Spring fishing tip: Head to a local river or stream to catch some carp and suckers

By JPT Head Coach Jason Revermann

Finding areas to catch carp and suckers usually isn’t too difficult. Usually when most of the snow has melted and rivers are flowing full, we can find carp and suckers along current seams before outside turns in the river or other current seams along irregularities in the river bank like bays or trees. Carp spawn in flooded muddy bays on river systems and will hang along the current seams just outside these areas until that water warms. Suckers tend to spawn in gravel or sandy areas with less current.

When you're turkey hunting, the proper use of decoys can make a big difference in the outcome of your hunt.
JPT Head Coach Jason Revermann said he's had times where he used decoys and a tom came running right in and  other times where they get to the point where they can see the decoy and hangup at a distance waiting for the hen to come to them. There is no foolproof decoy setup but the most common set of decoys seems to be a hen and a jake. This will often get a mature gobbler to come in with the intent to scare off the jake thus bringing the tom into range for a shot.
But here's an interesting thought when you don't have decoys, or if you are hunting under thicker cover.
Rely on your calls instead. The gobbler will hear your calls, but can’t see the hen and he keeps coming in to find her.
YOU NEED TO BE SMART THOUGH.....Deciding how much or how little to call can only be learned through experience and is a critical consideration during the early season. Toms are sorting out their pecking order during the pre-breeding period, so aggressive calling can work well, but don’t overdo it. Many hunters have a tendency to keep hammering away, especially when turkeys aren’t gobbling, but stop and realize that isn’t always what turkeys want to hear. There’s a reason the birds aren’t making a racket, so why are you?
