I was hoping someone could help confirm if either of these lakes allow you to run a 9.9 motor above a no wake speed? I know the lakes are quite a bit difference in size but I am trying to pick a first time in a boat fishing trip for my boys. The main reason I want somewhere to run above no wake is this is my first time with a used motor I purchased. Also if anyone has other lake suggestions...

This is a good article from the Payson Roundup about getting your boat ready for fishing season. "With the great runoff into Roosevelt, lake levels are on the rise with new structure being added to the water that correlates to great fishing. If you are an angler and have a boat, it has probably been stored in a garage or under a boat cover for much of the last five months. Well, it’s time to...

How many freshwater anglers would flip a lid if the government tried to take away our rights to bring home fish? I know that this Hooked Az writer would drop his pole and pick up a gun in heartbeat if I was told fishing for food would be illegal. Since this is the case and it is our unhindered American right to fish and to bring it home for mounting or eating why then do so many fisherman...

I'm semi new to fishing, only a couple years under my belt and I mostly fish canyon lake or the salt river. I'm looking for a new spot to fish for better chances to catch and bigger size as well. I have been told about the black river but I don't know if its reservation or costs a fee. If any free spots are on the black river I'd like to know. And I know honey holes are kind of your own but if...

I am trying to find new places to fish. I recently have been going to Tempe Town Lake and fishing the north bank by the Light Rail Bridge. It seems to be very spotty, not to mention I hate that if you are fishing from the bank you are so high up. I am going to try and fish a couple of the urban lakes and see what I can find. I prefer to go after bass. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was...
