Open-water spring fishing will be hitting all of us soon and for some, ice fishing is still running hard.  The February edition of ODU Magazine touches on both sides.  Redfish action to all types of bass fishing are covered.  As for those anglers into late ice, bluegill and walleye fishing tips are here as well.

Are you looking into a new boat this year?  We start off with a “WHY” to “BUY” new boat article in this edition, followed in March with a very comprehensive boat buyers section to look forward to.  Bass boats, Jon’s, Fish-n-Ski’s, and more will be included.  ODU has been hard at work reviewing the new boats for this year and we have picked out the top boats any of our staff would be very happy in having in their “Boat House”.
