  • Top Water All Day
    • Ask any fisherman or woman the most entertaining method of catching bass and chances are they will respond with " the top water bite". From my own personal experience, I can tell you that I laughed so much with the excitement, that my partner thought I was going to have a heart attack...
  • Worm Fishing: The Basics
    • Like most methods of fishing, some require additional skills like " reading the line". Others require us to use our "sixth sense" to detect those soft or delicate bites from bass. Well welcome to the world of worm fishing, because this is a combination of everything I just mentioned and more! NOTE: -When I use the word worm, I am also referring to other soft plastic shapes and creatures, which can be fished by these...
  • "Going Mental"
    • Over the years I have read a lot about where to fish and what to use, there are many talented Bass anglers that can give advice about a multitude of subjects.  We all owe thanks to fellow members , magazines, television shows and various instructional videos.  We all posses the best equipment money can buy,  sensitive rods and line, smooth reels, hypodermic needle sharp hooks, fast and quiet boats, sonar...
  • Slump
    • One of the biggest lures of bass fishing is the competitive nature of the sport.  At any level, its competing against the fish on an afternoon out, your buddy on a Saturday morning or in the structured setting of a professional tournament, its competition in a pure form.  This fact causes us to occasionally encounter the malady that every competitor, in every sport has to face  “The Slump." ...
  • Is Bigger Always Better
    • I'm pretty much willing to bet that nearly every angler reading this article, at one point or another, has heard the cliché "Bigger baits catch bigger fish".  But does this hold true in every situation? As a Long Island angler, I seriously doubt it! Time to face facts, bigger isn't always better.  So with that in mind, we ask ourselves, what are we left with? Answer; finesse!  Finesse, a word that many longtime...
  • Drop Shotting
    • Technique is called “Drop Shotting” and to put it simply, it allows you to suspended your lure while maintaining contact with the bottom. It’s rigged with the lure tied above the weight. This allows you to “shake” or “twinkle” your lure while keeping it in the strike zone. It can be extremely effective at times. Most of the people I have fished with prefer drop shotting with a glass bead/brass weight...
  • "To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before"
    • About 6 years ago, I decided to take a trip down to Florida because I wanted to catch a 10 lb. Bass. After calling several different guide services, I came across Hugh Crumpler’s guide service. One of the first things he said was “I hope you don’t mind getting hung up on branches”. He then went on to explain all about Stick Marsh (Farm 13). Stick Marsh was an old orange grove with canals running through...
  • Full Contact Fishing !
    • Full contact fishing you ask? Could this be a new form of “extreme fishing requiring pads and a crash helmet? In a word, no.  However, for many it may be a style of fishing that is very unfamiliar, and in some cases may even seem foolish. The basis of full contact fishing lies in the fact that instead of fishing in and around cover and structure…you fish on it. For all intents and purposes the cover becomes part of the...
  • Shallow & Slow
    • There are times when I want to specialize my spinnerbait presentation in a way that isn't very popular. I like to go shallow and slow. The way I see it, a bass sees dozens of spinnerbaits fly by his face, "ticking the tops of the weeds", looking for the reaction strike in the course of his life. I want my bait to crawl by making a lot of noise to show him something different. I take a light bait on a big frame, preferably a...
  • Deer Hunting & Bass Fishing
    • You may look at this and say, “This guy is crazy!” Think about this for a moment. We hunt and become the predator. We set up to ambush the deer as they go through their daily routines. We set up on food plots, bedding areas, travel routs—are we not doing the same things when we go bass fishing? How many people buy...
  • A Little Help From Your Friend
    • If you have had trouble catching fish lately, have not been fishing in a long while, or have never been fishing, I have some sound advice for you…..call a guide. Recently, I have been struggling in my quest to catch the ever elusive, black bass, on our local fish haven, Richland-Chambers Reservoir. Rather than sell my boat and all my gear out of frustration...
  • Hot Water Bassin'
    • I recall my first experience fishing a power plant lake. I was fifteen years old when a friend of mine, Wayne Brown of Corsicana, Texas, took me to Fairfield Lake. We catfished and ran trotlines together for years, as well as, deer hunted and coon hunted together. In fact, in many ways, Wayne raised me and taught me to love and appreciate the outdoors. We always caught a lot of fish and had a great time at Fairfield Lake...
  • In The Heat Of The Night
    • Anyone that lives south of the Red River knows that "hot" does little to describe the horrific heat we have been experiencing lately. With temperatures surpassing the 100-degree mark for several consecutive days, most folks don’t think about hours on the water as being much fun. In fact, this is the time of year I turn to fishing in the dark, night fishing. Most importantly to me...
  • Night Fishing
    • Five years ago in March, I was blessed with the birth of my little fishing buddy, Tatum. In an attempt to spend as much time with Tatum as possible, I cut way back on my fishing, opting instead to stay home with her. Although it was a sacrifice I will never regret, I did miss my fishing. A fishing partner of mine had a son the same year. He too, choose to stay home with his child. One day, we were talking about how we missed going fishing. As the discussion continued, we explored the idea of going fishing at night, after the little ones had gone down for the evening...
