Bass Habitats | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Bass Habitats | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Rivers can provide excellent habitat for bass. Rivers are highly oxygenated and the oxygen is usually evenly mixed from top to bottom. Rivers often receive less fishing pressure than lakes. Temperatures in a river are moderate as compared with lakes. Rivers are generally slightly warmer in winter and cooler in summer than lakes."

Cruisin' for a Pike - Jackson Kayak Jackson Kayak

Cruisin' for a Pike - Jackson Kayak Jackson Kayak: "he leaves have all fallen off the trees and the water temperature is on a steady decline thanks to the early morning coatings of frost in Western Pennsylvania. I had just moved from the suburbs to the sticks the day before and hardly anything was where it should have been, except for my wife’s Cruise 10. I knew exactly where it was along with a couple of fishing rods."

Hair Jigs | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Hair Jigs | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Hair jigs are considered an old-school basic bait, and are almost forgotten.  Everyone has seen them, and yet few use them.  The first time I saw one, I thought it was for salt-water use, or for crappie, or for some other species; but it’s really an unbelievable bass bait – especially under super tough conditions."

Five Moves To Giant Smallies | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Five Moves To Giant Smallies | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Angers don’t forget their biggest bass. They recall the details faster than a young child recites his or her Christmas list in early December. Ask Kennewick, Wash., angler Bob Adkinson, a guide on the Columbia River, about his biggest smallmouth. “I’m not sure about the details,” he’ll say, most likely with a little grin. Then it all rushes out. It weighed 7 pounds, 5 ounces, measured 22½ inches long, 18 inches around, caught Sept. 3, 2005, in 65-degree water and 14-feet deep and it ate a Big Bite Baits tube jig in Old Ugly color."

How to Catch Walleye | Wawang Lake Resort: "Walleye are known to exhibit finicky feeding habits, but there are times when they hit artificial lures with reckless abandon, even Northern Pike sized lures.

Fishing The Flats | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Fishing The Flats | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Some of the best areas on any body of water that you will visit don't look like much, but in fact, flats in all lakes harbor fish nearly every month of the year. No, I'm not talking about creeks or channels. I am talking about very easy areas to fish, where finding the mother lode is very possible and where someone else finding your fish is very near impossible. Flats are super.
   Whether you're fishing Needmore or Caney at Sam Rayburn, the southwest side of Wolf Island at Ray Roberts, or parking lots at Truman Reservoir, in Missouri, flats offer some of the best and easiest fishing in any lake."

True Confessions of a River Rat | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

True Confessions of a River Rat | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "I remember the way it used to be - beautiful scenery, wildlife, unique scents and sounds. The fishing was easy, fast-paced and fun. I learned something every time I went out on the water. Those days have pretty much given way to tournament and club responsibilities. Although those days are not long gone, I see myself heading back to them at a rapid pace. Back to a time when I could target some bigger fish and not worry about a clock. Back to a time where my next turn could have me spying a deer taking a quick drink, or a Hawk or Egret spying the waters edge. Back to a time where I was almost assured solitude and frantic bass action. The fact is I am a River Junkie....a River Rat. I always was."

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

How To Fish The Weeds | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "For years growing up, my father and I would take trips during the fishing season to Long Point Bay in Lake Erie. The bay is a host to varieties of structure; just about anything you can shake a stick at. Rocks, sandbars, humps, sunken islands, docks, laydowns, brush, and even shipwrecks! But perhaps the easiest and most reliable place to find fish is in the weeds."

Fishing Bridges | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Fishing Bridges | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "When the toughest Bassmaster Classic in history played out on Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers in 2005, their hardened faces got as much TV time as eventual winner Kevin VanDam. You know them well. You can’t miss them. They span hundreds of yards, if not miles, over your favorite body of water, and hang dozens of feet over your head."
