We’re very happy to announce the addition of Mike “Hooked on Fishing” Smith to the In-Depthangling.com Team of Field Staff Reporters. Mike owns the Hooked on Fishing Tackle shop in Rochester, MN and runs the areas most complete bait shop which includes live bait, a great selection of fishing tackle, rods (he makes more custom St. Croixs than anyone I know) as well as offering a very inexpensive and comprehensive reel repair service.
A bit more about Mike “Hooked On Fishing” Smith, in his own words… “I am the owner of Hooked On Fishing Bait & Tackle in Rochester. We advertise ourselves as the place to get information, and this (working with In-Depth) would be a natural extension. I have fished this area for over 40 years, and actually catch fish most of the time. 
I enjoy a variety of fish and fishing methods, and am comfortable fishing in lakes, rivers and streams.
Mike will be moderating the new Rochester Area Forum here as well as regularly contributing to the Mississippi River / Lake Pepin talk we enjoy now on In-Depth. Should you want to contact Mike directly, he can be reached at:
[email protected] or you can browse directly to his website at: http://www.hookedonfishingtackle.com
Welcome Mike! We all look forward to your contributions here!
