In this ongoing series we will attempt to inform, teach, and on occasion
entertain our readers with tips and insights on bass fishing. We don’t
plan to write stories like you see in other magazines, although it may happen,
we want to openly exchange strategic techniques and knowledge that we have
learned over the years of tournament fishing. Most of the articles will be
written with the tournament angler in mind. We don’t want to bore you
with information that you probably know already, but there will be some basics
as well as some very important skill sets that should improve your time on
the water.
Do you have an article that would be of interest to our readers?
