The Lasting Implications of the Alabama Rig « Wired2Fish

The Lasting Implications of the Alabama Rig « Wired2Fish: "Are you sick of hearing about the Alabama Rig yet? Either way the rig is not going away. In fact, we suspect there’s going to be a lot more about it before the rumble dies down a little bit and we go about our normal lives in the bass fishing world.

Top Ice Fishing Spots in West Virginia - Skiing - Yahoo Sports

Top Ice Fishing Spots in West Virginia - Skiing - Yahoo Sports: "West Virginia is a great place to go fishing anytime of the year. In my opinion, winter is an exceptionally wonderful time to visit and catch copious amounts of bass, catfish, bluegill, walleye, and crappie. West Virginia is also one of the few states that I know of where you may readily find unusually fish like the Candy Darter as well as hybrid sport fish. I've also found that when it comes to bait, chicken livers or minnows tends to work well."

Make Your Baitcaster Fly! — www.bassresource.com — Readability: "The following is a series of observations based on my experiences with reel maintenance, tuning and upgrading. I do not do this professionally. I work on my own reels because I enjoy it. I started to do so a long time ago. I had to. When I got my first “real” reel, the deal was, I had to maintain it myself. If I wanted any more good equipment I had to demonstrate that I was capable of taking care of what I had."

Small Waters, Big Bass — www.bassresource.com — Readability

Small Waters, Big Bass — www.bassresource.com — Readability: "Do you remember the pond or small lake where you fished the first time? Many of us do. We fished small water as children and those memories can be as wonderful as the ones we've created on any lake we might fish today. Tanks, small lakes or ponds were the places that we explored in our youth, the places where we learned about nature - the real birds and bees from a kid's perspective. If we didn't catch any fish, we'd fish for crawfish or just play by the side of, or in, the water. There were lots of things to see and do there."

Hair Jigs — www.bassresource.com — Readability: "Iaconelli reaches for a hair jig when things get tough.

Hair jigs are considered an old-school basic bait, and are almost forgotten.  Everyone has seen them, and yet few use them.  The first time I saw one, I thought it was for salt-water use, or for crappie, or for some other species; but it’s really an unbelievable bass bait – especially under super tough conditions."
