Savvy fishermen know downrigging is one of the best ways to control the depth of their fishing lure-short of Savvy fishermen know downrigging is one of the best ways to control the depth of their fishing lure-short of dropping anchor. Ideally, of course, you want to be able to keep your lure in the depth range where you want it-at the depth where your fish finder is indicating the fish are located-at any given point in time. You can become quite good at doing this after some trial and error, a bit of record keeping and lots of patience. I like to use the best. I have used other brands but was never satisfied with their performance or durability. Most of them fell apart too soon or rusted[..]

This rig is good for fishing a lot of deep structure when searching for bass. You rig this worm as follows: Take a light wire hook (2/0 or 3/0 depending on size of worm) and rig a worm weed less. Tie a piece of lighter line from 18 inches to 3 feet in length to the worm. The length depends on your preference and to a degree on the conditions. To the free end of the line, tie on a barrel swivel. To the free end of the line from your rod, add a weight. After assessing what type of structure and depth you are going to be fishing, decide how much weight you are going to need. The way to look at it is, get away with the lightest weight possible; usually throw between a 3/8 to ½[..]

If there is such a thing as complete opposites in bass lures, fishing with a crankbait could meet that description when compared to fishing with a jig. While effective fishing with a jig can be described as slow and covering only a limited area. Fishing with a crankbait is fast paced and permits you to cover large areas of water. While a jig depends upon the anglers to create its action, the crankbait has built in action as a result of the "lips" or bills on the front of the lure which cause diving to occur as the bait is retrieved. By using lips of different sizes the angler can control the depth at which he is fishing. The larger the lip the deeper the crankbait will dive when[..]

glers think the Catfish is an ugly beast, and perhaps they're right, but no one who has ever caught one thinks this way. A truly extraordinary animal, no freshwater fish in Britain would fight harder, but yet, on the bank they are the most docile of creatures and can be handled by even a child. Give catfishing a try, you won't regret it... Catfish Territory Catfish live in only about 50 waters in England, most of which hold only very small stocks. Nearly all of the best catfish venues for the beginner, ones with large stocks of catfish of all sizes up to 30lb, are in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & Hertfordshire.

An easy way to quickly improve your bass fishing results is to understand the feeding ladder of bass. As any bass fisherman knows minnows, shad and other small fish are a staple of the bass diet. Any one who watching these small fish circling a fishing light at night has also seen the larger fish that lurk on the outer borders of these circling bait fish feeding upon them as they pass by. A better understanding of the feeding habits of the bait fish will make it easier for you to locate the bass that feed upon them. The basic source of food for the smaller fish which the bass feed on is the animal form of plankton called Zooplankton. Where this Zooplankton is found the bait fish will be[..]

Spinner baits in my opinion are the best all-season lures for catching largemouth bass. In the spring, they are especially effective when bass are in weedy shallows. Their safety-pin design helps by reducing snags in the weeds, because the bent shaft runs interface for the upturned hook. This allows you to cast them into thick weed beds, brush or timber without always getting hung up. They can also be used to fish in deep water near drop-offs as well as on the surface with the blade nearly breaking water. When fishing for largemouth's, most anglers use 1/4 - to 1-ounce spinner baits. They're two basic designs for spinner bait, single spins, which have only one blade, and tandem-spins,[..]

The best course of action or the most obvious area to fish sometimes isn't clear and you should consider your alternatives. The following paragraphs should help clue you in to some areas of a lake that are being overlooked. One of my favorite times to fish is in the fall for lunker smallmouth bass. A great lake for fall smallmouth is Kagawong Lake on Manitoulin Island in Ontario, now fishing sand bars will work well on most lakes and rivers. Now the north east end of the lake has a large sand bar area just south and to the west it drops off to much deeper water. Sand bars are common in most lakes and rivers, but for the best results the ones adjacent to deep water produce great action.[..]
