Family Time and Current Black Hills Fishing Report

Shore fishing hasn't been the best yet, but the cooling temperatures are starting to push fish into shallower waters looking for food to gorge on before winter ice sets in. But on a nicer day recently, I got to enjoy some quality time with both my wife, Melissa, and our newborn daughter, Aurora. I can't say that the fishing was very good (other than one small pike), but the nice day made spending time with my little family well worth it. I have to say that having a child has

Trolling Crappies

We are approaching the fall fishing season and that means that the crappies will start grouping up and moving out into the basins.

Salmo Fishing Lures have a variety of crankbaits that work perfect for this technique, these are the Salmo Hornets. There are different sizes that work and the size 3 and 4 are the most common sizes that are used. A NEW Salmo Hornet that is coming out for 20
