FEATURES
. Migration routes explained
Migration routes don’t have to run from deep to shallow, let me explain…
. Sight fishing for bass
Sight fishing in clear water is a favourite tactic when they are still on the beds
. Die Heldesaal – Rick Clunn
Met meer as 500 toernooie en ‘n 100 top tien posisies is dit nie ‘n wonder dat Rick Clunn as die beste swarthengelaar van alle tye aangewys is nie.
. Getting the best out of the thick of it
Whether we are tackling the heavy, thick stuff from land or craft either way we must accept that sometimes to get the best results we will have to just perceive and get stuck in there.
. Revealed underwater cover
I cannot count the number of times I have been bass fishing over the years when I’ve thought to myself if only I could clearly see exactly what is going on under the water.
. Birth of the Ultimate Fishing Chart - UltraHF Mosaic
While FFS is the number one technology for finding suspended fish, it is nowhere near as good as sidescan for identifying cover and structure.
.Cranking for smallmouth bass in muddy water
We went back to Arlington where we fished for smallmouth bass that have started their annual migration from deep to shallow water.
. How to choose bass fishing line
Choosing the right fishing line is crucial for bass fishing success, as it directly affects your ability to detect bites, cast accurately, and land fish efficiently.
. Die broeiseisoen is verby. Wat nou?
Die na-broeiseisoen kan beslis ‘n kopkrapseisoen wees omrede swartbaars reeds wegbeweeg het uit die areas waar hulle die vorige week nog was.
. The A to Z about carp fishing
How to become a better angler.
