Minnesota Fishing Guide Service’s Spring Fishing Tips

Fishing tips from Capt. Josh

Clean up your act and catch more fish!

Wash your hands! Wash your hands! Little did you know as a kid, your mom was giving you a huge fishing tip! Deer and fish. Both dumb as a stump, but both have a nose and a thing called natural instincts. I lean on the side of caution when I’m fishing.

Transferring foreign scents to the bait from your hands is not a good thing. I have a bottle of no-scent soap in the boat and tow vehicle. I make it a point to wash my hands, truck steering wheel, boat tiller handle and shifter handles on a regular basis. And yes, the cell phone too! Gasoline, oil, donuts, bacon, Doritos (yum), and gas station pizza do not go well with a new crankbait or jig/minnow combo.

Clean up your act! Catch more fish!

Lotsa Fish! Lotsa Fun! Minnesota Fishing Guide Service, Capt. Josh Hagemeister
