Bass Fishing In The Lilypads
April 29, 2011 by ·
I had the opportunity to get out and do some bass fishing on the 22nd this month and couldn’t wait. It’s been an unusually cool spring with very short periods of heat.

Spinnerbait Tactics For Dirty Water
April 12, 2011 by ·
Spring time bass fishing is one of those very strange times. Sure, the spawn brings with it promises of big bass in a very surly mood, ready to strike to protect their nests.
But spring time—especially early spring—can also be a challenge, due to the unpredictability of the weather. One day, you have clear skies and 75 degrees, the next day could bring thunder showers and a dirty lake along with them. [Read more…]
