FEATURES

. Shallow water bassin
Largemouth bass can be caught shallow almost throughout the fishing season and is always worth a bit of perseverance.

. Buzzbaits
It is something that has been around forever, but how many anglers actually use them?

. How to take care of your tackle
Here are some small things you can do, or should not do, to get the most out of your tackle for years to come.

. Crankbait basics
No matter where or when you go fishing; a little sunshine on your face always makes the day feel better, but more importantly, make sure that you know what the fish will be doing, and where they’re more than likely to be because of the sunshine.

. Log jam bassing
The thicker the better and the more shelter on offer the higher the chances are there’s going to be fish hanging around there

.
Open water bassing
This aspect alone puts most anglers off immediately and on open waters with no real visual indicators of cover, where does one even start to cast?

.
Stertswaaiers
Stertswaaiers kan die hele jaar gehengel word en is werklik ‘n tegniek wat geweldig baie, veral in Suid-Afrika, baie afgeskeep word.

. Muddy water bassin
With all of the elements we face as bass anglers, perhaps the one that can make or break fishing success the quickest is stained water conditions, especially muddy water!

. Challenging challenges
This was the perfect opportunity to play around with a bit of a challenge and of course, remind my wife who the better fisherman is.
