I arrived in Georgia Monday, November 1, at about 6:30 in the morning knowing that “The Kid” and I had nothing to do that day but make sure everything was arranged for the next four days of fishing. The day turned out to be drop dead gorgeous, warm with a slight breeze, the leaves on the trees turning colors, a promising start to the next few days fishing. [Read more…]

Getting The Tackle Box Right: The KVD Elite Guide Series
October 23, 2010 by ·
We talk quite a bit about tackle and different lures that may or may not work on any given day but for this post I would like to talk about that piece of equipment that doesn’t get a lot of fanfare but to me is one of the essential tools for anglers that can make a fishing trip either more or less enjoyable depending on what one is carrying.

October 19, 2010 by ·
Here it is, the first week of October in good ole So-Cal, which has the potential to be one of the best bass fishing times. I went fishing the other night expecting to find some changes in the lake and did indeed. What I found was that the vegetation has been receding somewhat although, due to the fact that it is still hot during the days, not as much as would have thought. [Read more…]

Lessons Kids Learn While Fishing
October 1, 2010 by ·
It occurred to me the other day while inviting a friend to go fishing with me that every time I talk about fishing, I also end up talking about one or more of my children. That is because I usually have one or more of my children with me when I go. [Read more…]
Heddon One Knocker Spook Review
September 30, 2010 by ·
Today’s product review is all about top water bassin’. For the last couple of season’s nothing has come close in my view to matching the fish catching ability of the Reaction Innovations Barely Legal Vixen. I have caught countless fish on this lure and really didn’t think that anything could match it fish for fish.
However, on my last trip a new lure not only matched, but exceeded it both in terms of quantity and quality of fish. That lure is the new Heddon Spook One Knocker. [Read more…]

Today’s product review is on one of my favorite night time baits, the Strike King Shadilicious. I have reviewed the Sebile Magic Swimmer Soft Pro and do use it, however the Shadilicious while not a brand new bait as I have been using it for now three seasons, is still the swim-bait that I have the most confidence in.

Sebile Magic Swimmer Soft Pro Review
September 14, 2010 by ·
Today, we are going to take a look at the Sebile Magic Swimmer Soft Pro. I like to use soft plastic swimbaits around this time of year and have had good success with them. With that in mind and having seen the video of these particular baits, I couldn’t wait to get them. I chose the four inch version and got three different patterns. The bluegill, holo greenie and blue back herring, which to me very much resembles some of our local sunfish. [Read more…]
