What's The Best Lure? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

What's The Best Lure? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "If you had only one lure to use in your next tournament season, what would it be? Would you choose a worm, spinnerbait, topwater, or something else? They all have advantages and disadvantages at certain times of the year.
   If I could only choose one, it would have to be a crankbait. It's not my favorite way to fish, but for tournaments I strongly believe that it is the most versatile and productive of all lures."

Hair for Cold Water River Bronzebacks | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Hair for Cold Water River Bronzebacks | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Seasoned largemouth bass anglers profess that for large bass throughout the seasons, a rubber or silicon-skirted jig with a pork or plastic trailer is hard to beat.
   For that other "black bass", however, hair is the way to go. Smallmouth bass inhabiting most rivers in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast prefer hair jigs to silicon or rubber skirted jigs, hands down. It has been a popular mistruth over the years that smallmouth do not eat or that they lay dormant when the water temperature holds in the 30's, as it does during the cold water winter period. The cold water period is an excellent time for anglers to catch trophy river smallmouth bass, and a hair jig is frequently the most productive lure."

Boating Etiquette On and Off the Water | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Boating Etiquette On and Off the Water | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Boat etiquette on and off the water is an ever-increasing issue. Ask any boater what they perceive to be the biggest issue on the water, and they will inevitably go into a story about an inconsiderate boater. And many times this will occur at the launch ramp before the boater even gets on the water. As our waterways become more crowded, this issue increases."

Know Your Fishing Reels | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Know Your Fishing Reels | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Take the reels off the rods and place them on some newspaper on the kitchen table. Pick each one up, one at a time. Does the reel fit in your hand comfortably? Is it too large?
   If the reel feels oversized, consider there are several smaller versions of those larger reels on the market today. The casting reel gear ratios are the same as their big brothers, and are easier for small hands to use. It is true that you can not put as much line on these smaller reels. However, you will fish more comfortably and cast more accurately if the reel fits your hand."
