X-2 Deep-Diving Crankbait
Designed to help you catch more bass, ABT Lure Company’s “Next Generation” X-2 lure also significantly reduces resistance upon retrieve, eliminating the normal fatigue associated with fishing a deep-diver for a long period of time. […]
Bass Fishing
The One-Two Punch
It’s great when that first cast meets with aggressive reception, but often, it takes some dialing in to determine the fish’s preference. Notwithstanding the oft-proven merits of junk fishing, a handful of examples show us that certain lure pairings hold particularly strategic benefit. […]

Rusty gun syndrome
We were swapping out units: I was getting a newer take-home unit from one of the other guys. He was getting another unit assigned to him by the chief in our small-town police department.
We had just been issued brand new riot guns, and I was pleased when I recommended to the chief we get Remington 870 12-gauge pumps, and he agreed.
They came to us brand-new in the box, black injection-molded stocks and pump forearms, extended magazine tubes, chambered for 2¾- or 3-inch shells.

Like a boxer setting up his opponent with jabs and then sneaking in a body shot or a Major League pitcher throwing the changeup, there’s more to successful bass fishing than randomly grabbing lures and hoping for the best.

Delta dominance
Boy, am I pumped or what! Just about the time I thought I had run out of words to use in this crappie column, someone sends me a picture of some recently caught Eagle Lake slabs. […]

It’s leisure time
By this time of year, most hunters are worn out. Deer hunters have been in the woods since way back in October. Bowhunters are tired, deer dogs are thin as wheat wafers, even the deer are glad the season has finally come to a close. […]
Bass Fishing

This month, I’m picking Lake Ross Barnett, near Jackson. To find the bass, we’ve got to shrink the lake and concentrate on where they’re most likely to be and the lures they’re most likely to take. This month, bass have spawning on their minds, and they’re looking for warm, shallow water, and structure in the water in those two areas. […]
