Important Knots For Bass Anglers

Posted on February 26, 2022March 3, 2022 By PracticalAngler 1 Comment on Important Knots For Bass Anglers

Ever Feel Like You’re Missing That Special Fishing Knot?

How many times have you been out on a bass fishing trip facing a specific situation where a certain knot is required but couldn’t remember how to tie it?

I’m sure it has happened to each of us at some point and what happens?

Rapid Spring Warm-ups and Tough Bites

Posted on February 24, 2022March 3, 2022 By PracticalAngler No Comments on Rapid Spring Warm-ups and Tough Bites

For most bass anglers, warming trends in the spring provides much needed relief and even flat-out excitement after tough fishing conditions during the long winter months.

As the slow warming conditions of spring  start to rev-up the bass’ metabolism, they typically start making their way to shallow water cover and structures and put on the feed bag. When the bass start the spring chomp, most of us start probing transition areas and the shallows with a variety of horizontal baits like lipless cranks, jerkbaits, square bills, chatterbaits and spinnerbaits. As  long as the water temp increase remain steady, so does the springtime feeding ritual as the bass getting ready for the spawn.

We anglers get even more excited when Mother Nature really turns up the thermostat thinking the bass feed will go into hyper-drive. Trouble is the ultra rapid warm-up often triggers just the opposite and the bass bite almost comes to a screeching halt.
