B.A.S.S. Reporter’s Notebook
Change is good, here are some career updates.
How-To
Winter tactics for flipping
Let me say right up front that for most of the country — certainly the northern half, anyway — the dead of winter isn't the best time for flipping and pitching a bait. It's just too darn cold.
