Topwater fishing lures have evolved from being made of wood to high tech plastic. These hard plastic injection molding machine shape, mold, and produce thousands of them; however, no matter what process they go through they never have the same action as topwater lure made of wood. Of course there are still a few wooden lure craftsmen that make custom built wooden lures who can supply you with one, but wouldn’t you rather make one yourself? How exciting would that be to make and catch a fish on a wooden topwater lure that you built yourself, but before you grab a piece of wood and start carving on it you had better get some information on how to build one. Make Your Own Wooden Top Water Lures by Kermett Adams explains the whole process of building your own wooden topwater lure and the materials needed to do it.

A strange fever often afflicts anglers living around Lake St. Clair. In some situations a single fishing trip can subdue the fever, but often the only real cure is trolling giant lures from ice out to when the ice covers the lake again in the winter. Not only does Lake St. Clair have lots of walleye and smallmouth, but giant musky. In the DVD Lake St. Clair Musky!, fishing educator Lance Valentine goes to Lake St. Clair to unlock the secret to  catching big musky. In the DVD, Valentine is joined by Lake St. Clair musky fishing guide Captain Mark Kornosky. Together, they explain how and where to catch giant musky.

Anglers by nature are truly great procrastinators. They can patiently wait all day for their strike indicator or bobber to go under or cast a thousand casts for a trophy muskie. Some can even wait all winter for the ice to melt to go fishing. Being patient has its rewards, but waiting too long can also cause problems. Anglers that delay having their reels cleaned or repaired can end up with a costly repair bill. Reel cleaning or repair can be done by the angler themselves or they can be sent into tackle repair stores. While reel repair does require a minimum amount of skill and knowledge any angler can learn to clean or service their reels. Unfortunately, reel manufactures don’t include instructions to reel maintenance and cleaning with their reels. So anglers have to learn how from friends or less than educational YouTube videos that often leave out vital steps needed to completely clean their reels. The results of doing it yourself without instructions are a baggie full of parts and a reel sent to a tackle repair store. Before you find yourself in this frustrating situation watch the DVD Fishing Reel Maintenance 2 Revised and Updated by Lake Fork Tackle Repair. It explains how to clean and maintain your own fishing reels without sending them off.

Fish where there are catchable fish! Seems easy enough right? Well-known walleye guide, fishing educator and marine electronics expert Lance Valentine makes that statement over and over again anytime he’s talking to anglers about how to catch walleyes. In the Sonar/GPS Workshop two DVD set, Valentine takes an angler through the basics to reading and programming your sonar unit then into how to get the most out of your GPS unit.
