Whats Hot With Bass Fishing
Whats Hot with Bass Fishing? by George Mole In order to enjoy bass you need to know what lures to use. A recent survey carried out amongst the pro bass fishers found that plastic worms was the most used followed by spinner bait and crank bait. However, most will use a combination of all three depending on how they plan to fish. Firstly, however, you must consider if it is better to cover a smaller segment of water thoroughly or skim across a larger area as quickly as possible to find fish. Using a worm is slower, but extremely effective as the Bass is attracted to this. The problem with with a worm is the inability to sense strikes, due to a sinker that is too heavy and a line that is too thick. Not to worry - the best advice to overcome this problem is to use a variable buoyancy worm using lead strip sinkers. The advantages to this are no moving lead on the line to dampen the feel of a gentle pickup. The precise amount of lead is applied to deliver the necessary worm action. This makes it easier for the bass to take the worm. It will also help in hook setting and youll find it easier to shake loose from snags. Moreover, you can make the worm hang suspended over the bottom when in shallow waters. The simplest way to work out how much lead strip is needed is to wrap one strip around the hook and bury the barb in the worm. Ease it into the water and watch it sink, it should barely settle toward the bottom. If it sinks

to fast, take some off and try again. Ideally you should use nothing heavier than 8-pound mono line - preferably 6 pound. Alternatively, Spinner bait can be moved quicker across the surface and can be bounced on the bottom, sent against a tree limb and moved in many different ways in order to encourage strikes. It is a great probing lure for the shoreline because of its tangle-free construction. Finally, Crank baits cover a lot of water in a hurry. If you use them, you can check out a spot without wasting too much time. They can also be used for locating fish that may be scattered. Regardless of which lure you choose to use you need to make it as easy for the Bass to get at it as possible. Drop that lure right in front of them. Dont forget to remember that the best time to catch Bass is at either dawn or dusk. This is because they like to hide in ambush spots and pounce on baitfish which tend to be active during these times. If you want success then this is the time to go fish. Check the air temperature first though. If its below 10C (50F) then its pointless as you will find certain pond life dormant during these temperatures thereby breaking the food chain feeding. Discover and learn to use one of those lures and really find enjoyment in bass fishing! Did you find these tips on bass useful?

Deep Sea Fishing

Stop the Madness!!
First, they shut down the red snapper, grouper, and black seabass fisheries for an undetermined length of time. Next, the president forms a task force to oversee and protect the oceanic waters - we have yet to see the outcome of this group's recommendations - some say this could even prevent you from fishing in a pond on your own property. Either of these could curtail recreational fishing as we know it. The fishery closures are already having a huge economic impact on the fishing industry. California anglers wrestle with all the areas closed to fishing every day.

Now I read today that NOAA, in all its wisdom, wants to put loggerhead turtles on the endangered species list. Now, that may not seem to be bad - in fact, protecting an endangered animal species is what we need top do. But - is this turtle really endangered? I see at least one loggerhead on every trip I make. In fact, we often purposely look for one, because they are generally diving over live bottom, and that means fish are down there.

During the recent cold weather in Florida, hundreds of turtles were rescued and saved from death to be released back into the ocean when the water warmed. I just don't see the problem in my experience.

The report talks about Japanese nesting areas for the northern Pacific loggerhead. Ok - go after the Japanese. I wonder why we always seem to have to be the saviors of the world. It's just like the whaling industry in Japan and the blue fin tuna fishery in Japan. World stocks are depleted, but they seem to not care. So - to cure the problem, we let them fish and shut down our own fisheries.

So why is the loggerhead an issue? Well just watch. Top protect these turtles, commercial fishermen will be shut down in certain areas. Beach fronts that are nesting areas will be closed to public access. Boat traffic will be eliminated in areas where loggerheads roam - it just goes on and on. And, if you think I am making this up, just look at the manatee restrictions put in place in Florida over the past several years.

I am sure to get emails blasting me for this - PETA, et al, always watch what I write and then blast me. But - someone has to make some rational sense out of all of this.

You must realize that you have not heard from PETA and the other environmental groups for quite a while. I said years ago that they were well funded and they were taking their fight to lobbyists to quietly change fishing regulations. They have latched onto and gotten the ear of the government now and things will be changing fast over the next few years. IT IS TIME TO STOP THIS MADNESS!

If you fish - and by reading this either you do or you are one of the many tree-huggers that are trying to stop fishing altogether - you need to get hold of your congressman's and senators' ears and tell them - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Archaeological evidence plainly indicates that fish were probably more prominent in the diet of early Americans than red meat. Fishing in nineteenth-century Arkansas began in earnest in the 1850s, precisely at the time when much formerly plentiful game no longer existed.
