Seaguar on the Water

For the northern United States and Canada, the upcoming winter season brings a new opportunity that anglers look forward to all year: ice fishing season. The legions of avid ice fishermen fish for various species, with panfish being a popular quarry with tiny baits and light line. 

The crankbait lure category is one of the most popular in all freshwater fishing, especially when it comes to bass fishing. They come in different sizes, shapes, and with different wobbling actions. They are fine-tuned to reach depths from a foot below the surface to thirty feet or more.

The swimbait is a lure type that has gone from trophy hunting bass anglers to something used for many different species, including walleye. They come in all shapes and sizes and can be fished all year long, making them some of the most versatile lures used today.

America’s Pacific Northwest offers stunning natural beauty with lush forests, immense mountains, and many beautiful lakes, streams, rivers, and the Pacific Ocean. Opportunities abound for the outdoorsman as both fishing and hunting are exceptional for many different species, but in this region, salmon, trout and steelhead are king and generate the most attention from resident anglers and visitors looking to experience what Washington and Oregon have to offer.

Modern anglers are blessed with a host of great options when it comes to fishing gear. As fishing techniques have progressed, specifically for bass and walleye anglers, the equipment used has become more and more specialized in recent years.

The Gulf States are an inshore angler's dream with miles and miles of shoreline perfect for the inshore saltwater angler. Florida is an especially good location for inshore fans, as it has 1,350 miles of coastline, most of it ideal habitat for inshore saltwater species.
