Fishing With The Wind | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Fishing With The Wind | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "When I first began fishing tournaments, panic set in any time the wind forecast was over 10 mph. I hated the wind because it made boat control difficult, drained trolling motor batteries, caused constant backlashes and left me with some "punk" hairdos before they were in style. I detested the wind - it blew my mind and gave me a bad attitude. I was defeated before I ever made my first cast."

Bass Fishing In The Rain | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Bass Fishing In The Rain | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "If you're a newcomer to bass fishing, one of the best investments you can make is in a good quality, leak-proof rain suit. Forget the inexpensive "ponchos" on the market - they become worthless in breezy weather. A good rain suit has a flap-covered, zippered front, Velcro adjusters at wrists and ankles, dry pocket flaps and waterproof sealed seams all the way round."

How To Handle Pressured Lakes | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

How To Handle Pressured Lakes | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "A problem facing today’s anglers is the indignant behavior bass develop when confronted with heavy fishing pressure. 
   Unquestionably, a constant bombardment of lures and steady boat traffic can quickly ruin a hungry bass’s appetite.  Tournament anglers deal with this problem regularly.  It is perhaps more severe in the Midwest and Northeast, where bass-fishing waters are not as numerous, and a small lake quickly attracts many anglers."

Cold Fronts | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Cold Fronts | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Many articles have been written on cold fronts and how they affect fishing. One thing most anglers do know is that changing weather most definitely changes fishing success. The first cold fronts that hit in the early fall start cooling the water temperature. This usually gets the fish in a feeding mode. These fronts are usually mild and don't drop the air temperature much. Baitfish will start moving back into the backs of the creeks as the water cools."

The Hunt For Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

The Hunt For Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "My fishing past started out almost 20 years ago. I began to get really serious about it when I was 15 years old. When I got my drivers license, I bought a trailer to tow my boat and I spent the next 10 years or so fishing close to 200+ days a year. I learned so much just by being out on the water. My early days saw me as a power fisherman, slinging big baits on heavy lines. I did quite well. I caught a ton of fish and I caught big fish."

A Hard Lesson Learned that Changed My Approach to Fishing Tournaments | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Tournament fishing and fun fishing are two very different ball games.

Keys To Catching Cold Water Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Keys To Catching Cold Water Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Catching bass in cold water is one of the least understood topics in fishing.  That doesn’t mean it’s always difficult, but it can be perplexing. 
    There is a lot of confusion as to what constitutes cold water.  In the South, water below 55 degrees makes for tough fishing conditions.  In the North, where bass are accustomed to lower temperatures, fishing can be good in water temperatures above 45 degrees."
