Crappies Down Deep « OutDoors Unlimited Magazine

Crappies Down Deep « OutDoors Unlimited Magazine: "Almost anyone who enjoys freshwater fishing enjoys catching crappies.  Crappies are great on the table, they’re abundant in many waters, they are very appealing visually, and best of all, when you get on them they can be willing biters.  In the fall months, if you can find the crappies they will provide lots of action. Crappies can be kind of a mysterious fish, especially the big ones.  They can be easy to find and catch in the spring when they’re in the shallows spawning, but after the spawn, in many bodies of water they seem to disappear.  They reappear in the fall if you know where to look.  Here’s where to look in "

Know Your Fishing Reels | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Take the reels off the rods and place them on some newspaper on the kitchen table. Pick each one up, one at a time. Does the reel fit in your hand comfortably? Is it too large?
   If the reel feels oversized, consider there are several smaller versions of those larger reels on the market today. The casting reel gear ratios are the same as their big brothers, and are easier for small hands to use. It is true that you can not put as much line on these smaller reels. However, you will fish more comfortably and cast more accurately if the reel fits your hand."

Spinnerbait Basics | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Spinnerbait Basics | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Probably the most universal artificial bait used by both tournament anglers and the weekend fisherman is the spinnerbait. You can flip it like a jig into heavy cover or work it along laydowns and in treetops like a Texas-rigged worm. It can be waked across the top of the water like a buzzbait or run it one to three feet deep like a Rat-L-Trap. You can let it fall down deeper like a medium- to deep-diving crankbait or slow roll it across the bottom. This is just about the most versatile lure you can carry in your boat."

Winter Jig Fishing | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Winter Jig Fishing | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "It's time to slow down our presentation as the water cools and look to the jig or a Texas-rigged worm or craw on those really cold days. Bass will move deeper as the water cools to establish their winter base of operation. The deeper coves with a defined creek channel, longer points that drop off into secondary or primary creek channels, or a shoreline where the bottom has a fast drop off, causing a stair step effect are the best places to start exploring for action. The other primary factor that needs to be in all of these spots is wood. Bass tend to prefer wood in the colder months"

Ice Fishing Tips to Stay Safe - YourErie.com - Powered by JET 24 and FOX 66 Erie PA: "The water is beginning to freeze over and soon fishermen will be heading out on the ice for ice fishing. The Coast Guard says the ice could be very unstable. Officials say if it is clear and blue, that is the best kind of ice to go out on. Be sure check that the ice is thick enough before leaving land—It should be about three inches thick. Snow on the ice is another key factor to look out for when preparing to ice fish. Be sure to remember I.C.E –intelligence, clothing and equipment. "

Tips to stay warm during winter fishing trips - Louisiana Sportsman

Tips to stay warm during winter fishing trips - Louisiana Sportsman: "The average winter temperature range in the bayou state is 64 to 41 degrees during December and 61 to 41 degrees in January.

However, Louisiana does have its share of winter fronts that drive temperatures below freezing and allow daytime highs to hover only in the 30 and 40s.

So the wind chills can be brutal when fishing early morning hours and running in boats even at moderate speeds."
