Science: Fishing Logs
When I first started fishing halfway seriously, even before I “became” a bass angler, I started keeping a fishing log or diary. I recorded the usual stuff like the weather that day, what I caught and on what, baits used and sizes of any notable catches, even moon phase. When computers came along, companies started making electronic [...]
Line Hum a Factor in Cranking?
Been going over some BassGold data for Lake Fork (a popular request), saw in an article on the PAA tourney there in 2008 iwhere Kelly Jordon – who headed the winning team – said this about using 12-pound fluorocarbon to crank Fork’s heavy timber: Any heavier and they wouldn’t bite it. You can still get [...]

David Dudley Practiced 900 Miles Away!
I missed a Dock Talk on Bassin’Fan last week. Found it reeeeeeeeeal interesting. Here it is (abbreviated): David Dudley [has] been fishing Smith Mountain Lake in his home state of Virginia. The lake fishes a lot like Ouachita, he said, so he’s trying to gauge the state of the bite in anticipation for next week’s [...]
