Bass Dem

Over the last couple of years, both the brands and composition of fishing line exploded into something almost out of this world. Anglers have been left to sort out this tangled mess of line themselves. Browsing the fishing line aisle can sometimes make my head spin...

With the new found success of the double fluke rig, aka the donkey rig, other similar approaches are being revisited. One such rig is the double frog rig. This post will examine the double frog rig from a "proof of concept" standpoint...

With the holiday, I had a fishing partner in town, so I opted to take him out on Caddo this afternoon. We didn't hit the water until around noon. Headed west to boat row E, south of row C and idled up to a spot near a fallen cypress tree...

This all started on Twitter of all places. Jason Sealock, the editor for FLW Outdoors Magazine, aka @FLW_Magazine asked followers about using pink baits. Seeing as how I had plenty of time this afternoon, I responded. My tacklebox has two lures in it with pink...

The family of creature baits is a diverse one, full of both revolutionary innovations and subtle modifications...

I also acquired a little bit of knowledge about bass behavior.I actually started fishing from the bank. Several swirls caught my attention this afternoon...

There are generally two styles of shaky head jighead designs. A plastic worm can attach to the head via a spring or a screw of some kind. Alternatively, the plastic bait can be threaded onto the hook and snugly pushed up against the jighead...

What a rough day! I started fishing around 8:30am and didn't quit until around 4pm. Not much to report. Water temps started out at 61 degrees at the launch. Most of the spots I hit hovered around the 63 degree mark. The entire lake was a giant bowl of chocolate milk too...

At the start of day three, this is what the playing field looked like. Judy Wong had a healthy lead with a weight of 30-13. The only person close enough to catch up was Pam Martin-Wells at around 22lbs. Although difficult, breaking 30lbs was still a possibility...
