Braid or Fluorocarbon? Understanding Specialty Fishing Lines | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Braid or Fluorocarbon? Understanding Specialty Fishing Lines | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Choosing a fishing line isn't as easy as it used to be. Early in my career, there were two main choices - Berkley monofilament and Stren monofilament. Today there are dozens of options.
    Anglers now have multiple choices in line materials, performance characteristics and even color. It gets confusing for old-timers like me, so I can only imagine how it must be for anglers just getting started."

Spring Bass tips by Dan Wells

Spring Bass tips by Dan Wells: "As late winter turns to early spring bass began to feel the urge to full fill their primary need in nature, reproducing!  Keeping in mind that bass must reproduce every year and understanding what they need to have a successful spawn are the best tools you can keep in your tackle box during the spring transition.
 
Largemouth’s optimal water temp for spawning is 63-70 degrees and the best bottom composition for them is a light sand/gravel bottom that can easily be swept clean. The first step is finding the good bottom that they will spawn on. Look in the back of coves, pockets and flats. Once you have found the right bottom you can start to track and anticipate the water temps  as to when they will actually show up to do their thing and you can be one step ahead of them."

Crappie Fishing Tips That Can Work For You | Crappie Fishing: "Has crappie fishing been of some interest to you? Don’t worry; it’s really not that difficult.Crappie Fishing is a multidimensional activity that offers fun to people of any level of skill or experience.
Patience is one of the most important tool you can apply to crappie fishing.Don’t allow yourself to get irritated or you might end up losing your mind.
Many fishermen use light bobbers when crappie fishing during the night. Lighted bobbers have a small lightbulb inside to help you notice when fish are biting.
TIP! Casting close to the shore can help you catch more fish. Fish like shallow waters, as they’re easier to find food in, so you’re more likely to get a bite there as well.
Your hook must be very sharp to catch lots of fish. If your hook is not sharp, the fish won’t be attracted to your bait and you won’t be able to catch anything."
