Baits That Trigger Reaction Bites | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Baits That Trigger Reaction Bites | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "he next time you’re headed to the lake, think about how you plan to catch those fish. I say that because most anglers think about choosing irresistible lures that will entice bass into striking. However, I think anglers should focus more attention on a fish’s natural reaction, especially on those tough days when weather fronts have taken the edge off their aggressiveness or when the fish are getting a lot of angling pressure."

Matching Your Line to Every Bass Catching Technique | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Matching Your Line to Every Bass Catching Technique | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "With all the line options available for today's fisherman, it may surprise you that during my younger years fishing the bass tournament circuit I exclusively used one line – Trilene XT. There were some extremely rare occasions in the spring of the year, (tossing real light, tight wiggling crankbaits), when I would switch to Trilene XL. Years later I again turned to XL when I needed crankbaits to run down to depths of 20 feet."

Are you in Fish Fighting Shape? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Are you in Fish Fighting Shape? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Contrary to the opinions that most people have, fishing is very much a sport that can brutalize the body. Everything from extremely rough boat rides to crazy weather conditions to poor eating habits can have a significantly negative impact on your overall performance. Unlike other sports where their elite athletes can bench press 500 pounds and have just 3% body fat, the upper echelon of Bass fishing doesn’t have many anglers that fit that profile."

Keeping Senkos Simple | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Keeping Senkos Simple | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Since joining the Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits Pro Team in 2003, I have been asked literally hundreds of questions about our various product lines. One question however seems to outnumber the rest by a 20-to-1 margin. That question is "How do you fish a Senko?" If I had to guess, I would say Senkos are probably one of the most misused baits in the fishing industry. The good thing is they still catch fish even when used wrong (if that makes any sense)."

Finesse Fishing Tricks | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Finesse Fishing Tricks | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Finesse fishing is not a new method of fishing and actually, I prefer to call it light-line fishing. Smaller baits, smaller weights, lighter line and medium action fast-tip rods move the bait slower. This delicate and subtle style of fishing can, and will, entice inactive fish to inhale your bait."

Clear-Water Tactics | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Clear-Water Tactics | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Growing up in west Texas and fishing off-colored lakes such as Colorado City, Twin Buttes, Thomas, E.V. Spence (or anywhere else we could find water), I never really knew what clear water was until I moved to Del Rio and started fishing Amistad. I have nothing against west Texas lakes. As a matter of fact, some of my most memorable fishing trips were on these lakes, and I was fortunate enough to catch many a big bass out of them. But they differ greatly from the clear-water impoundments in the state."

Don't Give 'Em No Lip! | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Don't Give 'Em No Lip! | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "When I first became introduced to the lipless crankbait I was primarily in the "farm pond" phase of my fishing career. When I could get off after school or during the summer, my trusty (?) 1947 four-cylinder Willis would hit the county roads of Lamar and Red River county finding as many folks as possible who would let a kid cast in their farm pond. Among the real producers in my tackle box were some swimming minnow-type baits."

How's Your Bass Persona? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

How's Your Bass Persona? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "To me the most important thing you bring to your fishing ability is your own individuality. Remember that you are an original. No one can copy you exactly. And you can't copy anyone exactly. This one fact can be the greatest technique you have. Your personality and individualism are major assets if you learn how to use them in your fishing. I can tell you that if you don't let your instincts take over and use that individuality you can never be a great fisherman."

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."

Bass Fishing In The Rain | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "If you're a newcomer to bass fishing, one of the best investments you can make is in a good quality, leak-proof rain suit. Forget the inexpensive "ponchos" on the market - they become worthless in breezy weather. A good rain suit has a flap-covered, zippered front, Velcro adjusters at wrists and ankles, dry pocket flaps and waterproof sealed seams all the way round."

Small Ponds For Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Small Ponds For Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "I grew up in a time and place where the option for fishing for bass was limited primarily to smaller private ponds or lakes. The larger lakes in East Texas usually consisted of some oxbows off of the Red River or one of its tributaries. Other options were the water supply bodies built to serve local communities which were at best a couple of hundred acres, smaller farm ponds, or a trek to Caddo lake. The latter was always a special treat just for the scenery."

Swimmin' For Smallies | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "One of the most exciting aspects of Western bass angling is the constant challenge of adapting baits and presentations to the myriad of different water conditions we face every day. Angling in the West should never be dull. We have opportunities to take two strains of largemouths, spotted bass, and last, but certainly not least, the smallmouth bass."

Clear Water Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Clear Water Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Clear water has always been considered difficult to fish. What do you think of when someone mentions clear water? Spinning rods, light line and deep water? Sissy tackle is required, according to most country fried southern bassers. Maybe, but not all bass in clear water live in deep water and some of the bass that live in clear water can break that fairy wand with the flick of a tail."
