Welcome to our first posting of our “Weekly Fishing News” to help anglers keep up with what’s going on in the fishing world lately.
- It’s December, so it’s about that time to talk about ice fishing in the northern part of the country. Be careful out there and check your local newspapers, state DNR reports and any other source of information that can help you make good decisions on the ice this winter. Better safe than sorry.
- FLW recently announced some of its tournament schedules for next year. 2009 Walmart Bass Fishing League entry dates set | 2009 Stren Series entry dates set | Walmart FLW Walleye League schedule announced for 2009
- As it gets cold up in the north, anglers from Florida still get to enjoy some excellent fishing and on some days, they don’t have to wear coats. Plenty of options for winter fishing - http://www.bradenton.com/sports/outdoors/story/1057915.html
