Are You Ready For Fishin' Outside The Box? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Are You Ready For Fishin' Outside The Box? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Going through a stack of mail some time ago, I came upon a letter from a friend of mine, Kerry Ann of Santa Rosa, CA. Kerry thought I would enjoy reading a newspaper article about a Santa Rosa local who had just banged and released a 24-pound largemouth bass, which would have completely eclipsed the current world's record by a full two pounds.

My Panic Box | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

My Panic Box | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "I'm often asked what I do when all else fails. When what you have been doing stops working. When a cold front hits. When the fish shut down. When just nothing is working out.
   Well, I have actually created a box especially for these situations. This box has bailed me out so many times. It's really unbelievable! It has salvaged many tournaments for me and has enabled me to make a check or receive those critical tournament points"

Establishing A Pattern | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Establishing A Pattern | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Often mentioned, but rarely explained, "establishing a pattern" is a goal of every serious bass angler. While the term pattern would seem to suggest some visible cues that lead the angler to narrow his or her approach to catching, I find that many of the pros, with years of experience, appear to skip steps, or make assumptions that newcomers just can't.
    The following includes some thoughts on the matter. "

Keeping Senkos Simple | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Keeping Senkos Simple | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Since joining the Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits Pro Team in 2003, I have been asked literally hundreds of questions about our various product lines. One question however seems to outnumber the rest by a 20-to-1 margin. That question is "How do you fish a Senko?" If I had to guess, I would say Senkos are probably one of the most misused baits in the fishing industry. The good thing is they still catch fish even when used wrong (if that makes any sense)."

The Best Bait for Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

The Best Bait for Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "The bait enters the water with laser like precision. Slowly it descends through the labyrinth of thick cover. Then it happens, you feel a little tap followed by pressure on the line. You reel down to take up the slack and "BOOM" an underwater World War III erupts. The feeling I get from catching a big bass on a jig is absolutely intense. I just don't know how such a strange looking bait can produce big limits time and again. The truth is I don't really care as long as it never stops working."

Don’t Just Fish on the Front Porch | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Don’t Just Fish on the Front Porch | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "There have literally been thousands of times out on the water where I have seen anglers severely limit their success with their own poor habits. They will come across a spectacular piece of fish-holding cover and only fish the very outer edges. No matter how many times I have seen it, this still drives me nuts and makes me want to fish the cover as soon as they leave it."

Get the Most Out of Current | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Get the Most Out of Current | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Fishing current, whether it is on lakes or rivers, can be very intimidating. For anglers that are not used to fishing current, this can be a very confusing and a very irritating time on the water. Once you get a better understanding of the various aspects of current fishing, the whole process becomes much less frightening."

Cranking Up Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Cranking Up Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Without question, one of the most productive tools in any angler's arsenal is the crankbait. From the deep diving, to the lipless styles, crankbaits can produce huge limits in a variety of conditions.
   Contrary to the misconception, that crankbaits are "do nothing" or simply "cast and crank" lures, the manner in which these baits are retrieved greatly affects their productivity level."

Keep Them In The Crosshairs | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Keep Them In The Crosshairs | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Often times we lose focus.  We think color, we think size profile, we keep thinking like a bass, of which we are not.  We always need to remain the hunter, not the hunted.  Do not think like the prey, we need to remain the hunter of both the bass and its prey, but to think like neither."

The Texas Rigged Plastic Worm | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

The Texas Rigged Plastic Worm | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "First, let us discuss tackle. The rod is the most critical piece of equipment. You are looking for a rod that is very sensitive at the tip yet has a lot of backbone for setting the hook and horsing fish from cover. In today's world, you can find rods specifically made for worm fishing in all price ranges and weights. I personally use All Star rods exclusively. "

Shattering Shallow Myths | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Bernie Schultz hears it all the time. And in a way, he's glad that most bass anglers follow those age-old rules that have dictated bass fishing for so long. You know - the ones that tell you to put the top-waters away when the sun hits the water"
