Guiding You In Your Quest For More And Bigger Fish
Lately, there has been a great deal of interest in a new form of fly fishing called Tenkara. By new of course, I mean it’s actually very old and the fly fishing mainstream is just starting to catch on.
Let’s take a look at this type of fishing, and see if we can’t discover a new facet of this fantastic sport. [Read more…]
Today will be our last installment on reading the water. If you haven’t already, be sure to read How To Read A River Part I and Part II.
This article is not so much about teaching, but more about providing additional resources that will be helpful to you. My first two articles laid down the foundation, but reading a trout stream is something you never truly master. [Read more…]
I had the itch so bad the other night to go fishing that I went to this small, private facility that is very close to the house to see what the bass were doing and, of course, to test some new lures.
The problem is that this park stocks catfish during the summer and holds derbies that allow the anglers to fish all night. What that translates to is people lighting fires, lining up rods on shore for yards at a time and throwing all manner of stinky things into the water trying to catch kitty cats. [Read more…]
Kevin VanDam and I have something in common—we are both bass fishing crankbait monsters!
Ok, ok, maybe I’m not quite the crankbait fisherman KVD is, but it is still one of my favorite ways to go after bass. Recently, I picked up a few Spro Fat John shallow running crankbaits to test out and review. [Read more…]
It may seem like we’ve gone a little frog crazy over here lately, but that’s just because it’s a great time of year to catch some serious bass on frogs. Lily pads, bulrushes, submerged trees and large weed and grass beds are all fantastic places to find big bass during the late spring. [Read more…]
Well gang, here it is mid May and one of the lure categories I look forward to using most is the venerable hollow body frog. There are a few new offerings in this category for 2011 and we’re going to take a look at one of them tonight. The Koppers Live Target Hollow Body Frog. [Read more…]
The lower portion of the Chattahoochee River is hot right now. I had the opportunity to fish it recently, and got some really good information to pass on. [Read more…]
Spinnerbaits have so many applications in bass fishing. One of my favorite is to use a spinnerbait to help me locate where the fish are in the water column.
That is exactly what I intended recently when I took the Strike King Tour Grade Spinnerbait out to Lake Lanier for some testing. [Read more…]
It’s almost summer around here although we are experiencing another cold front and some unseasonably high rain totals, I had to look at another lure category that is just plain fun to fish, the buzz-bait.
I picked up some Cavitron buzzers and have now had them for over a year and have caught fish on them. So let’s get down to business and take a closer look at them. [Read more…]
In honor of our new rating system, tonight I am going to take a look at a fishing line that came highly recommended to me which I decided to give a try. I picked up Izorline XXX Super Co-Polymer in two different pound classes. The first was 4 pound which I spooled on a couple of my Pflueger Presidents for this past trout season. The second was 8 pound that landed on a couple of bait-casters which I use all year long, even in the depth of winter, for bass fishing. [Read more…]
