Going to the Bank

Going to the Bank

No boat, no problem. While many bass fishing techniques center on presentations made from a boat, savvy anglers can have success while fishing from the bank, too. In this episode, we explore tactics and tackle to help bank anglers get more hookups.

Take a Swim - For Real

Soft-plastic swimbaits catch bass for two main reasons: They cover water, and they imitate baitfish well enough that bass want to eat them. But if you want to take your swimbait presentations to the next level, consider some of the ultra-realistic versions now available to anglers.

Mega Worms

Mega Worms

Most plastic worms used for bass fall in the 6- to 8-inch range. But in some cases, bigger is better. And by bigger, we're talking worms that are a full 12 inches or even longer. These are mega-size worms, and fishing them can result in mega-size bass.

Give Me No Lip

When most anglers think of a crankbait, they picture a hard lure with a plastic lip at the front that enables the bait to dive to a certain depth in the water. But some crankbaits don't need a lip to get down into the water column and draw strikes from bass. These lipless crankbaits offer key advantages in some situations, making them more versatile than their conventional counterparts.

Fishing

Sling a Blade

Fishing

Sling a Blade

When bass move offshore after the spawn and as the water temperature rises, they go deep or suspend along humps or other bottom contours. They often target schools of baitfish such as shad. In this situation, one lure that excels at both matching the forage and reaching the bass is the blade bait.

The No-Fail Neko Rig

The No-Fail Neko Rig

They may not imitate any type of forage closely, but stick-style worm baits are proven bass catchers. There is just something about their profile and wiggly, lifelike action in the water that the fish can't resist. Several rigging techniques have been developed to play up this action, and the Neko rig is one that's especially effective at finessing bass from both shallow and deep water.

Protein Powered Ultimate Season Preparation

For Game and Fish Magazine editor John Taranto, there really is no off-season when it comes to chasing big whitetails. In the big buck rich Midwest, that can mean plenty of sweat equity spent moving deer stands, clearing shooting lanes, hanging trail cams, improving deer habitat and more. As the heat of the day builds, Taranto is definitely making sure he's got a good pair of work gloves and brush pants, stays hydrated with plenty of water, and has plenty of protein to fuel an energetic and focused day getting ready for fall hunting season. That means putting the convenience of Old Trapper Beef Jerky into his pack, anything from the tried and true Old Fashioned blend to Teriyaki, Peppered and even Hot & Spicy flavors for a sizzling day in the Sunflower State woods.

Take a Swim

Anglers often think of jigs as bottom-bouncing baits—and they usually are. But the swim jig is a different case. This type of jig is designed for a steady horizontal retrieve, and it can produce big bites from fish lurking around cover without touching the bottom at all. Guiding a swim jig through bushes, brush piles, laydowns and other shallow woody cover is a fun power-fishing technique that can work throughout the warmer months of the year.
