  • 2012 MASTER ANGLER Highlights
    2012 MASTER ANGLER Highlights Time once again to celebrate successful anglers in In-Fisherman’s Master Angler Awards Program. Since 1975, readers have submitted records of catches of North America’s most popular fish species, by mail and on the company website, in-fisherman.com. This year, the commit- tee granted 544 awards, a substantial increase from last year. Clearly, readers are enjoying the easy on-line application process. In In-Fisherman, we’ve been highlighting outstanding smallmouth bass fisheries and this species dominated the program with 88 lunkers. Largemouth bass followed (68), with pike (61), muskie (41), and rainbow/steelhead (36), and walleye (33) next. Muskie entries have never before topped those for walleyes. To find hot lakes and prime times to fish them, peruse these records. For example, Bob Daly of Indiana has con- sistently picked a prime time to target coho salmon in Alaska, bagging the two biggest this year as well as the larg- est one in 2011, all from the Cinder River. Anglers landed three pike of 50 inches or more, fish of a lifetime: one from Alaska, one from famous Reindeer Lake and one from Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area. And speaking of massive toothies, consider Ryan Marjama’s 58½-inch muskie from Leech Lake, Minnesota, caught on a sucker rig! For the scoop on this deadly pre- sentation, check the new In-Fisherman Pike & Muskie Guide on news stands or available on our website. On a smaller scale, give props for Arthur Huttemeyer Sr.'s 31-inch pickerel from Lake Hopatcong in New Jersey.

  • Floating Bait Rig for Catching Trout the Best Method for Catching Trout Here Is Known As the Floating Bait Rig
    Floating Bait Rig for Catching Trout The best method for catching trout here is known as the Floating Bait Rig. We recommend this setup. The sliding sinker allows the trout to pick up the bait and not feel the weight, which might make the fish spit out the hook. The size of the weight depends on the time of year. In winter, use lighter weights because the trout are closer to shore (warmer water). In summer, use the ½ oz. weight because the fish are out in deeper (cooler) water. 4 lb. line 2 - 4 lb. line 1/8 to 1/2 #12 or 14 snap swivel #14 to 18 oz. sliding treble hook sinker The most important part of this setup is the length of leader. During winter, the length should be 2 ft. In spring and summer, the length should be 3 ft. and in summer, it should be 4 to 5 ft. Changing conditions make it important for the bait to float where the fish are. The best way is to ask the Ranger what length is best. More fish are caught on nightcrawlers than any other bait here at the lake. Use ½ of a nightcrawler and wrap the cut end around a size 16 bronze treble hook. Gently blow up the loose end with a worm blower. Put worm in water to be sure that you have put in enough air so that it floats. The other option is to put the worm on 2 of the 3 hooks and put a plain white marshmallow on the 3rd hook.
