Classic Trio of Bass Pros Offer Angling Advice | OutdoorHub

Classic Trio of Bass Pros Offer Angling Advice | OutdoorHub: "I found myself in rare company over the weekend—and received an impromptu clinic in bass fishing—when I emceed a panel of bass pros comprised of three of only five anglers who have won both the Bassmaster Classic and the FLW World Championship. David Fritts, Dion Hibdon, and George Cochran were the guest experts at the “Meet the Pros” sessions presented at the Ford Indianapolis Boat, Sport and Travel Show, and the trio didn’t disappoint. The three sat elbow to elbow on a stage in front of the Hawg Trough demonstration tank, taking questions and offering answers to anglers who seemed in awe of the opportunity—at least those bass fishermen in the audience who realized the opportunity being presented."

Time to wet a line: Catching crappie - The Palm Coast Observer

Time to wet a line: Catching crappie - The Palm Coast Observer: "If there’s a close second to bass-fishing fanaticism in the freshwater fishing world, it must be crappie-fishing craziness.

Crappie (and it’s pronounced “CROP-pie,” potty mouth) aren’t very big fish — the state record, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Committee's website, is 3.83 pounds, and most crappie are closer to one pound — but they have a heck of a big following."

NationalProStaff.com - Walleye fishing

NationalProStaff.com - Walleye fishing: "ent out on the lake monday for the day off of school. trailered out there then launched our snowmobiles. was a windy day and was hard to see, so we had a couple gps's and phones. got to our spot at 7:30 and was set up by 8:15.

we were fishing in 11 feet of water. Didn't catch much for the first little bit. marked a couple on my flasher, weren't able to get them to bite. finally a big mark came in and i tried getting its attention it came in then went back down to the bottom. Then i ripped my 1/2 ounze pink thinfisher an it launched from the bottom and bit it and i set the hook. felt good, my brother took my flasher out of the water so my line didn't get tangled around it. Fought it for a little then brought it through the hole and grabbed it with my hand. 22" Green Back. Good first fish of the day."

Factoring Out Luck | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Factoring Out Luck | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Those who fish for them say largemouth bass are probably the most difficult of all species to catch. Rick Clunn, who ranks at the top of the ladder in the minds of many of the professionals and also of recreational anglers as well, stresses the importance of the learning process.
   "It never ends," he says, "If you are ever going to get into bass fishing seriously, you've got to forget one thing. That is luck, which has very little or anything to do with it. Fishing is an art and a science. It can be learned. The level you achieve in it is up to you.""

How Much of a Bass Population Can Anglers Catch? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

How Much of a Bass Population Can Anglers Catch? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "I frequent many fishing pages on the Internet. There is much to be learned from the insights of other anglers, but sometimes their views depress me. I find some anglers don't believe fisheries research reports and fisheries statistics, saying all statistics are manipulated and invalid. They dispute biological data that show bass anglers can catch most of the bass in a pond or lake. These comments show that there is often a basic distrust and misunderstanding of science, statistics, and the scientific method."

   First get on the Internet and search for fishing reports or chat rooms where you can get general information on fishing spots from anglers already fishing the lake. Don't just check the current reports, check as far back as you can. Checking current and past issues of local newspapers and magazines will also help. With this information you can compare the reports from the different sources, the times of the year and set up a chart to give you a better overall idea of possible areas to check out and basics like best lure colors.
