Tennessee Handle on a Fishing Rod

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 10:10:53 +0000

Tennessee handles on spinning rods are very popular. There is no real seat or mechanical device for attaching the reel. You just tape the reel to the rod handle. This saves weight and you can place the reel anywhere on the handle for balance.

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 10:22:19 +0000

Winter bass tournaments are tough but catching one fish is often enough to place in my club tournaments. Several winter tournament results prove this point but there is always an exception to that rule. A recap of one of my tournaments shows how tough it can be at times.

Ice Fishing - Freshwater Fishing

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 11:32:17 +0000

Ice fishing sounds good, but I have never tried it. The closest I have ever come to ice fishing is standing on my dock and knocking a hole in the quarter-inch thick ice and catching a bluegill through the hole. Someday, maybe I will get to do the real thing, but till then I will read about it from my warm house.

Inactive Winter Bass

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 12:17:38 +0000

Catching bass in the winter is tough. I have a rule of thumb about water temperatures. If the temperature is above 50 degrees F I am confident I can catch bass. If it is between 45 and 50 my hope fades but I think I might get lucky and catch one. If the water temperature is below 45 I don't have much hope at all.

Sixth Sense for Catching Fish

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:00:52 +0000

Do some fishermen have a sixth sense for catching fish? It seems some fishermen always have all the luck and pro fishermen depend on their ability to catch fish to earn a living. Anyone can learn to catch bass but few will make it to the Bassmasters Classic, just like anyone can learn to play baseball but few will ever make it to the World Series.

Ultralight Fishing

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 09:33:31 +0000

When the fishing gets tough the tough get ultralight fishing tackle out. At least that is the way I deal with tough bass fishing conditions. A bass tournament at Clarks Hill showed me how good fishing can be with ultralight fishing tackle.
