Spinnerbaits work really well at catching bass because they create a lot of light and movement under the water, which attracts bass fish. All the light that a spinnerbait creates allows you to attract bass that are within a fairly large radius from where you are casting your line.

Over the last few years, the rivers edge is getting more & more crowded, as fishing pressure increases so does the amount of lures the fish will see in a day. Trying new methods of fishing can sometimes prove to be rewarding.

Going to the lake to fish is a great way to start your day. It is so peaceful out there, but some days it is not because of bass fishing has tournaments and it can be really stressful. Bass fishing is a popular sport, but some things can be controversial.

“the bass has become America's favorite gamefish” (Homer). This is good news and bad news. This could be bad for fishermen because there will be more competition and more boats that pollute the water. “Continuous noise and waves intrude on bass fishing enjoyment” (Homer). This is a result of overfishing and over population, sometimes lakes get over fished because of their reputation for having big fish. Then people from around the world come to fish in it and are disappointed because there is tons of other people already there. “It also spawned the national movement to return bass for others to enjoy catching — especially the lunkers” (homer). Sometimes when lots of people fish the same lake they fish in it for different reasons, for example some people keep the bass they catch to eat and if done enough that can be bad for the population.” All of these are examples of how or why lakes can be

Fishing is a favorite activity of those who live on the lake, or those that visit the area. From sunfish, to crappie, to trophy-sized largemouth or white bass, fishing has become quite the popular sport on Lake Nacogdoches.

I pulled in a twenty three inch walleye on a rattle reel with weak six pond test and a small flathead minnow. We took a lot of photos and we had to let it go because it was in the slot size. We looked at the camera to see if there were any more walleye but there wasn't any. All that was down there was the whole school of perch and a few small northern ranging from about fifteen to twenty inches long.

Constructed by the Corps of Engineers to control the Brazos River Basin flooding problems, it consists of 12,000 surface acres and 110 miles of shoreline with an incredible depth of 124 feet. Vegetation and timber are limited, making this a prime spot for bass to spawn. Hybrids can be caught with live bait used for bottom fishing or with crankbaits or jigs. Largemouth are most common from the end of February through the month of April and respond well to almost anything during their active spawning season. The lake also has a lesser population of smallmouth and white bass, especially in the creeks and coves where the water stays

It's the day before the big Lake Fork bass tournament. John Noah is getting prepared. He has already cleaned up his boat and is rigging up a swimbait on his favorite carrot stick rod with his favorite lews reel on it. Next John got all his tackle together, he had to take his time choosing lures because of the certain depths in the lake. He got some topwaters for shallow water, some deep diving crank baits for deeper water, and some swimbaits and spinnerbaits for medium depth. Then he double checked everything and made sure it was all in the right place.

Locating bass can sometimes prove to be a futile attempt leaving one to wonder, where did they all go? During one such outing at Shakamak State Park located in Jasonville Indiana. I found myself searching shallow and deep, shade and sun, grass and rock, dead-falls and standing timber for any bass willing to take the bait. I had decided that the bass just were not in a feeding mood but I was. I eased into a cove and pondered my predicament over a cold drink and turkey sandwich. I had searched every possible hiding spots in that lake and wondered what it would take to salvage the day after such a long trip to enjoy some of the great bass fishing Shakamak State Park has to offer.

Lake Travis has a little of something for every angler. Winter offers the challenge of hooking white and striped bass before they run up the creeks and rivers during the spring. Spring and fall bring in many largemouth bass fisherman. While they may not run big, fishing for largemouth bass is still a fun experience. With pockets of deep water and lots of places for a fish to hide, the catfish in the lake are plentiful and can run to be very big.

The line goes tight ,then a strike ,then the pole bending down into the water,the line running of the reel.That is when you know it's a big fish and the adrenaline starts to pump then you see the great Largemouth bass leap from the water as it try to get the hook out of its mouth as if its life depended on it .But after a long tiring fight it's over and the giant green largemouth bass is in the boat .It's a giant 5lber .Now that would be a fish to bad on average I only catch 3 lbs however no matter the size fishing is something that everyone can enjoy in her own way. There's a way to fish that everyone can like rather you are on that just likes to cast a line and wait for a fish to come or you are someone that likes to active

Not only do they grow very large in this water but they are also plentiful. Early spring is the best time of year to fish for crappie and they will be found in the creek channels with water ranging around ten to fifteen feet deep. However, during the summer they will move out to the main part of the lake around bridges, brushpiles, stumps, coves, points, wood and other structures in the water.

At New Melones Reservoir, despite the continuing snow melt, the water level dropped another foot last week. The water clarity is good and the temperature is slowly coming up, now averaging 76 to 81-degrees. Trout are showing signs of schooling over deep water and feeding on shad minnows. Trollers have been finding trout at 40 to 60 feet with Speedy Shiners, Needlefish, and ExCel lures. Night fishermen have been doing well by anchoring over fairly deep water and lowering their light to about 20 feet. This attracts plankton, which in turn, attracts shad, which will attract larger fish. Live minnows and nightcrawlers are choice baits. The kokanee numbers may be down, but the quality is good with some going 15 to 18 inches. Bladed lures may work well in deeper water as they create vibration which will attract fish. Scented corn on each hook is important. Big trout winner at Glory Hole Sports was, again, Bob James, of Murphys, with a 2-pound rainbow caught at 55 feet in the main lake. Big catfish winner was John Tennant, of Twain Harte, with an 11-pound, 15-ounce fish caught with sardine bait in the main lake. Bass fishing is good for those who specialize in that type of fishing. Hayden Lee, of Angels Camp, recently caught a 10 pound Largemouth Bass on a topwater lure and he had no net in the boat. He and a friend were able to boat the fish for photos before release.

As I sat next to the loud river that was bursting out of the Sylvan Dam, I noticed the water was in an invariable battle with the rocks, crashing and thrashing against each other like medieval warriors scraping for land. I looked around the edges of the river to see the copiousness of colors from the trees contrasting the sinister blue water. The rapids put off a pleasant and dulcet sound that ultimately ended in me having to relieve some building pressure down the trail. After returning to my riverside view, I noticed that farther down the gleaming river, fish were jumping and flipping like delicious pancakes on a griddle. Making the split-second decision to fish, I sprinted to my 1999 black Chevy Silverado, unlatched the tailgate and snatched all of my waterproof fishing gear. Slipping on my Mossberg max 4 Camo Gander Mountain guided series waders is no easy chore. While looking like the most incapable human being ever I finally managed to slip on the foul scum smelling waders that I so dearly should have washed. Feeling like a professional mountain climber, I started scaling the steep inclement of the river bank. Stomping my insulated waders into the frigid dour murky water, I ventured my path out onto a construction of rocks forming a beautiful approach for spotting fish. I released my light green jointed shad Rapala from my St. Croix Legend Elite spinning rod and casted the shad into pooling backwater just off of my rocky approachment. Feeling the vibration of the shad through my rod, smacking against slime covered rocks and ripping through dense weedy areas. I felt aspirant to not get hung up on a rock resulting in a line break, I successfully retrieved my lure. After casting and reeling my line several times and just started zoning out, I was abruptly startled to hear a ruckus coming from the west side embankment. Glancing quickly back to the water to see where my lure was only to hear a loud splash coming from the same place where I first noticed the ruckus. Three deer, with golden brown fur coated enrolled into the water. Realizing that the leaders of the small herd were both doe’s and a younger buck eagerly followed. The buck had a nice six-point rack, with long tines and a wide spread. He kept his

In Conclusion when you go fishing out on a river or lake remember to bring the right fishing equipment. Stink bait works best on catfish if that's what you're going to catch. But if you're going for bass ten frog poppers or flys work best. Carp like shrimp dipped in tobacco if you're fishing for carp.Now that you know what to use and make sure you have the right gear have a nice time fishing the next time you
