    Swan hunters

    I hunted them for a few years. I bought a set of swan decoys from tanglefree. They respond to calling really well, just try and mimic them with your own voice. It feels ridiculous doing it but it always worked for me.

    Paddlefishing.

    I use 40-50# mono. Lots of guys use braid and say it helps get better hook up and get your gear back when snagged on logs and stuff but I like mono so I can break it on snags.

    Boundary waters canoe/camping

    Did it a few years back and my advice would be to hit some of the smaller lakes. The perch, bass, northern, and musky fishing is incredible in those small places.

    Salmon fishing

    Hey guys, new to this forum and new to salmon fishing here in ND. So I figured I'd see what everyone has to say as Im pretty green to this type of fishing. This past spring I picked up a pair of downriggers and will be making a pair of rods for them. I also have a set of trolling rods that I was...
