Consider these three important pieces of advice to enjoy a more successful summer of catfish fishing. It is very likely that catfish are the Rodney Dangerfield of the fishing world. Catfish fight hard, are found all over, and can even be caught from shore in many cases, yet they are often still in the shadow of other species. I am guilty myself of not often taking advantage of some great angling in my own backyard. While you can make catfishing as simple or complex as you want to, here are three areas to focus on to improve your catfishing this season.

If you’ve got the cash, you can purchase the boat used in one of the biggest fishing scandals in recent memory. And it’s a pretty sweet rig. In 2022, two Ohio anglers came under fire for stuffing walleye with lead weights at a Lake Erie walleye fishing tournament. Jacob Runyan and Chase Cominsky faced multiple felony charges and were ultimately each sentenced to ten days in jail. They were also forced to forfeit the boat they used to commit their crimes to authorities. Now, that boat could be yours.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

You might think there’s an ordinance that requires people who live on lakes to own pontoon boats. Virtually every dock has one. For the longest time, I considered pontoon boats as awkward contraptions for entertaining kids, grandparents and friends who came up from the city. They were slow and lacked the pizazz of a sleek fishing boat.

Are Pontoons the Perfect Fishing Platform?

Outside the dog days of summer (and sometimes during), fly anglers almost always wear waders. Besides rods, reels, and flies, fly fishing waders are arguably the most important piece of gear a fly angler will own. They keep you dry, protect you from brush when hiking to the water, and offer organization for gear. But what makes one pair of waders better than another?

Summer truly is a fun time to go sight fishing on the flats here in the Lower Keys. The days are long, the glamour flats species of bonefish, permit, and tarpon are around in numbers, and winds are usually light which makes for easier paddling. But summer also has some challenges you won’t find during other times of the year.
