Cranking Up Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Cranking Up Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Without question, one of the most productive tools in any angler's arsenal is the crankbait. From the deep diving, to the lipless styles, crankbaits can produce huge limits in a variety of conditions.
   Contrary to the misconception, that crankbaits are "do nothing" or simply "cast and crank" lures, the manner in which these baits are retrieved greatly affects their productivity level. Granted, a standard retrieve will attract fish on many occasions, but it is the non-traditional retrieves that will land you a spot on the top of the winner's podium."

Fishing The Flats | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Fishing The Flats | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Some of the best areas on any body of water that you will visit don't look like much, but in fact, flats in all lakes harbor fish nearly every month of the year. No, I'm not talking about creeks or channels. I am talking about very easy areas to fish, where finding the mother lode is very possible and where someone else finding your fish is very near impossible. Flats are super.
   Whether you're fishing Needmore or Caney at Sam Rayburn, the southwest side of Wolf Island at Ray Roberts, or parking lots at Truman Reservoir, in Missouri, flats offer some of the best and easiest fishing in any lake."

The Finer Points of Punching Mats | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Two bass fishing tactics are commonly used to pull big bass from massive grass mats, throwing a hollow body frog for those fish willing to smash through the “roof,” and punching through the grass for those holding below. If bass aren’t hitting the top, the choice is already made. Put up your dukes and start punchin’."

Wind: Friend or Foe? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Wind: Friend or Foe? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "It was a great morning to go fishing. The sun was shining bright and felt warm on my face in the cool morning air. There was a slight breeze blowing in the bright blue cloudless sky. Every fisherman looks forward to perfect days like these to go fishing.
   Spring can be the best time of the year for fishing and catching fish. As the days get longer the sun warms the water and draws the fish into the coves and shallow areas to feed and spawn. Unfortunately, spring always brings with it another predictable event. Constant weather change."

    To accommodate most fishing situations, an angler needs at least five rods.  Here are the rods I believe you need to cover the basics:"
