  1. SPRO Akuru Shad couldn't catch a single bass today - 'cause the Northern Pike wouldn't leave it alone! Maybe bass tomorrow? Pics on website.
  2. Less than a month to go until Trout season here in Michigan. Been a mild, wet winter here. Anticipating an aggressive Bass season in May!
  3. Just over 37 days until Trout Season Opener in Michigan. Cannot wait!!!
  4. Brisk Michigan day- starting to feel like fall. Haven't been able to key on Northern Pike yet since the Bass were still biting. Maybe today?
  5. Beautiful day in Michigan and although I was looking for Pike, the largemouth were hitting cranksticks. Bomber Pro Long A, thanks T. Horton!
  6. Fall colors mean it's Northern Pike season - hope to take some Dardevle spoons out to Huron River late this afternoon for some toothy fish!
  7. Raining right now and lingering t-storms. About 72 degrees. PERFECT! Not expecting a soul at the lake - catch me at Kent Lake (MI)!
  8. Took crankbaits out to Barton Pond / Huron River in Ann Arbor. No bass, but one 26" Northern Pike on a Koppers Sunfish! better-fishing.com/koppers-liveta….
  9. Received my FREE Trigger-X plastics from Rapala for signing up for their newsletter (took 4-6 wk) - check out their site for any new offers!
  10. suffering from the flu last weekend, can't wait to get up early tomorrow and get back out to the lake!
  11. Network Solutions is currently experiencing technical difficulties causing trouble getting to our site. We apologize for the inconvenience.
  12. Lucky Craft Rick Clunn crankbaits are on Clearance at Bass Pro Shops.com! These lures are worth the coin - awesome! better-fishing.com/lucky-craft-ri…
  13. Ugh...bass have all but disappeared. But, I'm getting nice Northern Pike on spinnerbaits and jerkbaits. Three 30+ inchers in as many days!
  14. Got my order in from Bass Pro Shops - new lures to be tested 2DAY. Most excited about Lucky Craft Stacey King Jerkbait - results 2 night!
  15. Went out to Barton Pond in Ann Arbor yesterday, caught a nice 30-32" Pike on a spinner bait. Saw several nice smallies also, but no takers.
  16. Weather was total crap today - cold, wind, rain...only reason went out is because I knew no one else would. Guess what?! I caught a crappie!
  17. First Northern Pike of the season on a Rapala Flat Rap http://better-fishing.com/rapala-flat-rap-crankbait.htm
  18. Happy Mother's Day everyone! Do not forget it was because of your mother that you can fish today!
  19. Couple largemouth at Kent Lake yesterday, nothing special - pics 2night. Sick of Kent, thinking of hitting Huron River / Ann Arbor today.
  20. Catch and Release Opener in Michigan - pics on the website: http://www.better-fishing.com
