Best Fishing Blogs to Follow This Year

Make no mistake, the world has shifted from the onset of the coronavirus. People are finding themselves with more downtime than ever before. We can view this as a time of scarcity, fear and uncertainty, or we can view this as a time to develop our skills and refine our values.

Many people and businesses are taking to online platforms to offer a wealth of knowledge for free! Of these, there are many who focus on the topic of fishing. While we are isolated, we can use these resources to gain more insight into how to become a better fisherman. Then, when restrictions lift and life resumes, we can all come out with refined skills; ready to finally catch the big one! Take a look at the few we've come across and feel free to tell us about ones you know of and enjoy.

On Wisconsin Outdoors Blog

Not only do these guys provide a wealth of knowledge, they're also fellow Wisconsin fishermen. On discussing a tool used to prevent killing fish during catch & release, they had this to say, "When panfishing, Gill Shield allows you the freedom to fish multiple lines at the same time. Having a bobber go down while you’re busy reeling in a different line is no longer a problem - Gill Shield will prevent panfish from swallowing the hook, ensuring a clean hook up." (source)
