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.

Combating Fall Turnover

By Andrew Ragas The lake is dirty and discolored, with remnants of weeds and detritus floating across the surface. Water clarity is mysteriously pea green and soupy as if an algae bloom broke out.

Live Bait Bass: Matching The Hatch The Easy Way

By Andrew Ragas Most bass anglers will cringe at the concept of fishing with live bait, let alone the thought of ever using it. Putting the ego aside, as water temperatures at your favorite bodies of water cool down to below 50 degrees in mid to late fall, fishing with live bait is an excellent

Frog Fishing 101
