Well tommorrow is day 24 for me at work. I work out of town and dont get to do any fishing while I am away at work. However, starting tommorrow I will be going on 4 days off so that means I squeeze as much fishing in as possible.
I have about 4 differant places that I want to hit in my 4 days off and I only really have one target. That target is walleye. I will be taking my 16 year old with me and we are going river fishing for walley.
24 days ago the rivers were high and dirty but we havent got much rain so the rivers will be low and clear. This is going to open the door to some great walleye fishing. I cant wait.
I will post an update here after all my trips and hopefully the posts are full of great tales of catching all these river walleye.
Wish me luck
Thanks Dale

Fishing Tid Bits How To Fish Part 6
This is going to be the sixth article and it’s great to see how many people are interested in the fun of fishing. These articles are meant to have tips that everyone can use. Most of the seasoned anglers might even find a helpful tip or two in these articles. Eventually I will turn this into an eBook so go ahead and take advantage of it now. Make sure you tell your friends and families about the fishing tips articles because all I ask in return is that you go out and enjoy the fine fun of fishing.
1. Opening Pork Rinds Can Suck
Everyone that has used pork rind knows how hard the jars can be to open after the brine corrodes into the threads making it almost impossible to open. Here is a little trick that will help. Petroleum jelly spread on the threads occasionally will prevent the threads from corroding and make the lid easier to come off.
2. Early Season Walleye
Shallow rocks absorb sunlight in less then ten feet of water so that’s where you want to find the walleye after the ice comes off the lakes. While the rest of the lake is still cold walleye like the warmer water. The warmer water also has bugs swimming; this attracts bait fish which in turn attract the walleye. These same rocks can hide walleye from the sunlight in the mid summer as well.
3. Easy To Find Worms
In your garden turn over a patch of dirt 5 feet by five feet. Once you have done this put straw over the turned dirt. Keep the straw nice and moist. This is a worm bed. When you need worms just lift the straw and you will have more then you know what to do with.
4. Skirts On Hooks
The rubber skirts on your spinner baits and jigs dry out when laying in your tackle box and not being used. Go to your local retail store and buy some armor all. Spray a generous amount on and let sit for a minute then wipe off the excess. This will keep your hooks nice and new.
5. Elastic Bands And Hooks
You need to know what’s in your tackle box so for your worm hooks all you have to do is separate them into different sizes. Once you have done that you can wrap them in elastic bands. When it comes time to needing them you can just slide one out from the elastic.
This is the end of my sixth edition on my series on fishing tips. I hope so far everyone is finding useful tips that they can use or save for a later day.

Fishing Tid Bits How To Fish Part 4
Well I am back with my fourth article and it is exciting to see how many people are interested in the fun of fishing. These articles are meant for everyone. Some of the more experienced anglers probably know a lot about what I am talking about already but I think back to when I knew nothing about fishing. I wish there would have been something like that. Eventually this will be an eBook so take advantage of it while you can. I have decided to change it up a bit and submit random tips. I hope you enjoy
1. A Sure Fire Way To Find Fish
Birds are a great way to find the good fishing spots. In the winter time on the ice you will find the sea gulls and crows gathering at spots where other fishermen have left bait or some of the small fish they caught. During the summer on open water you’re going to want to watch for loons and other fish eating ducks. They are most likely diving for minnows but find the minnows and eventually the bigger fish will be there to feed.
2. Yes Fussy Crappies Can Be Caught
In the spring time you can usually find the crappies in shallow water under bushes or protected by bank cover. At this point they are preparing to spawn. At this time of the year there not too interested in feeding and especially do shy away from baits and lures. You can however coax in some of the bigger ones by presenting them bait that is as natural as possible. Cast a small minnow with no sinker. By doing this the actions of the minnow will be just natural enough to get those off season crappies biting.
3. A Worm And Bobber
When you’re using a worm below your bobber you don’t want to hook it in the head because you are going to miss your strikes. And the worst thing is those darn fish will steal your bait. You want to hook the worm twice in the middle of the body. This way the bait looks more natural and when a fish bites it is more likely to suck in the worm.
4. Walleye And Busy Lakes
So many of our lakes have become so commercialized with weekend warriors. They are populated with jet boats, jet skis, and all sorts of commotion but don’t worry the big walleye can still be caught. I would suggest getting to the lake when it’s still dark. The walleye will be hungry. You’re only going to get a few hours of frenzied fishing but it will be worth it because once the boaters get out there the walleye will make a quick dash to deeper water and their feeding will be done for the day.
5. Careful When You Are Tube Fishing
You have to always be aware of your surroundings when you fishing in a float tube. The wind can make things miserable for you. Obviously you are using your hands for fishing so your feet are going to have to do the work. I would suggest tube fishing on smaller dug outs and ponds. If it gets too windy get out because once it takes over it could be a long tiring way back for you.
This will be the end of my fourth edition of my series on fishing. Keep reading my articles as they will get more informative and detailed as time goes on.
