All Eyes On Fishing's Podcast

Why Fish Tournaments

Competition!  That feeling of purpose and the need to sharpen your skills and improve your focus.  Thats why we fish tournaments.  Why do you?  Why should you fish tournaments?  For some it's hanging with the guys and talking strategy.  For others it's a way of making a living.  Maybe you enjoy the tension before the takeoff or walking up to collect a check?  Whatever motivates you, there is no better feeling then tournament fishing.   

Leadcore Basin Fish

It's early spring and the Walleye are roaming the open basin of your local lake/reservoir.  You see marks on your graph and the fish are close to the bottom or belly to the bottom.  Using in-line weights or other snap weights is too aggressive for early spring and you need a weight system to deliver your crank bait to the bottom.  Leadcore is a versitile easy way to troll for those early spring Walleye.  Once you start to master using leadcore, you can use leadcore to deliver crawler harnesses over submerged trees and brush or use leadcore to follow the rolling contours of a shore line.  This weeks podcast covers getting you started using leadcore and some of the applications for trolling leadcore.  

Something Smells Fishy

This weeks podcast begins the conversation surrounding sent.  How big a factor is scent when targeting particular species of fish?  Are fish attractant products all they are cracked up to be?  After you apply sunscreen should you wash your hands before touching your bait?  All these questions and much more are discussed in "Something Smells Fishy".  

Regional Colors For Walleye

This is a can't miss podcast where we discuss color selection for Walleyes!  We debate the importance of color and if color choice is dictated by regions.  Midwest Walleyes have different preferences than western Walleyes.  Midwest water is different than western water and is that a difference maker?  Is the mighty Mississippi River the boundry between using gold or silver and do our Canadian fishing friends to the north have different go to colors?  A very interesting conversation and a must listen before this years tournament circut or before you start restocking for open water.  

Funny Fish Stories

We all have them.  Some of us are better at telling them.  The BIG ONE.  The one that got away.  The one that stripped line off and just before you could net it...the fish is gone.  That one time when you needed one more fish in the box to win the tournament and your planer board goes back and it ends up being a carp.  The submarine Largemouth Bass on her spawning bed and when she finally hits she wraps you in a dock.  In this weeks comical podcast we recall great fish stories and we don't hold back on giving each other a hard time.

Night Time is BIG FISH Time

With the chill in the air it's time to troll at night for BIG trophy sized fish.  Walleye, Bass and Trout all suspend in the fall and can be caught trolling at night.  In this weeks episode we discuss trolling at night.  What baits we use and how we make your planer boards visible at night.  This podcast discusses the critical concepets discussed in the night trolling article published last spring at alleyesonfishing.com.  A must listen if you want to go after the fish of a lifetime. 

REACTION STRIKE!

It's that time of year when the kids are headed back to school and the fishing is trasitioning to the late summer and early fall patterns.  The forage in the lake has hatched and is getting big enough to provide the fish with plenty to eat.  You NEED to step up your game and present something to those well fed fish that will cause a reaction strike.  This weeks podcast discusses Jig-N-Raps, Moonshine Minnows and blade baits.  We discuss where to use these absolutely deadly presentations and how to make the fish STRIKE!
