How-To

Bass fishing and the 10,000-hour rule

Disqualified at Cayuga

Biffle dreams of Classic homecookin’

The 2013 Bassmaster Classic on Oklahoma’s Grand Lake is only 65 miles from Tommy Biffle’s home but he enters the Ramada Championship on Oneida Lake on the fragile bubble of a Classic berth.

Barone: Once lost, now FOUND

Gear

Terminator Titanium Rig

Like Terminator spinnerbaits, the arms of this rig are made of patented SnapBack Titanium, which is said to never need re-bending because it holds its shape perfectly regardless of the abuse you subject it to.

Touring Sackets Harbor

After the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Northern Open on Cayuga Lake, I went to Sackets Harbor, N.Y., to spend some time enjoying the sights and sampling the fishing on Lake Ontario.
