Last week my area was graced enough to have been given some outstanding weather that saw some clear skies and air temperatures reach into the low 70’s. With such great weather I was not only able to cut out some underbrush in my yard, but I was also able to hit the water and manage […]

Do Some “Vicious Fishing” This Year

               
     When new companies hit the market in the fishing industry they are always quickly evaluated making them prone to bashing or glorifying. Fisherman of all types maintain a tight circle of trust, passing their insight, opinions, and results across the TV, radio, web sites, message boards, magazine articles, and word of mouth.

Patience Will Yield Cold Weather Bass

Perhaps my favorite thing about fishing during this time of the year is the reduction in boat traffic. I can get to my favorite spots without having to deal with churned up water from a bunch of jet skis and ski boats, and I can also fish many of my secret hidey holes without having […]
