Making your bass dance a jig! - Columbia Fishing | Examiner.com

Making your bass dance a jig! - Columbia Fishing | Examiner.com: "No, you do not need to be Irish to get big bass to dance jigs on your line. On a hot, summer day fishing slow is the way to go! When it begins to heat up and ponds lose water, then the big largemouth bass will head for deeper water. It is cooler there and they spend the majority of the year close to those depths anyway, so why not fish there?"

Small Ponds For Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Small Ponds For Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "I grew up in a time and place where the option for fishing for bass was limited primarily to smaller private ponds or lakes. The larger lakes in East Texas usually consisted of some oxbows off of the Red River or one of its tributaries. Other options were the water supply bodies built to serve local communities which were at best a couple of hundred acres, smaller farm ponds, or a trek to Caddo lake. The latter was always a special treat just for the scenery."

Summer Fishing Hot Spots | Outdoor Life

Summer Fishing Hot Spots | Outdoor Life: "In New Hampshire, all bass must be released from May 15 through June 15, a good rule since that’s the peak of smallmouth bedding activity. But catch-and-release fishing during those four weeks is lawful, and for dedicated bass anglers there are few places on the planet better than central New Hampshire's 45,000-acre Lake Winnipesaukee when love-sick spawning bass move onto gravel-bottom bars, coves and flats."

Outdoor News at Poorfish.com: Baiting the Big Perch

Outdoor News at Poorfish.com: Baiting the Big Perch: "Yellow perch has long been a fish that has not been overly sought out by anglers. They are known to be a very tasty fish but extremely difficult to catch and clean. While there are some other species of perch that are more forgiving to the angler, they are not the ones that normally end up on the end of the fishing line, but with some advancements in tackle and technique the larger yellow perch are much more attainable than ever before. You may be asking yourself how is this going to happen? Quite simply…time, practice, and strategy."

How to Throw a Cast Net

How to Throw a Cast Net: "A cast net is used as a mechanism for fishing in shallow waters. This fishing gear is an age old mechanism that has been used in several cultures of the world for many years. As is apparent from the word 'net', this technique is used to catch and trap fish with the usage of a net. Yet it's something that works best in shallow waters and for a small scale fishing expedition rather than for commercial purposes."

How to fish that little backyard (or Park) pond

How to fish that little backyard (or Park) pond: "Nearly every angler has cut his or her teeth on a little body of water near where they grew up. For some of us it was a neighborhood pond or a neighbor's farm pond, while for the more urban set it was a City park pond festooned with bread-frenzied ducks. For some it was a small creek or canal but many of the tactics presented here will apply. For the youngster, these waters hold mysterious monster fish as big as cars, though it only seems like what we caught could probably fit in a grown-up's pocket. Little did you know that large fish often can and do lurk in these little bodies of water, and even if you don't hook the pond beast, excellent fishing can be had in the little puddle sized ponds of our youth!"

The ups and downs of structure fishing | Bassmaster

The ups and downs of structure fishing | Bassmaster: "I love structure fishing and have been doing it most of my fishing life. One might say I am a structure fishing junkie. Offshore fishing is as comfortable for me as flipping a dock or slow rolling a spinnerbait down a blowdown. Most anglers actually try to avoid true structure fishing or only spend a short time experimenting with it until their patience wanes and they go back to the bank."
