The Arctic char's willingness to take a wide variety of foods explains why it is one of the easiest salmonids to catch on hook and line.

 White crappies are cooperative biters but weak fighters.

 Unorthodox tactics for sluggish winter slabs.

Black crappies are easiest to catch in spring, when they move into shallow bays and channels to feed.

 Experienced muskie anglers know that big baits catch big fish, so they commonly use lures measuring nearly a foot long.

 "Follows," those times when a big predator shadows your lure without striking, are a part of life for pike and muskie hunters.

Successfully catching bait can be a key to fishing success, and when it comes to catching bluefish, striped bass, and a variety of other saltwater sportfish, anglers should know how to get their own menhaden, a particularly attractive bait.

Marlin are truly big-game fish, and getting them to the boat, once they are hooked, is a tremendous challenge.

You can fish muskies with the same baitcaster you use for bass, but if you hang a trophy, you'll want something stronger and sturdier.
