2/20/2015 11:00:00 AMWow the fishing this past week has been fantastic. Lots of great opportunities for walleyes, perch, crappies, gills and pike. Most of the fish have come by targeting big open flats and channel edges for perch and crappies and shallow weeds for gills and pike. The best advice for finding fish right now is to use your Humminbird e...

2/19/2015 5:15:00 PMFishing has continued to stay somewhat slow overall. Fish are being caught, but you're working for each and every one of them.

When it comes to catching crappies and walleyes, one typically targets them in low light periods, or...
