Swing For The Fences
Monday, 03 December 2018

Small Streams, Big Bass
Thursday, 07 June 2018
By Andrew Ragas We fish our flowing waters by wading, kayaking, bank fishing or floating them with small craft. At some point in our angling careers, we likely cut our teeth on fishing small rivers and streams due to their availability, affordability, aesthetics, and convenience to fish.

Swim Jigs, Northwoods Style
Tuesday, 17 April 2018
By Andrew Ragas Bass fishing can become as technical and complicated as we make it. Often times, anglers become too fixated on unnecessary extras rather than focusing on the presentation and strategy at hand.
