I want to let fellow anglers know to take your time fishing your bait. It's very important a lot of times to slow down and make sure you're working the cover to the fullest. I want to tell a story...Our first trip on the lake bassin' last season, I was fishing the flowage in styles. It was me, my girl, and her brother. We started early fishing from shore. As we were fishing, we saw a lot of tourney guys. Found out there was a tourney there in the next couple days, so the guys were doing a little pre-fishing. We noticed these pros were flying through our area in a hurry. We also noticed not 1 of them caught a bass. We just smiled and kept fishing. By lunch, we all had at least 5 or 6 nice bass, but...

In this article we're going to cover one of the most common types of fraud and unfortunately the easiest one to get away with.How many times has this happened to you? You see an ad in the paper for something that's on sale for a ridiculously low price. You rush down to the store to get this item before it's gone and sure enough when you get there, no matter how early it is, the item is gone. And then after you find this out the salesperson says to you something like, "But we have one just as good over here." Turns out the item is 4 times the cost and not as good. You're angry enough to strangle someone. But ultimately you end up getting the other item because you don't want the trip to be a...

Common courtesy dictates that you take your line out of the water for any angler who has a fish on the line. This is so that they have plenty of space in order to land their fish. This rule is very important if you're fishing down-river from the other angler. Make sure that you never step into the space of an angler who is releasing or landing a fish on the bank. Whenever you're fly fishing you'll need to be as quiet as you can and this means leaving your dog and the radio at home. There are two reasons why you want to be as quiet as possible: (1) you don't want to spook the fish, and (2) you don't want to disturb other fly fishers. Many people enjoy fly fishing for the peace and solitude that...

Another day in cabo san lucas fishing for stripped marlin. Anyone who has caught one of these fish know they put up a huge fight. Well it was about four in the morning when the alarm went off, time to roll out of bed for another day of tag and release fishing. There is nothing better than spending the day on the water with some good buddies collecting data on such a remarkable species.

Well once we got past the port captain on the way out of the harbor, we stated to talk about...

I recently had a conversation with "wonder bread boy" about a serious dilemma he was having.It seems that he has misplaced, lost or surrendered, to his ex, the bulk of his fishing gear.Now, this alone is a monumental problem in itself, not the lost or misplaced part, but the trying to ask your ex for something that means absolutely nothing to her but would certainly open up a humongous can of nightcrawlers should you attempt to ask for it back..."Hi sweet.""Oh, it's YOU.""How ya been?""Cut the chit chat wonder boy, what is it you want?""Well,(gulp) it seems-snookums- that when you tossed me out into the street and took legal ownership of all my bank accounts and left me with little or nothing to...

Everyone has their favourite fishing baits and this is especially so when it comes to carp baits and flavours. But in the far more competitive carp fishing scenarios, the big question is, "Are your 'favourite baits' actually costing you more or bigger fish?!" It costs most carp fishermen quite a sacrifice in time and money to go carp fishing these days. You really want to put the odds as high in your favour as possible. Unfortunately this does not always mean simply buying the successful anglers bait from the last session on a water. But why is this? Surely commercial carp baits are the best option for your success and confidence, having been rigorously tested and proven and almost inevitably having...

Daniel Eggertsen Why Night Fishing Beats Day Fishing Any Day of the Week One of the biggest reasons is the size of the fish you can catch at night. In almost every circumstance, you will catch bigger fish at night than you can during the day. There are several reasons for this. Bigger fish tend to feed at night. Maybe the reason these fish were able to get so big is because they were smart enough to not eat during the day when dinner may include a fisherman's hook inside it. Note: One other huge reason why you will have a big advantage at night is that you can use the Evening Secret at night. Why will this increase your catches? Check it out to see. ( I like to think the big fish just sit...

Cameron Larsen Like all bass fishing, bass fly fishing has exploded in popularity. The largemouth bass is considered by many the greatest of all gamefish. Once limited to just the Eastern United States, the largemouth bass has been introduced all over the continent. When most people think of bass fishing they think of, stiff fiberglass rods, heavy lines and large lures. But more and more fisherman are finding the advantage of fly fishing for this game fish. Fly fishing allows the angler a wider variety of food imitations. While large lures only imitate a small number of food sources, flies can imitate virtually all the sources of bass food, including small organisms like nymphs and even dry flies...

A pond without plants is like cake without icing. Pond plants fight algae, give fish a hiding place against predators, and beautify our own little slice of paradise to plunk down in at the end of a tiring day. Don't smother your pond with plants, however. Start with half the surface area, and don't let them cover more than two-thirds to three-quarters at their growing peak. Overcrowding stresses them out, and hey - it just looks bad! Don't let the terms "hardy" and "tropical" throw you when choosing plants for your pond. Just remember that these terms refer to the environment in which the plant has originally been adapted - and not to whether it can be thrown across the room or how well it looks in...

When you go to your big bass fishing activity, one good advice is to study the body of water where you want to fish. Most big bass can easily be found in the dark portions of the water, usually where a piece of structure such as wood is located. This is a favorite spot for big bass to hide and settle in. The darkest portion of the wood is where the big bass is most likely to lie in. However, the smaller sized bass are more restless and are swimming around different locations of the structure. They prefer to play and bury among and brush pile and just wait for a long time until a prey comes swimming by. You can try looking over the water for the dividing line between the clear water and the muddy...

I do not know a lot about the other lakes in Georgia except what I read. He fishes most of the lakes in Georgia in his tournaments. From what I read most of the lakes north of here have become overrun by spotted bass. He seldom catches one over 3lbs. I have fished Ray's lake only a couple of times and have caught some small bass but those pads on the north end should hold some big bass and I am sure they have in the past. The carp you see are the white amour carp put into that area by the "DNR" to try and control weeds. The only result is that they have controlled the bass. The gates do, I am certain keep migrating bass out of the area as well as supposedly keeping the carp in. I hope, for the sake...

Frank Faldo Good Fly Presentation Also remember that the Evening Secret ( will swarm fish to your spot consistantly, and help you catch more fish. Never randomly cast - you have got to pick a spot and hit it. Throw tight loops that put the fly on target. One important method that can be used is to overcast the target and stop the line short while it is in the air. The fly should come back to you and fall on the water with slack in the leader.

One of the most important thins they do is to recognize that presentation...
