Early Summer Fishing | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Early Summer Fishing | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Early summer tournament fishing is some of the most consistent fishing you will have for the whole year. First and foremost fronts are a rarity this time of the year. The summer crowd is not yet out in full force. The skiers and personal watercraft pests are just now showing up. The high winds that have plagued us all spring are quieting down now. What does all this mean to the tournament anglers? It means if you find some fish now or establish a pattern, more than likely it will hold for you until your tournament."

Setting Up A Baitcaster With Pete Ponds | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "A backlash that requires lots of picking and cutting of line is one of the most frustrating situations in bass fishing.
   The frustrating situation becomes compounded when an angler is just learning how to use a baitcast reel while on a fishing trip. In some extreme cases, these anglers get so exasperated with the baitcaster that they never use one again.  "

The Versatile Carolina Rig | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

The Versatile Carolina Rig | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "There isn’t a more unique or versatile way to fish a soft-plastic lure than the Carolina rig. 
          Essentially, the Carolina rig consists of a free-sliding heavy sinker, long leader and soft-plastic worm or lizard.  The lure and sinker are separated by the leader, a swivel and glass bead.  To rig, simply slide a 1-ounce sinker on the main fishing line, followed by one or two glass beads that will clatter and protect the knot tied to one end of a swivel.  The leader and lure is attached to the other end of the swivel."

Shallow To Deep | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Shallow To Deep | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "It was May the 15th, 2009. I was fishing a milfoil bed on the outside of a large spawning cove. The water temperature was 72 to 73 degrees. Up in the cove there were still a few males, and every now and then I saw a three- or four-pounder suspended by a dock post.
   The reason I was fishing the point of milfoil was because I had kept a log for several years. I knew that a lot of large bass would stop off at this type of place before going on out to deeper structure for the summer. For the past week I had been catching a bunch of big bass on these same points. It had been easy to take a topwater, spinnerbait and floating worm and put 25 or 30 pounds in the boat in a hurry."

Wisconsin, Lake Wisconsin, Jigging - Walleye Fishing Report at IDOfishing.com: "Not really a lot to add from my last report on Lake Wisconsin walleyes. Weather was about the same, maybe even a little colder on Saturday morning. Hopefully, that will be the last time I need to wear long underwear this spring.
The bite on Saturday morning was pretty slow although we still managed to land a few walleyes including a couple legals and one slot. "

Holding Bass With Treble Hooks In Mouth - General Bass Fishing Forum - Bass Fishing Forums

Holding Bass With Treble Hooks In Mouth - General Bass Fishing Forum - Bass Fishing Forums: "I caught my first bass with a crankbait yesterday and I was not sure how to pull it out of the water. I know how to lip bass but when it comes to treble hooks I'm not so sure. I was in my kayak and ended up pulling the bass up on my lap with the line and going from there.

Is there a good way to grab a hold of bass with treble hooks in their mouths so the chances of getting a hook in a finger is minimal? What's the safest way to do it?"
