Pete Ponds’ no-fail fall strategy

Fishing for fall bass can be confusing. These fish migrate back into creeks this time of year, following schools of shad and feeding ravenously to build energy reserves for winter.

Master Series on the Art of the Swimbait with Byron Velvick (Lesson 4)

Winter bass and swimbaits are not often talked about in the same conversation. That's too bad because there's a lot of unexplored territory out there.

Our freedom to ‘Take :10’

One of the things I'm really excited about is the new Bassmaster.com Take :10 video series. Basically BASS filmed a ton of 10-second instructional spots to give anglers a quick look at tips and techniques they need to know. It's the kind of stuff that'll help you guys catch more fish every time you go out on the water.
