First… Jerry, Susan, Jacque and myself thank you for all the help you’ve generously given us in the past! Both us and the kids really appreciate it! Being able to receive a small prize, even if they didn’t catch a fish, means so much to the kids!

Fishing Outlook for March 2008 by Region

Panhandle

Anglers may be able to continue ice fishing through a good part of March. There was 16-20 inches of ice on the reservoirs.

Ice fishermen probably will continue catching northern pike and bluegill along the beds of vegetation at Box Butte Reservoir State Recreation Area (SRA) near Hemingford. Then, at ice-out, probably in late March, they should start catching northern pike.

In the Panhandle, fish Box Butte Reservoir for bluegill, using tip-ups with wax\ worm teardrops, and northern pike. Smith Lake Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is a good spot for bluegill, largemouth bass, and northern pike. Fish for rainbow trout, largemouth bass and crappie at Fort Robinson State Park's (SP) Carter P. Johnson Lake.

Hunting and Trapping

Big game seasons are closed, but sportsmen still have winter hunting opportunities in Nebraska. Squirrel, pheasant, quail and partridge seasons ended Jan. 31, but cottontail and jackrabbit seasons are open through Feb. 29.

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I have the opportunity to present the inaugural issue of MARLIN WORLD.

The idea for Outdoorsman Exchange came about in an instant, but in a way it was sometime in the making – we just didn’t realize it at the time.

For years my husband, Paul, has wanted to go on an elk hunt. I’ve encouraged him many times. He and his brothers talk how they should all go elk hunting out west with their Dad before age took its toll on him. Pursuit of that dream sounded good but there was always the financial reality check that held my husband back. He couldn’t justify spending money on a guided hunting trip and felt a guided trip was the only way to go for a successful hunt. This voice inside kept telling him - we need to save money for more sensible things like kids braces, college funds, etc. Most everyone can relate to these thoughts, unless you’re an heir to a fortune.
