That's cool. Maybe he can just write the cliff notes of the dictionary then.
Tox is right when he says casual, I don't spend alot of time on the computer when I'm home. And especially in the fall, it's hunting season and walleye time!!
Now that deer hunting is done and the lakes are between open and safe ice to walk on.
So I think I read Pike, walleye and gills.
I fish on Lake St. Claire mostly, so there are areas with current and the fish tend to migrate around (tributary of the great lakes), water is not very deep 17 feet at best.
Pike and walleye: Fish early morning and late at night, I use mostly lead-head jigs and occasionally I use spot tail minnows (when I can get them). Trick I like to use when pike are being taken is to put 5-10 minnows in a mason jar, pop some very small holes in the lid and hang the jar down in the water on a heavy line, the minnows flash and bring them in. We can spear pike here so I don't usually "fish" for them that much. Walleye (here) I fish at night, from sundown til around 2:00 am, colder than hell out, but best time for catching them.
We have gills but not alot, mostly in canals and back waters, I use wax worms (bee larve), and wigglers (May fly larve). Use small jigs mostly yellows and whites. Same bait I would use for perch, which is what mostly go after.
Can't wait, by next weekend the ice should be safe enough to start hitting the bigger weed beds on the main lake....
Going up north in a few weeks to go after white fish, deep water 60-100 feet, usually use blood baits for them. and the only time I fish in a shanty.
