Open Water Fishing Season

Get ready fella. It's finally open water fishing season. There have been a few out there already but the rest of us are looking forward to our first trip out. Now one of the basic things you want to remember is to put the plug in your boat. You would be surprised how many get out there and don't remember it till the boat starts filling with water!! I've forgotten it a few times myself. Make sure the line on your reel is fresh. Alot of worry about the right lures, hooks, fish location and then go out fishing with old fishing line. That's the only thing between you and your fish and if it is not good and your knot isn't good, you're going to be wasting alot of good fishing time getting it together. If you are going to wade in, be sure you patched that hole in your waders because that water is COLD this time of year. And make sure you got a new license and make yourself aware of the new fishing rules. Things do change. Early in the year the walleyes often will be shallow in very definite locations. So it's best to anchor and cast for those fish. And don't forget the anchor. There are probably a few more things you will check out but get out there and catch 'em.
