Reaching Your Goals | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Your tournament season is getting into full swing right now. If you haven't had your first event, you soon will. When was the last time you won one? I know everyone can't win every year. But, be honest with yourself, has it been one year, two years, five years or more. If it has, then you know you're doing something wrong with some aspect of your tournament preparation. You'll need to look at all phases, such as pre-fishing, practice days, locations, techniques, and your actual tournament."

How to Fish Your Way Around Cold Water Jerkbaits | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC
How to Fish Your Way Around Cold Water Jerkbaits | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Bassmaster Magazine recently featured another illustrious “Day on the Lake” article by Don Wirth in which likeable razorback pro Mike McClelland provided an excellent education on how to lure slow moving bass from 48-degree water with his suspending McStick jerkbait.
There’s no doubt suspending stickbaits have accounted for tens-of-thousands of tournament winnings when water surface temps are in the 40s throughout America’s heartland. And McClelland has certainly sacked up his fair share of coin on the slow moving shad imitators.
McClelland suspects that the inability for most guys to remain patient, in order to pause for as long as 30 to 45 seconds between the twitches of the lure once it’s reached its suspending depth, is the reason many anglers lack success with them."

Using Seasonal Patterns to Locate Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC
Using Seasonal Patterns to Locate Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Most novice and advanced anglers can take advantage of a seasonal plan of attack. The plan should be aimed at simplifying bass fishing so that everything you know, or have, is not with you every trip to the lake.
One way to make bass fishing simpler is to break your approach into seasons. The seasons for our discussion will be: Spring: temperature rises to 60 degrees, and lasts until it reaches 80 degrees. Summer: the period the water temperature is above 80 degrees. Fall: occurs when the temperature falls below 80 degrees, and lasts until it reaches 60 degrees; Winter: starts at 60 degrees and continues as long as the temperature stays below 60 degrees.
During each season we will look at the entire water column. We are going to address how you fish for shallow fish (one to 10 feet), mid-depth (10 to 20 feet) and deep (20 feet or deeper)."

Maryland Residents Plan to Rename Snakehead | OutdoorHub
Maryland Residents Plan to Rename Snakehead | OutdoorHub: "Freshwater snakeheads are top-level predators with an impressive knack for adaptability. The species also has a bad reputation for being an invasive species and in the opinions of many, are ugly to boot. As a consequence, the fish rarely makes it onto the dinner plate, but the Charles County Commissioners in Maryland want to change that by giving the fish a more appealing name."
