You might find fish suspended in 40 feet of water one morning and then in the afternoon they're all up in 5 feet. Springtime's a crazy time of year but it is my favorite time to fish."

The Truth About Light Tackle | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

The Truth About Light Tackle | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "For arguments sake, my definition of light tackle is as follows: light tackle is a complete light line delivery system that makes utilizing light baits easier by matching rod, reel and line size accordingly.
   I'm sure many people view light tackle as fishing with soft wimpy rods and tiny baits on 2-pound test. The truth is that it could be like that, but it doesn't have to be. The equipment I use when going light is by no means wimpy tackle. I prefer to use equipment that can stand up to the rush of a 5-pound largemouth bass surging to get free. For this you need rods with solid backbones, fast actions and reels that can hold decent quantities of line. "

Topwater Tactics for Spring Bass

Topwater Tactics for Spring Bass: "As an avid bass fisherman, I enjoy the pristine nature of this sport -- the beautiful sunrises, the serenity of the wind and waves, the rhythms of casting and retrieving, the poetry in the pursuit.

However, there is also a darker side to bass fishing, one which mirrors the realities beneath the surface. There is no serenity in violence and quick, slashing death. There is nothing poetic about a primitive predator stalking its prey. There is no peace -- and also no remorse -- for a panic-stricken baitfish about to be gulped into oblivion."

Early Spring Bass Fishing

Early Spring Bass Fishing: "Early spring. It's the time of year that every Bass fisherman who is worth his salt looks forward to. The thought of Bass that haven't seen a lure for at least 3 months is enough to stir any of us into a frenzy. Early spring has it's advantages but it can have it's own unique problems as well. Rising water temperatures can send Bass into flurries of activity that are a Bass fisherman's dream come true. But, just as quickly, a stubborn early spring cold front can be a nightmare that puts the fish back into hibernation. The key to successful fishing during this time of year lies in using the proper lures, presenting them properly and using the weather conditions to your advantage. Paying attention to the smallest details can sometimes mean the difference between a respectable day's catch and going home skunked."

Fish kills across Ohio are likely after a long winter - Outdoor News - April 2014

Fish kills across Ohio are likely after a long winter - Outdoor News - April 2014: "Columbus — The Ohio DNR is reminding people that fish kills may be common in ponds and small lakes as the ice and snow of the past few months gives way to spring.

Winter fish die-offs caused by long periods of heavy ice and snow cover on small waters are referred to as winterkills. Winterkill is caused when persistent ice forms a surface barrier between the water and air that prevents circulation of oxygen and blocks sunlight. If these conditions continue long enough, the oxygen fish need to survive may be depleted and result in some or all of the fish suffocating."

Alton Jones’ primary reason for keeping a lipless crankbait close at hand is purely pragmatic.
 
“If you look at tournaments held this time of year on any grass lake, a lipless crankbait is almost always a major player,” Jones said. “It may not be the winning lure, but it always seems to play a big part.”"

Spinnerbaits in Spring | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Spinnerbaits in Spring | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "During spring the number one lure for bass caught during tournaments has got to be a spinnerbait. There's not a better, more productive, lure this time of year that will catch more and bigger fish.
   Sure, a jig or crankbait might catch the big bass of the tournament, but a spinnerbait will undoubtedly account for a majority of the fish brought to the scales.
   Over all my years of guiding I have been surprised at the number of anglers that have no confidence in a spinnerbait."

Trappin Bass In The Jungle - Part I | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Trappin Bass In The Jungle - Part I | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Inches below the surface of the stained water, is an intimidating minefield of stumps and decaying timber.  Endless acres of aquatic shallows are choked by hydrilla, coontail, pond weed, deertounge grass, lily pads, and alligator weeds.  The locals call it “The Jungle”.  
   Even if a visiting angler was warned by the native residents to stick to the river channels when up on plane, and been wisely cautioned to crawl through the menacing jungle to preserve their bass boat’s gelcoat from submerged wood; it would only take a few minutes for the average crankbait enthusiast to conclude that weedless jigs and plastics might be a wiser choice.  And they would be… wrong!  At least according to veteran guide, Mike Siefert."

To that end, a key strategy that helps you catch more fish and stay on task is by utilizing different baits to cover the maximum amount of water and then slowing down in high potential areas."

   I can fully understand why six or seven rods, all rigged differently laying on the deck of a bass boat might seem extravagant to a fisherman who only uses one rig all day. But as bass fishermen, we know there are at least that many rigs that are different from each other and every one has it's own application. I personally hate to take the time to even retie after I break one off, much less settle for one rod, one reel, one line size and all the knots needed to fish every given situation encountered on a single fishing day."

Fishing Naked | OutdoorHub

Fishing Naked | OutdoorHub: "This is no post-April Fools’ patter. I’m not promoting a naturalist approach to fishing and advising you wear nothing but what Ma Nature gave you when you’re out angling. Think of this subject more along the lines of The Naked Chef, or Naked Science, a pair of cable television shows that are popular because their hosts promote the basics of food prep and science, respectively."

Best Fishing TIps to Catch Tarpon | Salt Water Sportsman

Best Fishing TIps to Catch Tarpon | Salt Water Sportsman: "Right Pass at the Right Time
The key to catching tarpon is to be at the right pass at the right time. Most savvy tarpon captains choose to anchor in the passes and fish live baits under floats. Anchor lines are rigged with floats and quick-release loops so the boat can be released quickly from the anchor and the tarpon can be chased down immediately after hook-up."

Catch More Walleyes with Jigs - Ten tips | Walleye Fishing: "Jigs are the most versatile tool in any walleye angler's tackle box.  Like any technique, there are details and nuances that can make you successful or unsuccessful.  If there is one aspect of jig fishing that is often overlooked, it would be the importance of versatility.  There is not necessarily a right or wrong way to fish a jig.  When the fish are biting, you can fish a jig in a lot of different ways and get bit.  When conditions get tougher however, we often see a particular stroke or jigging style produce and catching fish is all about locking into that specific mojo.

Are We Overdoing Catch And Release? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Are We Overdoing Catch And Release? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "The art of catch and release could be on the verge of be coming the next big concern of fishery managers and biologists. It's actually already been under scrutiny for some time because keep-and-eat is what's supposedly missing from "workable" slot limits. Fisheries biologists claim that the only way slot limits really work for any lake is for small fish, those under the slot, to be retained in larger numbers than what is currently in style with bass fishing society (which is practically none).
   But they were inclined to support and promote catch and release as part of their fisheries plans and perhaps had hoped to strike some kind of balance between live release and a visit to the table, for bass in particular. No one realized that catch and release would become THE THING TO DO, almost a religious experience, for bass anglers and that such a noble ethic could become a problem for fisheries management."
