Bass and Cover | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Bass and Cover | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "This is one of the most basic concepts of bass fishing. Bass and cover is similar to peanut butter and jelly. It's like the chicken and the egg. They go together. The bass is a creature of prey. He uses cover as a point of ambush to attack. Cover also provides protection from other species."

Deep Water Jig and Pig | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Right away when anyone mentions jig and pig, you tend to automatically relate that with flipping and pitching to shallow, visible cover. And sure that's a dynamite way to catch bass. But it leaves a giant window of opportunity open. Just as guys like David Fritts and Paul Elias exploit deep water with crankbaits, the same can be done with jigs."

Where to Find Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

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."

Cruisin' for a Pike - Jackson Kayak Jackson Kayak

Cruisin' for a Pike - Jackson Kayak Jackson Kayak: "he leaves have all fallen off the trees and the water temperature is on a steady decline thanks to the early morning coatings of frost in Western Pennsylvania. I had just moved from the suburbs to the sticks the day before and hardly anything was where it should have been, except for my wife’s Cruise 10. I knew exactly where it was along with a couple of fishing rods."

Hair Jigs | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Hair Jigs | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Hair jigs are considered an old-school basic bait, and are almost forgotten.  Everyone has seen them, and yet few use them.  The first time I saw one, I thought it was for salt-water use, or for crappie, or for some other species; but it’s really an unbelievable bass bait – especially under super tough conditions."

Five Moves To Giant Smallies | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Five Moves To Giant Smallies | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Angers don’t forget their biggest bass. They recall the details faster than a young child recites his or her Christmas list in early December. Ask Kennewick, Wash., angler Bob Adkinson, a guide on the Columbia River, about his biggest smallmouth. “I’m not sure about the details,” he’ll say, most likely with a little grin. Then it all rushes out. It weighed 7 pounds, 5 ounces, measured 22½ inches long, 18 inches around, caught Sept. 3, 2005, in 65-degree water and 14-feet deep and it ate a Big Bite Baits tube jig in Old Ugly color."

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."
