Striped Bass Fishing - Stripers 247.com - Striper Fishing and saltwater, freshwater reports and Striper Fishing hybrid striped bass fishing

Striped Bass Fishing - Stripers 247.com - Striper Fishing and saltwater, freshwater reports and Striper Fishing hybrid striped bass fishing: "I'm not going to pretend that my recent freshwater trips compare to last year's epic striper run, but I've enjoyed my time at the local ponds and lakes a lot more than I could have ever imagined. Fortunately, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, chain pickerel, black crappie, and yellow perch have been more than willing to tug on the line. Over the last month, I've been fishing just about every day and much of the time with a bent rod."

Bass Fishing in a Winter Wonder Land

Bass Fishing in a Winter Wonder Land: " Growing up on Tennessee’s legendary Dale Hollow Lake, fishing with my family out of Horse Creek Dock, in the shadow of the late, legendary bass angler, Billy Westmorland helped me learn to fish.  While Donna learned from her late father Tommy Mullins, while smallmouth fishing on Michigans Great Lakes, including Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River. Today we try to help others with each post on WFN and each tip shared on Facebook.  Unlike many anglers, who store away their gear in winter, Donna and I head to the water and make the most of what we call, “the second season”. Winter techniques are limited but our approach is dictated by water temperature and by weather conditions. "

The World's Best Fly - OutdoorHub.com

The World's Best Fly - OutdoorHub.com: "A short while ago, I wrote a column about which rifle cartridge I considered as the best all-around caliber. Some of you agreed with me and some did not. It was a fun exercise, in part, because it gets people to thinking, about why they prefer one gun over another. As it is with gun calibers, so it is with one’s favorite fly. No matter what fly I pronounce the world’s best fly, there are going to be folks who disagree with me. So be it. If you don’t agree with me, that’s fine, but at least we get to examine the subject of what might constitute the world’s best fly."

Lurenet - Two Best Wintertime Largemouth Bass Fishing Lures

Lurenet - Two Best Wintertime Largemouth Bass Fishing Lures: "Two of the most-effective lures for wintertime bass are the curltail grub and the straight-tail finesse worm on a jighead, aka the shaky head. Although on the surface these two presentations seem similar, there are distinct differences in the way they are fished. One catches suspended bass and can be retrieved quickly; the other normally is retrieved in slow motion and is best when bass are relating to the bottom, structure or cover.  "

Deep Water Structure | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "This is still probably the most misunderstood type of fishing out there. We've all been brought up with the notions of casting to visible cover. This makes non-visual targets difficult to fish for the average fisherman."
