Are We Overdoing Catch And Release? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Are We Overdoing Catch And Release? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "The art of catch and release could be on the verge of be coming the next big concern of fishery managers and biologists. It's actually already been under scrutiny for some time because keep-and-eat is what's supposedly missing from "workable" slot limits. Fisheries biologists claim that the only way slot limits really work for any lake is for small fish, those under the slot, to be retained in larger numbers than what is currently in style with bass fishing society (which is practically none)."

Flippin' Deep Grass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "To be a good tournament angler, you must be versatile. You have to be able to go from one lake to another and be able to catch fish in all conditions and types of cover. One of the most abundant types of cover is weeds (or grass). Grass can be found all over the country in most of the lakes we fish. Although grass will hold fish all season long, the best time to fish deep grass is right during the warmest months of the year. June through August, this can be a dynamite way of catching big summer bass."

Swimbaits | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "That's right! They're not just for spawning fish anymore. Lakes like Don Pedro in the Sierra Foothills have an abundance of big bass that have discovered the benefits of eating trout. For a big bass, she can do quite well eating just one trout per week. Using this knowledge, a serious trophy hunter can take advantage of their eating habits. You won't catch large numbers of fish, but the ones you do hook will wear your arms out and test your equipment."

Clear Water Lure Colour & Trolling Patterns Condensed | Walleye Fishing

Clear Water Lure Colour & Trolling Patterns Condensed | Walleye Fishing: "I think fish in clear water, walleye especially, get misunderstood in late summer. My experience is that these fish are highly mobile, used to hunting over greater distances (vertically as well as horizontally) and usually way more aggressive than we realize. In bright sun, force walleye into moving for your baits. Bump up the speeds, run them higher in the water and kick up the visual ruckus your baits make with the flash of metallic finishes or the brightness of fluorescents"

There are paddle tails, gator tails, slim-line curled tails, and even some with no tails. Some of these baits have scent added to the plastic mixture such as salt, garlic, and anise. Whether you use the Berkley Power Baits, dip your own plastics in Spike-It garlic dye, or spray scent on your baits, I believe scented plastic baits catch more fish than unscented."

Many anglers that I see on the water are using Texas rigged plastics, top water baits and spinners so as not to pull weeds on every cast."
