Fishing Videos from In The Spread
Think about this. It doesn't matter what you fish for, there are a few fishermen that always seem to catch nice fish. The difference with them is they pursue fishing with an open mind. They are not satisfied with what they currently know. They too are looking to other great fishermen for information.

Sculling for Bass with Dwayne Hickey | In The Spread
Going back along time, there were a few smart fellows that could catch big bass on a cane pole and some strong cord. The method was know as "jigger poleing". I knew a man here in middle Tennessee who slayed the bass back in the 50's and 60's using nothing more than a flat bottom boat, a nine foot cane pole with 40 pound test, a few jigs and large minnows. It still works today.

Bass Fishing and Changing Water Temperature
Regardless of the time of year the bass react negatively to falling water temperatures when the deep water is colder than above. I have seen the effects of water temperature for many years now, and falling temps hurt the fishing under these conditions. However, the drops from hot water to cooling temps increase the bite and make timing everything when it comes to getting on the water.
