Factoring Out Luck | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Factoring Out Luck | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Those who fish for them say largemouth bass are probably the most difficult of all species to catch. Rick Clunn, who ranks at the top of the ladder in the minds of many of the professionals and also of recreational anglers as well, stresses the importance of the learning process.
   "It never ends," he says, "If you are ever going to get into bass fishing seriously, you've got to forget one thing. That is luck, which has very little or anything to do with it. Fishing is an art and a science. It can be learned. The level you achieve in it is up to you.""

How Much of a Bass Population Can Anglers Catch? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

How Much of a Bass Population Can Anglers Catch? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "I frequent many fishing pages on the Internet. There is much to be learned from the insights of other anglers, but sometimes their views depress me. I find some anglers don't believe fisheries research reports and fisheries statistics, saying all statistics are manipulated and invalid. They dispute biological data that show bass anglers can catch most of the bass in a pond or lake. These comments show that there is often a basic distrust and misunderstanding of science, statistics, and the scientific method."

Outdoors: Gadgets put a modern twist on ice fishing | Detroit Free Press | freep.com: "Dozens of high-tech snowmobiles race across a white morning tundra. Distinct runlets of ice glimmer aquamarine through windswept snow.

I’m traveling with a group who look like futuristic nomads, and we are on a quest to conquer winter walleye fishing at Mark Martin’s Ice Fishing Vacation School on Saginaw Bay. The ice sleds are so advanced they look ready rise up and become Transformer robots."

A cold front pushes fish back to deep water, and postpones the annual ritual. But bass will be right back in the shallows when conditions change and water warms, and they’re often setups for anglers to catch."
