Lipless Crankbaits | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Lipless Crankbaits | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "My first introduction to lipless crankbaits was when I won twenty of them in a raffle on Lake Cayuga in upstate New York. The following week I tried in vain to catch fish with this noisy, skinny looking object. What I did catch was wood, weeds and rocks. So the lures remained in the bottom of the tackle bag collecting dust like so many baits that I believed were for catching fishermen, not fish!"

Plastics Baits | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Plastics Baits | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Plastic baits come in assorted colors, sizes, shapes, and types such as floating and non-floating. 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."

Fishing Partners | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "A boating or fishing partner, to some, means the non-boater neighbor, associate at work or a friend from high school or college. To others it is their spouse or significant other, but if you look at it from the non- boater's side, you have the boat and you assume the lead in the adventure."

Top to Bottom Bass Fishing | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Here is a look at some of the baits and methods I use on a seasonal basis. There are of course several that I did not write about but this is largely my approach to bass fishing here in New York.
   Although I am not a huge deep water guy primarily based on the waters in my geographical area, I can regularly take fish down to about 20 feet....although I too prefer to spend much of my time from surface to about 12 feet. I could write about this all day but time won't permit that. Here is a basic overview of what I use to cover the depths I fish from top to bottom."

How To Fish Tube Baits | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

How To Fish Tube Baits | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "The names Bobby and Garry Garland are certain to be enshrined in the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame one day due to the original tube bait the brothers developed called the Gitzit. The invented the lure to help them catch finicky fish on Lake Mead in Arizona. It is still one of the best finesse baits ever designed. There are tons of knock-offs, but a lot of anglers insist that the original Gitzit is the best. Sadly Bobby and Garry have both passed on. I actually met up with Garry a few years before he died and fished Roosevelt with him."

Cranking the weeds for largemouth bass

Cranking the weeds for largemouth bass: "Once again, I’d like to thank you for all the great e-mails and photos that you have sent.

Weeds are the most important type of cover for largemouth bass. They produce oxygen for the fish and allow them a hiding place to ambush their prey.

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."
