Summer fishing is in full run now and anglers are spread out over their favorite honey holes. What a great time to remember our great fishing resources and do what you can to improve what we use and support local water authorities as they work on our behalf. Educate our neighbors, offer a leading hand to a new boater,teach a dad or mom how to fish on behalf of their own children, as you leave a park, launch or marina take five minutes to pick up some trash and by all means take a child fishing yourself.
This is the time of year where families have the best chance to experience the great outdoors; with their vacation plans. Have you ever watched a parent with their child fishing, while noting a tone of frustration on the parent’s part? Maybe you have seen a young angler using the well known inline spinner bobber combination. Ask these new anglers if you can help or offer a fishing tip.
This edition of ODU Magazine should hit many areas of the summer fishing explosion we are in and give a load of pointers to improve your days on the water. Please enjoy our offering of fishing articles and share our magazine with your friends, its free to read. Bass, Walleye, Crappie and more are all cover. How about where to start looking for those Muskies?
What is coming in August from ODU Magazine? The Top 99 of ICAST. These are products that were newly introduced this year and several prior year products that we were not familiar with, but needed to be shared. Who makes it into the Top 99? Our team visited a slew of manufacturer booths and listened, tested and chose the products we would want in our tackle closets and on our boats. More importantly, these are products we would share with our fellow anglers.
