Riege: Late ice fishing is the best | Austin Daily Herald: "As winter ice fishing progresses some tactics have to be changed. Early in the season the action is fast and as the ice gets thicker and the days colder the fish have a tendency to slow down and move. In fact, in most bodies of water mobility is crucial if you want to stay on fish...."

Burning the Banks | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Any one who knows me will tell you that I'm crazy about jerkbaits. I will throw them until my arm gives out. I truly believe that I have wasted many years of bass fishing by not throwing these baits, especially in clear water. It's amazing how far a bass will travel to smash a wild moving jerkbait. Give me a big flat with lots of submerged grass and I am happy."

The Fishing Website

The Fishing Website: "don’t spend a lot of time fishing from wharves, my preference being to get out on the open coast and fish the surf beaches and rocks where the fish are thicker, away from the crowds.
However, every year I travel to Northland on an LBG trip and spend some time on the wharves up there. These trips are full of big days on the rocks and long walks, so a day on the wharf – which often makes a great fishing platform – offers a chance to rest the body before another big day."

Bass Fishing Tip: Go Slow for Spring Largemouth | Field & Stream

Bass Fishing Tip: Go Slow for Spring Largemouth | Field & Stream: "In early spring, bass move onto reservoir flats to warm up prior to spawning. They’re sluggish in cold water, so they’ll often ignore a fast-moving crankbait or a bulky spinnerbait. But a jig that is swimming like a slow-moving baitfish is an offer they often can’t refuse. A weedless, 1⁄8- to 3⁄8-ounce jig in black, brown, or green pumpkin works best with this horizontal presentation. Tip the hook with a matching pork or plastic chunk trailer to add a realistic fluttering action. Fish the combo on a 7-foot, medium-heavy spinning or baitcasting outfit with 8- to 12-pound fluorocarbon."

Walleye Fishing | An Ice Fishing Trip Well Worth It!

Walleye Fishing |  An Ice Fishing Trip Well Worth It!: "If you ice fish, then I'm sure that you've heard of the famous Devils Lake in North Dakota. Devils Lake has been a top notch fishery for decades, but in recent years fishing has gotten even better for perch, walleye, and northern pike. The premier guiding service on Devils Lake is the Perch Patrol Guide Service which has been in operation for 19 years and is comprised of the best and most sought after ice fishing guides in the area. Most of the guides also fish the prime waters of Devils Lake year-round, so their knowledge and expertise is unmatched. "

Being Frugal With Soft Plastics | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Being Frugal With Soft Plastics | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "How many of us have been through this?  You have some down time in the winter to re-organize your tackle and you begin to see a pattern with your soft plastic lures.  The number of bags in the pile that you use often is many times smaller than the number of packs of lures that you own.  Why is this?  If you’re like me then the reason is simple.  I like spending money on fishing and when I get excited about a new lure or one that I’ve just been introduced to, especially a soft plastic, I go a little crazy with my spending.  This causes me to have an overabundance of lures in colors that I generally wouldn’t use.  This doesn’t happen overnight, mind you.  Usually after several years of anglers experimenting with what kind of plastic baits and in what colors they most often use, they will be stuck in this situation."
