As I write this, there’s a winter storm warning in the north half of our state and tornado watches in the south half. In Iowa, we know the weather can change within minutes. However, we also know spring is officially here, so we just have to “weather” through the craziness sometimes.
If it’s not snowing or raining, then many of us are outside doing spring clean up and getting ready for gardens and the birds who “flew the coop” for the winter.
Here are some things you can be doing now to get ready:
We took our finch feeders down over the winter, but already have them back out. Check the finch feeders for cracks and missing pegs. If it leaks too much thistle, then it’s probably time to get a new feeder. One of the easiest and most popular finch feeders we use is the simple thistle sock. For some reason, the finches really prefer to eat off of it. But you have to make sure it doesn’t get too nasty from rain.
Hummingbird feeders traditionally are put out by May 1. Our feeder is in a different flower garden surrounded by red potted flowers and mandevilla, which they adore. We also have loads of zinnias which we plant in both gardens for the bees and the butterflies.
We now have a hawk who hangs around our backyard, so we will see what this year brings. Hopefully, more wrens, hummingbirds, and butterflies!

If you haven’t had the chance to read Part 1 of Crappie from the Shore, check it out: Crappie - From the Shore
I have been crappie fishing for a few years now in Missouri and thought I would share the different styles of bobbers and floats that I have had success with fishing from shore. The uses of bobbers, corks, or floats tend to be the easiest technique when fishing from the shore for crappie.
Two float styles include slip and fixed. Slip Float fishing allows the float to slip up and down the line, then pegged to a fixed depth with a bobber stopper, also allowing the float to bottom out at the bait resulting in longer casts. Once the float hits the water, the bait will then pull the line through the float and with a few twitches of the rod tip, this action will simulate vertical jigging that will attract fish. This rig is perfect for fishing with Bass Pro Shops Squimin’ Squirts, Bobby Garland Baby Shad or Swim’R, or a Lunker City Fin-S Shad. With a fixed float, or spring type, the bait distance from the float does not change. This is a good set up for using Crappie Maxx Paddletail Minnows, Bass Pro Shops Squirmin Grub or Triple Ripple, or a Blakemore Roadrunner where a slow steady retrieve will allow the natural action of the plastic. My favorite fixed float is the Mr. Crappie Rattlin Pear by Betts. Whichever type of float style you tend to use, any style of soft plastic can produce great results.
With all of the proper equipment, styles of baits and techniques, the search for evasive slab can be the most aggravating fish to find, or it can be literally like fishing In-A-Bucket where you just can’t keep them off your hook. Good Luck and wishing you all Tight-Lines!!!

We hope to see you in this upcoming weekend! We always strive to have fun family friendly activities in our store!
Spending time at the range is part a big part of our family weekend plans, so guess what needs to be done once all the shooting is over and the last piece of brass has hit the floor. Cleaning up all those weapons generally falls on my shoulders and even though my wife will take care of her own, I get the rest. An AR, two pistols, and one revolver can take a bit of time and a good amount of cleaning materials but it has to be done if we want the guns to perform every time we pull the trigger.
Being a little obsessive compulsive can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to cleaning guns but everyone reaches a point during the job when they have to say enough is enough. My father kept his hunting guns spotless when they were put away in the cabinet and I’ve tried to live up to his expectations after all these years. Even today, all of our guns get a thorough cleaning ever time they hit the range or the field and get a complete wipe down after being handled.
Watch any military film that includes scenes from Marine Corps or Army boot camp and you’ll surely see drill instructors reinforcing (in not so friendly terms) the need for keeping the recruit’s weapon spotless, and it’s not just idle talk intended to degrade a young person’s family lineage. It could ultimately be a matter of life and death for that young soldier or Marine during a time of intense battle because dirty weapons are more prone to failure than those that have been faithfully maintained. It’s no less important for those of us that carry on a daily basis for personal protection or folks that have firearms for home protection. Here are a couple more reasons for keeping your favorite firearm clean:
So, as you can see, there are multiple reasons why you should include a cleaning kit, solvent, lubricants, and rags to your range bag or bugout bag along with your favorite firearm. Every gun manufacturer has it’s own “Best Practices” and you should follow them to the greatest extent possible but you’ll soon find out that they’re all about the same. A clean gun will function properly for many years to come and you shouldn’t have to worry about preventable malfunctions.
Get out there and shoot as much as possible and enjoy yourself. Just be sure to take care of your investment once you get home, and remember that a clean gun is a gun that will perform when you need it whether in a defensive situation or I the field.

Not only is it puppy dog heaven, but some really memorable moments happen here. This was our second year for the event and it was bigger and better this year. We are hoping to continue to grow this event and already have a waiting list of shelters and vendors who want to attend again next year. So this event we literally let the store go to the dogs. We start with “Free “ photos for you and your pet along with some great give-a-ways. Then to add to the fun, we offered educational live training, and grooming demos. To top it off with a nice finish we brought in puppies and older dogs in need of a forever homes.
On Friday nights we offered an informative seminar on how to choose the right dog breed for you and a brief history of some of the dog breeds out there. We had one customer who was having a hard time selecting the next new dog breed for his family, and after our seminar, he left with lots of ideas on breeds that might be the perfect fit for their home. This is a decision that should not be taken lightly. When you think about the fact you could have this family member for well over 15 years, getting the right companion for your family situation is not only important for your happiness, but very important for the dog as well. There are so many factors to consider, but most highly recommended are size, space, and lifestyle for you both. A very high energy dog with the need to run may not be the best fit for someone in a one bedroom apartment, who works 12 hours shifts. As well as a brachycephalic dog may not be the best choice for someone who wants a dog to run 5 miles a day with them. There are so many dog breeds out there now, that you can find one that is perfect for you lifestyle, space limitations, and companion desires. Most all dogs just want to be loved and a part of the family and getting the match perfect the first time can help avoid a dog ending up in a shelter, and hoping for the right family to come along a second time to adopt it.
On Saturdays, we focused on training and grooming for your dog. This is also is very important in keeping harmony in the house. With over 400 recognized dog breeds there are a lot of fur types and intelligence levels with dogs as well. We had Sit Means Sit Denver dog training in to help show you how to avoid and correct some of the most common of behavior issues. Dogs learn how to sit, run, walk, and jump along all of other body functions on their own. What we have to teach them is where and when it is acceptable to do these things. One thing I learned from their demonstration is how to teach your dog to “Place”. This is an amazing command to teach you dog to stay in any spot you command them to until you release them. This is a huge help when there are distractions that can cause over excitement. Another great tip was learning how to teach you dog to come, and then advancing that into heeling. I didn’t realize it is a dog’s natural instinct to chase and follow you. So the best way to start leash, come, and heel training is to turn and face your dog and walk backwards in front of him. They naturally want to follow you. So you get them to follow you facing backwards and slowly progress that into turning away from them and then getting them to walk next to you. It was a tip I have started using at home with my dogs to teach them to come to me and walk next to me on the leash, instead of walking out in front of me and pulling on the leash. For more tips check out http://ift.tt/1SalClh
So the Heartwarming portion of our event came in with our Fundraiser and Adoptions that we did. We had 3 shelters that joined us for over our two Saturdays. The first, Life Line Puppy Recuse, a no kill puppy shelter in Brighton Colorado that helps re home over 1200 homeless puppies a year. They brought 3 puppies both Saturdays and they all found homes. The also partner with local fire fighters to produce and distribute and Fire Recuse Dog Calendar every to raise funds for their shelter to stay in operation. https://youtu.be/y7o3QZLn90I
So they had live fire fighters on site from the calendar, signing the calendars they sold. One fire fighter even brought his now adult dog that was a feature in the 2015 calendar. It was an added bonus for us to help give an extra platform for theirs shelter and charity. For our families that already have dogs, they could still help the ones who are still searching for their forever home. The second, Aurora Animal Shelter, a local shelter operated by the City of Aurora Colorado, brought 4 dogs both Saturdays and waived the regular adoption fees for our event. 7 of the 8 dogs found forever homes with us. The last dog was transferred to another nearby shelter to find her forever home. The third shelter was My Fairy Dawg Mother shelter. They specialize in hunting breed dogs and use the generous help of volunteers to foster their dogs that are in need of adoption. They had several foster parents on site with their adoptable dogs, but with everyone walking around with dogs, were not sure our customers realized their dogs were up for adoption. We not know this is something for us to improve on next year. But all these adoptable dogs lead me to our Grand finale heartwarming moment.
We love to help these dogs find forever homes and we reach out in all ways to get the word out. So here is Reeve’s Story, told by one of our amazing customers: “This past week I have spent some extra time looking for a dog and every time I call about a dog they have already been adopted. I am always a day late! Today I had a call from my girlfriend, that Bass Pro was sponsoring an adoption event. Aurora Animal Shelter had a 6 month male chocolate lab, male is not my preference but I went to look. He was already big and I was going over all of the paper work with the Aurora Animal Shelter when a young man in an Army Reserve uniform walked up. He was there to adopt the same dog. I started asking a few questions and he told me that he had already been to the animal shelter several times and was told if he wanted to adopt this dog he would have to go to Bass Pro. I also found out that this cute puppy would be trained as a service dog. That is all that I needed to hear. I ask the young man if he wanted the dog and he said yes. I turned to the lady with the animal shelter and told her that I want the young man to have the lab. I explained to him that my brother, Rodger, had been a Warrant Office in the Army and that my husband, Steve, was a Intelligence Analyst in the Army. I explained to him that both men were deceased and I was going to name the lab Reeve after Rodger and Steve. I ask him if he had a name picked out and he said no. As I walked away with tears in my eyes he had agreed to name his new chocolate lab, Reeve. I cried all the way home and the tears are still flowing. Rodger and Steve are both smiling down on my and when the time is right I will find just the lab for me.” This was a huge moment for all of us. We loved the generosity of this customer and the fact this dog was going to a bigger purpose. “Reeve” will forever be a special dog for our store.
So when we think Bass Pro Dog Days, it is an amazing opportunity to bring our love of dogs to everyone. We enjoy the fact we can help customers learn more about dogs, find the homeless dog a forever home and wrap it up with a Free photo for the customer to take home a remember the experience. This is the one time of the year we love that the store “Goes to the Dogs” and can’t wait for next years event. Remember to like us on Facebook, Dog Days Family Event so you get all the details on next years event.
We’re quickly approaching grill season, as the weather continues to warm up we know that many of our customers are excited to go out and light their grills for the first time this season. For those who may be new to grilling or curious on what’s out there grills can be relatively confusing. Here at your local Bass Pro Shops we have your back and today were going to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of charcoal vs. propane grills.
The first thing we are going to discuss is charcoal grills. Charcoal grills are the original. They infuse a deep smoky grilled flavor into all the food they cook thanks to the natural charcoal fire. This is the true benefit of charcoal smokers. Every time you get delicious grilled food. The downside is that charcoal can get expensive if you grill frequently. They take a while to get to temperature and can be pretty messy. .These are things that tried and true charcoal lovers will overlook in their shopping process partially because Charcoal grills tend to be cheaper than their propane counterparts and is something people can have preference for
Propane grills on the other hand can light instantly and be at cooking temperature in a couple minutes. They tend to be more versatile with extra side burners where you can cook a side dish or even fry. They tend to be a bit more expensive. But they make up for the cost in flexibility and efficiency. Some people argue that because the burning of propane that the grilled food does not get the same flavor. This is something that is purely up to the taste of the individual but steps can be taken to minimize this such as buying a propane wood chip box to help infuse a smoky flavor into the meat or simply adding a rub.
Today, companies are making combination grills that combine both space for a charcoal fire and a propane grill. This allows ultimate versatility. Come down to your local Bass Pro Shops camping department where we have examples of each of these types of grills. Any of our friendly associates would be happy to pair you with the perfect grill for you this grilling season.

Fishing in Florida can be quite a challenge regardless of how many fish we say inhabit the waters surrounding the state. Everyone knows they don’t have to eat on anyone’s schedule other than their own so catching them may not be as simple as finding them.
One challenge I never quite took into account when moving down here was identifying the shear variety of fish in both fresh and saltwater. There are dozens of species to catch with regularity and hundreds of others you just might luck into at one point or another, and just about every one of them has teeth or stickers that will bite, jab, or otherwise harm you if you don’t know how to handle it. But besides knowing which ones can do you harm, identifying which ones to keep for food purposes can be equally as difficult.
I erroneously identified the fish to the right as a Striped Bass whereas more properly it is a Hybrid Striper or Sunshine Bass (man-engineered Striper/White Bass cross). A good friend of mine and fish authority corrected my error and gave me a few other tips on how to better identify the difference. Thankfully, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission knows that it would be a common mistake and therefore sets the size and bag limits accordingly. And that’s the whole point of this article. We need to know what kind of fish we’re catching so that we know and can apply the fishing regulations accordingly. Not doing so can adversely affect the fish population and possibly your pocket when you get caught.
I once caught a legal size Spanish Mackerel while fishing the beach in Marco Island, which I offered to a couple fishermen I’d seen rigging for sharks on the evening tide. They graciously accepted the fish but were puzzled by its appearance. “We caught a Spanish yesterday and used it for bait, but it didn’t look like this. Ours was kind of silvery, had lots of spots, a yellow mouth and a couple nasty fangs on the top and bottom jaw." These gentlemen had caught, mistakenly identified, and then used for bait, a Spotted Seatrout which has a different size and possession limit than the Spanish I gave them. We talked about their mistake and I suggested that they take a look at the book on Florida Saltwater Fish Species before using anything else for bait.
But it isn’t just the saltwater fish we need to worry about. The fresh are just as difficult with the original native species and then all the exotics that have invaded the waters over the years. It can be a real trick if you don’t do a little studying before hitting the water. There are more than a half dozen fish grouped into the "Panfish” family alone, and numerous subspecies of bass to worry about depending on your location.
All fishermen need to learn their species before hitting the water in order to avoid hefty fines as well as potential injury. Pinfish earned their name for a reason and knowing the difference between a bluefish and mullet can save a bunch of stitches. Being able to identify a mutton snapper and a red snapper will help to avoid large hits to your pocket. Easiest rule of thumb for me has been “If you can’t positively identify it, leave it alone and definitely don’t keep it.”
