New Boats and Set Ups For Spring Fishing

Larry Jennings

There are a ton of fishing lures out there that are famous for a certain type of species.  A few examples would be the crawler harness for walleye, weedless black worm for bass, the original Dare Devil for pike.  In the state of Michigan, the Jonah Jig is what many anglers recognize to be their choice of lure for vertical jigging salmon.  On this episode Lee is joined by founder and creator of the Jonah Jig and no, his name is not Jonah.  His name is actually Larry Jennings. Larry has literally been all over the world fishing.  He shares how his travels helped shape the way he thinks about how to catch locally back in Michigan and loves how he continues to evolve as angler.  Can’t wait to have him back on the podcast again in the future!!

Freshwater Bite - Sportsmen's Empire

The month of July is typically known for always giving us our first real taste of what summer feels like. Temperatures staying in the high 90's and for some above 100 degrees this time of year defines the "dog days" of summer. For some anglers it can be some of the toughest bites to find, but it doesn't have to be. Here on this episode, Joe Okada, professional walleye angler comes on to help us through the heat of the summer and drops a ton of useful knowledge we can all put to use during these long summer days. Joe is one of the most down to earth dude's that I have met in this industry and I cannot say enough great things about the guy. He is a staple and one of the biggest names in the professional walleye angling world today. Joe takes the time to join me on the podcast to talk about his humble beginnings as a young angler, the influence of his father, what it takes to be a professional walleye angler and some great summertime tactics for putting more walleye in your boat during these hot summer months. When Joe is not fishing tournaments he can be found guiding on his local bodies of water in Wisconsin, conducting interviews, appearances and other events to continue to be a key ambassador to the sport of fishing. You can follow Joe over on his website at www.joeokada.com or on Twitter @joeokada. I want to thank Joe again for taking the time to hang with me on the podcast and it is one conversation I hope to continue in the future. This is one podcast you'll want to listen to as you crank up your AC wherever you are and sit back to enjoy. Cheers! As always, please write in with your comments, topics of interest and or guests you would like to see featured on the show.

On this episode of the Freshwater Bite Podcast, Lee and his buddies share exactly how they break down large bodies of waters in the Great Lakes, specifically Saginaw Bay.  These large body of waters can be intimidating to anglers who have never ventured out on them before.  It is an entirely different animal to attack and preparation is everything. The boys break down how to adapt to changing conditions on the ice, how to venture miles out safely, where to set up to fish, lures they use and much more.  They also go over how to keep your machines running efficiently and how to avoid major mechanical failures. If you have never fished a bay or large body of water like Saginaw Bay this episode will bring you an ENORMOUS amount of value.  From a preparation stand point on what to have with you this episode should be on repeat anytime you head out to these types of bodies of waters. Enjoy the episode and listen as the crew have a few cold ones while dropping value bombs!

Mark Martin

If you are from the state of Michigan or a walleye fanatic like I am, I'd be willing to bet that Mark Martin is a name that you have come across hundreds of time. You know him as a PWT world champ, fishing promoter throughout the U.S and Canada, "Mr. Walleye at Night" and a member of the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame just to name a few. I have to admit with a resume like Mark's I'd thought there would be little chance he would reply to my email to sit down and do a podcast with me. However, Mark proved to me why he is so well liked in our sport of fishing and sat down to give me the longest podcast episode I have to date. Nearly two hours! From his youtube channel "Mark Martin's Outdoor Adventures", writing articles for major magazines, speaking at seminars and preparing for another successful Ice Fishing Vacation School, Mark has plenty to keep him busy. He has been fishing well over 40 years and tournament fishing for more than 30! What is this dude talking to me for and what could we possibly spend almost two hours talking about you might ask? Everything,from Mark's humble beginnings and learning not just how to fish for a living but how to be successful at promoting the sport of fishing. We even somehow tied in walleye and whitetail deer similarities and how we pursue both in a similar style. I also ask Mark on how he can get walleye to bite in certain lake conditions and scenarios that I hope you can try out on one of your adventures. Since starting this blog and podcast I have learned a ton about not only how to catch more fish but more importantly the stories behind the people catching the fish. To me, finding out who the person is and their story tells a lot about how they catch fish. I'd like to think that after listening to these podcasts you can walk away with a tip or two that you can use in the field but what I think you will remember most are the legacy's these outdoorsman are creating. I want to thank Mark for coming on the show and please take time to check out some of Mark's projects in the links below.

A Michigan Legend: Mark Martin

The best way to learn about your local body of waters, what tackle to use and how to learn more about fishing in general can be as simple as logging onto your favorite social media account.  Building a community of anglers is not only good for the sport of fishing but more importantly, the FUTURE of the sport of fishing.  Angler recruitment is always an important topic and folks like Juan Gomez and Josh Strand from Reel Midwest Fishing come on the podcast today to talk about how they are building a community of anglers to not only promote the sport of fishing but how to make sure it continues to grow for years to come.  Lee also asks them about some of their “must have” ice fishing gear they never leave home without and what bodies of waters they are hitting this hardwater season.  Don’t forget to listen how to enter for the GIVEAWAY Lee is putting on.  Cheers.   Freshwater Bite is Powered by Simplecast

Community of Anglers with Reel Midwest Fishing

Most anglers when thinking of fishing Muskie in the state of Michigan think of Lake St. Clair. I'll admit that is the first thing that used to pop into my head being a native Michigander myself. After talking to Nick Day from the Michigan Muskie Alliance however, Nick sheds some light on some other Muskie opportunities in the state of Michigan that you may not have been aware of. Actually in the NW lower peninsula Nick talks about a 58 pound muskie that was caught in one of the chain of lakes around the Traverse City area (click the blue link above 58 pound muskie). More importantly Nick informs us what the Michigan Muskie Alliance organization (MMA) is doing to grow and preserve Muskie populations throughout the state of Michigan. Nick is currently the president of MMA organization and he joins me on the podcast today to tell us about some new rules and regulations that have been added this year that you may not be aware of. We talk about proper handling and how to safely release these fish so when you when you find yourself with one on the other end of your rod you can do so confidently. Now, I have never fished for Muskie before in the state of Michigan and you might be in the same situation as I. It is a species of fish that I want to pursue in the near future and I feel grateful that I have many opportunities to do so throughout the state. However, this would not be possible without groups like the Michigan Muskie Alliance who are out there actively preserving our Muskie fishery. I think of my own children and future generations who should have the same opportunity to fish or hunt for different species as we all enjoy today. Conservation is the core and lifeline for our future outdoor pursuits and if we don't protect and conserve our wildlife today we may find ourselves reminiscing on "the good ole days" of a certain species. One thing I hope to never have to think back and say in my lifetime...

Fall Fishing Reservoirs with Dylan Nussbaum

Matt Johnson

Matt Johnson talks with Lee on episode 23 just before Matt heads out for the highly anticipated Minnesota fishing opener.  Every year anglers in Minnesota count down the days until they can keep a few walleyes for the fryer again and celebrate their yearly traditions.  However on this episode Matt shares with us why we should be looking to stay away from the crowds out on the big lake to focus on crappie in the shallows.  The boys talk about how and why Matt chooses to chase crappie this time of year and to let the boat crowds die down before going after walleye again.  This and much more on episode 23.

Handlining Seminar From Domka Outdoors

Theo Toliver

Growing up some of us have aspirations of maybe moving away from home for a while to explore new and exciting places to live.  If someone were to ask you, what would be the first place you would say?  I bet not to many folks would say North Dakota.  Not that there is anything wrong with the state.  It’s actually a outdoorsman's paradise.  It has endless opportunities for those who wish to pursue amazing hunting and fishing opportunities.  Meet today’s podcast guest, Theo Toliver, who found North Dakota to be his favorite place on earth and happily made it his forever home and place to live.  Theo is quickly becoming one of North Dakota’s more prominent anglers. Fish Addictions TV found Theo to be an important figure in the central plains area and asked him to join their growing staff this past year.  Theo also continues to educate anglers on his YouTube channel and help others catch more fish.  Lee talks with Theo from his early start into the sport of fishing, the industry and also tactics to help put more fish on the ice and in the boat this season.

Bob Hinds

On this episode Lee is joined by Bob Hinds of Central Coast Angling after a successful time out on the water chasing lake trout.  These are becoming one of Lee’s favorite fish to pursue.  The boys talk about lake trout behavior this time of year, where to find them and how you can boat some for yourself.  As a native species to the Great Lakes, these fish seem to have an endless appetite but are often mishandled when caught by uneducated anglers.  Bob and Lee talk about the issues surrounding this species, how to probably bring them up to the surface and best possible handling techniques to release them back.  Enjoy! www.centralcoastangling.com

Wes Smith

When you walk into your local bait shop or Bass Pro you'll find that there are aisles full of the latest and greatest sonar technologies, GPS, lures, rods and all sorts of things. You may think you have to spend a pretty penny to put more fish in the boat. Not always the case though. Social media platforms and online forums have become an anglers digital bait shop it seems. Not to mention blogs and podcasts, like this one, seem to share ideas that will keep you sharp and informed all season. Joining or even starting a Facebook group or forum is a great way to get conversations going to help build a community of anglers catch more fish on their local bodies of water. Becoming part of online communities may help you for a plan on how you fish your local body of waters and can help save on time and money. Take for instance one of my favorite online groups that is helping me boat more fish, Metro Detroit Walleye Stalkers. I am joined on today's podcast by Wes Smith, who is the owner and group administrator. I firmly believe some of the questions, ideas and dialog's conducted on well run groups like the Stalkers have more value than one would think. It is important however to make sure you find the right online page or group that is right for you. On this episode I ask Wes what it takes to have a successful online Facebook group.
