Read Answer Greetings.

I fish in the Seattle area. I do pretty well with plastics (natural colors) and crank baits at dawn when the bass move up to shallow (3-4 pounds). Then most of the bass retreat deep at 25-40 feet. Buy 11am only the little ones bite. Their are hundreds perhaps a thousand of 5 to 9 pound lunkers that have ignored my tackle box for years. What can I do to get these fish to bite? Jig and pig? Could you be specific about lure size, color, line, and weight? The bottom is mostly milfoil and thick. The water is fairly clear to moderate. Is there a video or book that addresses this? Please help.

Read Answer Hi there, I got your info from landbigfish.com and had a few questions for you. Was wondering if you have fished Lake Wausau that much and could you offer any spots that produce walleye, bass or panfish? Also was wondering about the Big Eau Plein, have you fished it that much and if so is there a key to catching some of the trophy size walleye that I know are in there? Any info would be great...otherwise I live in Wausau and could use any tips that I might find useful in my area. Thanks for the help!

Tight lines, Jon

Read Answer I am interested in becoming a licensed fishing guide in Wisconsin. I don't know where to find the information I need or who to contact for the license. I don't want to guide by boat, but by ice fishing only. What qualifications do I need to have to become a licensed guide? Do I need to take any classes such as CPR? Please tell me any information you can on how I can start my dream. Thank you.

Read Answer Hello, My name is Harry Ellenbecker. I am 14 years old, and a Boy Scout working my way towards Eagle Scout. Right now I am working on my Personal Management Merit Badge. I was wondering if you would help me by answering a few interview type questions.?

I am VERY interested in someday becoming a Pro Fisherman. I was wondering when you started fishing, what got you started? What qualifications were needed to become pro, and how did you develop your skills? What are your responsibilities or duties of your career. What organizations or trade association do you belong to? Also what licenses or other regulations did you need to obtain?

I really thank you for your time in answering these questions, I hope to be able to fish with you someday. You are awesome!

Thanks,
Harry

Read Answer Hi: I was wondering if black colored line would effect how many fish I caught. I fish mostly in Wisconsin. Either on the Fox River or on Lake Pukaway.

Thank You.
