Trophy Bass Lakes in Minnesota

Trophy Bass Lakes in Minnesota: "While I stood there watching the weigh-in I thought to myself that the bass these guys think of as average, we up in Minnesota think of as trophies. I was watching a bass fishing tournament in Eufaula, Ala., and some 7- to 9-pound bass had been caught and brought to the scales. When I asked the anglers who caught the fish if they thought these were trophies, they said “no.” A trophy to them is over 10 pounds."

Bass Fishing: Tips for using topwater baits | The Rock River Times

Bass Fishing: Tips for using topwater baits | The Rock River Times: "The anticipation instantly begins as your topwater bait hits the water. As the rings of water slowly dissipate, you can almost feel a bass wheeling around and keying in on your bait. As you begin your retrieve, you know at any instant the explosion of a rocket-like green torpedo bolting out of the water could happen. That is why I love topwater fishing for largemouth bass. Aside from being a kick in the pants to fish, topwater baits are also highly effective tools of the trade under the right conditions."

Don't Give 'Em No Lip! | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "When I first became introduced to the lipless crankbait I was primarily in the "farm pond" phase of my fishing career. When I could get off after school or during the summer, my trusty (?) 1947 four-cylinder Willis would hit the county roads of Lamar and Red River county finding as many folks as possible who would let a kid cast in their farm pond. Among the real producers in my tackle box were some swimming minnow-type baits"

A less traditional, more wacky way to catch bass | The Kansas City Star

A less traditional, more wacky way to catch bass | The Kansas City Star: "Midway through a fishing trip on Bone Creek Lake, Zac Udock had a wacky idea.

The bass weren’t biting other baits, so it was time for Udock to go to his secret weapon— the wacky rig.

“This is my go-to bait,” Udock said as he displayed a six-inch-long plastic stick worm that was hooked in the middle instead of the end. “This lake has a lot of bass in it, but it also gets a ton of pressure."

Beating The Dog Days of Summer | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Beating The Dog Days of Summer | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Here we are again, facing the tremendous heat of summer. In the desert southwest, during the so-called "dog days" of summer, anglers feel the heat and so do the fish. Summertime temperatures can reach well over 100 degrees with water temperatures reaching above the 80-degree mark. When the water gets this hot, bass are no different from the rest of us; they seek out any opportunity to escape the boiling water. Whether it's under a weed mat, hidden in oxygen-giving timber, the shade of a boat dock or positioning themselves near a cool running inlet, be assured, the bass are still feeding actively. You may need a couple gallons of Gatorade and a wet towel, but the fishing action can be sizzling!"
