There's fishing and then there's...I don't know - what?

Casting is something that should be practiced on a regular basis.


Casting accuracy is something that receives little attention from most non-professional anglers.


Use the lightest line possible without jeopardizing your ability to effectively handle a fighting bass.


The importance of an eddy is it will cause bait fish to be in a more tightly grouped pattern.


Current is a major factor in determining holding areas of bass.


Long shallow points near deep water, ledges, creek channels, and flats are good places to look for bass.


The key to success is analyzing the body of water you are fishing.


Bass prefer a shaded area away from the blazing sun.


Often times during a storm, thunder will drive fish to deeper water.


To catch a bass, start to think like a bass.


If you know where a bass should be during any given condition, it greatly increases your chances of hooking them.


A rising star on bass fishing's horizon, Bruce "Bam" McQueen, sums it up rather nicely.


Understanding the habits and patterns of bass can be one of the biggest deciding factors in fishing.


Altering your game plan can put you back on quality fish in a hurry.


Going fishless is not something you should just take as a fact of life.


Tip the rod down and back up when setting the hook.


Reel in the slack and lifting the rod tip just putting enough pressure to feel a fish, and then set the hook.


Using plastic worms, crawler, and centipedes, you may want a stiffer rod and a good hook set because of using the single hook.


Action baits, spinner baits and swimming plastics are all quick reaction bites and you usually won't get another chance to set the hook.


When swimming plastic baits and using action baits with single hooks, use a stiffer type of rod and set as soon as you feel a strike.
