do custom baits catch more fish?  I know they catch more fisherman.  Are they worth the extra money?  We discuss our thoughts on custom baits and what we think is overkill...

Ever wonder how some of these guys get into fishing tournaments?  Or how you can get started fishing your local circuit?  What drives a person to turn a weekend hobby into a competitive sport?  This winter we are going to start a new series talking about tournament fishing.  We are going to cover all aspects of tournament fishing and have you fired up and ready to go when tournament season 2020 ro...

We all have that favorite story of heading to the lake in the fall to test your luck one last time before ice forms and you get into them.  Maybe that trip wasn't about catching big fish or a bunch of fish, maybe that trip was with someone you may never get to take fishing again.  In this weeks episode we recall some of our favorite fall fishing memories and the meaning they have for us.   

Nope...not talking about filling your freezer.  Even though that maybe what happens.  We are talking heavy metal!  Not the "Motor City Mad Man" or Metallica, but jigging spoons and glide baits.  Heavy baits that work well when fished vertically during the fall and early winter.  They come in all different shapes, sizes and colors, but one thing is for sure...they produce fish!

Fall fishing is in full swing in some areas and getting ready to start in others.  There are a few fall concepts you need to be aware of before the wolf pack frenzy begins.  In this episode we discuss fishing from shore for Walleye and locating fish from a boat in mid day.  We discuss baits that need to be in your box as the fall fishing frenzy approaches.  You don't want to miss the next importan...

The fall bite will be in full swing in the weeks to come and it's time to start looking for fishing in those classic fall bite areas.  If you haven't figured out what those areas are, we can help.  The fall bite can be precise when fishing structure and it's important to know your electronics.  Fall Transition Bite #2!

As we watch summer in our rear view mirror we notice the fish maybe a little harder to catch.  A little harder to find.  It is transition time where the fish are beginning to school up in "wolf packs" on structure and vertical presentations become the ideal method for catching more fish.  Fishing is about to get really good, but we need to keep our tactics fluid and flexible so we can keep catchin...

This bait is my favorite bait!  Two years later you can't get a bite on the same bait.  What changed?  In this podcast we discuss the theory of fish becoming desensitized to baits.  What bait will the next two year wonder be and what stands the test of time?  Why do fish seem to grow cold to baits after hot starts?  We discuss all these questions in...Desensitized!   

It's hot.  Really hot.  It's the dog days of summer and the old guys have hung up their Walleye rods till fall.  Not so fast!  Walleyes don't just disappear or go on a hunger strike because of the heat.  They just move and there is more competition with plenty of bait.  This time of year is when you really start to learn about Walleye fishing.  

It's midsummer and your bite close to shore has vanished.  Traditional Walleye wisdom would have you believe the fish are deep in cooler water.  That is partially true, they are in the deep water but they are suspended only a few feet down.  During the hot summer days those fish slide out from night time feeding locations and they suspend over deep water and they relate to pods of bait fish suspen...

It's summertime and the bite is on.  Little fish abound and bigger fish are a little tougher to find.  Tournaments are in full swing and boats are starting to troll for suspended fish.  Plenty of big fish are still to be had casting to structure.  

It's that time of year when trolling for suspended fish and fish relating to submerged structure requires some trolling skills.  Crankbaits are a great choice, but sometimes Walleyes want a little thump and a little meat to entice them to bite.  Trolling spinners is a great way to catch big Walleyes on all types of water and a tournament winning tool to have at your disposal.   

Early spring and the fish are starting to feed.  The only problem is the weather doesn't always cooperate and sometimes those fish can be slow to bite.  Slowing down your presentation and putting some meat in front of them can be the difference between a three fish day and a thirty fish day.  In this episode we discuss live bait rigging!

It's open water season and time to break out the trolling rods and planer boards.  Whether it's spinners or cranks, spring is the start of open water trolling and one of the most productive ways to put fish in your boat.  

Shallow!  That's for Bass guys.  Heavy brush!  Hope those Bass guys don't get snagged up on all that junk in the water.  Sound familiar?  If you have said this or you think this, you are probably not alone and you are MISSING OUT!  Bass habitat and Bass baits catch Walleyes!  Lots of Walleyes.  Countless times I have talked to a Bass person at the boat ramp and I am always amazed when I hear...we...

If you don't know what this is...stand by!  If you do know what this is...listen close!  The term "Deadstick" is kind of like Madonna or Parsons, only one name needed to know what I am talking about.  The ultimate force multiplier and a great way to try out different theories.  The Deadstick is in a class all its own.  This weeks podcast we help open you up to more ways to catch more fish.  DEADST...
