Tackling Turnover to Catching Fall Footballs

The most popular weekend pastimes of autumn are Sunday football and hunting. While majority of fishermen have already winterized their boats, the most serious anglers remain on water, utilizing the fall season for targeting their biggest fish of the year.

By now 90% of the entire lake’s bass population is living in 10% of the lake, in and around wintering locations. The best peak period of autumn occurs after the completion of

By Andrew Ragas Every year, our northern lakes swarm with mayflies. The hatch is considered a negative and detriment to summertime bass fishermen who fail to produce good results. While the lake’s entire food chain becomes temporarily imbalanced from this natural forage abundance, and fixated on it, the prevalence of mayflies rising from the lake’s

Meteorology Bass

By Andrew Ragas  Meteorology is the study of atmospheric science, the calculated process in which scientists and weather experts forecast and predict future and incoming weather. Meteorology influences fishing every day and in every way, from all fish and underwater life to our own fishing activity. When preparing for a day’s fishing trip planning according
