Anderson: Blue sky for fishing opener, with plentiful walleyes | Star Tribune: "Perhaps 20 other boats soon gathered in the general area, each fishing in water 11 to 14 feet deep.

Only 20 minutes passed before the tug that is specific to walleyes inhaling a bait was transmitted through my line, to my rod, and to my right hand."

So you want to pour soft plastics? Part 1 | Bassmaster

So you want to pour soft plastics? Part 1 | Bassmaster: "Handloaders are capable of making tailor-made ammunition for their firearms. Inexplicably, every gun is different and what works for one may not be the best for the one right behind it on the assembly line. The same holds true for bass lakes. What is deadly on one lake may make bass turn and run on the next. Those who pour their own worms can dial in exactly what their bass want. This scenario is what got Carl Wengenroth in the custom soft plastics business."

Making Custom Plastic Worms and Jigs for Fishing: A Smelly Experience - Yahoo Voices - voices.yahoo.com: "When I first got into largemouth bass fishing, I found that I went through a lot of soft plastic worms and grubs very quickly. This was usually due to unfortunate snags and not to fish, and I was tired of buying new ones. I had heard that it was possible to pour and make your own plastic baits, so I looked into this through Bass Pro Shops. I found a "everything you need" kit to make your own plastic worms and grubs and purchased it for a pretty decent price. I discovered that pouring your own plastic baits can be rewarding, but its a truly messy process."

The Flats Are Where It's At | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

The Flats Are Where It's At | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "No matter where you live, flats play a major role in spring bass location. Whether bass are staged waiting to move up, actually up spawning, or back out recuperating in a post spawn mode, you'll find them somewhere in the vicinity until summer temperatures and patterns kick in. Productive flats typically offer the best bottom composition for spawning habitat, such as firm or gravel bottoms with wood or vegetation cover. Once located, it's a matter of using the water temperature and prevailing weather as your guide to where bass are relating to each flat. Here are some examples."

Where to Find Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Of course, even if you have all the latest gear, you still won't catch any bass if you don't know where they are. Finding the fish is often the most difficult part of bass fishing. Bass move about a lake, pond, reservoir or stream as the seasons and water conditions change. Time of year, water temperatures, water levels, weather, light and the availability of food are all contributing factors to the migrating characteristics of the black bass."
