LONE STAR BIG BASS

Lone Star Big Bass

This Bass Fishing Article is sponsored by: GrandeBass Trophy Hunter Baits; Order yours at http://www.grandebass.com

During the spawn season “Texas Rigging” is a big-bass technique.

A “Texas Rig” is simply rigging a bullet weight with a hook and tipping with a soft plastic lure. This technique is for heavy duty bass fishing. Buffalo are not hunted with a BB gun…Use heavy line and at least a medium-heavy to heavy action rod and line size should be 15 pounds or better. Weight size should be a 3/16 ounce.

Now for the soft plastic:

During the spawn the largemouth has a few threats to the nest site so spotting these threats really gets their attention. Salamanders and crawfish are both mortal enemies of the bass (and also good for them to eat) so select soft plastics to match these.

The selection of soft plastic lizards and craws is abundant. My personal favorites include: Grande Bass mutant and machine. These new baits have new and improved action that bass haven’t seen yet.

Fish your “Texas rig” around cover on spawning areas slowly. Cover stumps, lay-downs, boat docks and vegetation.

“Hawg On!”

…”Texas rigging” soft plastic produces Texas-sized bass!

Benefits of POLARIZED Sunglasses!

Benefits of Polarized Sunglasses

Light reflected from surfaces like a flat road or smooth water is generally horizontally polarized. This horizontally polarized light is blocked by the vertically oriented “polarizers” in the lenses of polarized sunglasses.
The result: A reduction in annoying and sometimes dangerous glare.
For years, fishermen have used polarized sunglasses to reduce reflected glare from the water. Without the glare, it is possible not only to see objects above the water more clearly, but also to see objects below the water relatively clearly as well.

One of the primary fishing tools you cannot be without…A pair of quality polarized sunglasses. By eliminating the glare on the water it is possible to see nesting fish, nesting areas, and anything else you might be looking for in shallow water.
Polarized sunglasses are available in varying lens colors. “Smoke” is good, but “amber” and “yellow” lenses really seem to be more helpful when picking the fish out of cover and shadows.
As with most things, not all polarized sunglasses are created equal. Oakley Sunglasses offers the most advanced technology in polarized optics available on the market today. They offer various styles and colors for practically every sport or activity for which one might need polarized sunglasses.
In addition to fishing, polarized sunglasses are extremely beneficial for driving as well. Visit http://www.oakley.com/ to see their entire collection of sunglasses, sports apparel and accessories for men and women.

Change Colors!

Change Colors

When do I change colors and how will I know to which color I should change?

The answer to those questions are very important because they can mean the difference between an okay day and putting together a great day of bass fishing.

First, “matching the hatch” as fly fishermen say, is simply finding out what the fish are feeding on that day and then throwing it.
One way to find the right color is to watch the water for signs such as wounded bream or a dead shad on the surface of the water . Seeing baitfish like this is a dead giveaway to what color and size of lure to choose . The best way is when a fish spits a baitfish out when you are fighting him in or fish spits something up in your livewell!

Changing to what the fish are actually feeding on will increase your catch right away.

Walking along the shore and picking up rocks or turning over logs to find what color the crawfish are will tell you what color jig or crankbait to use before you even get in the boat.

Watch the shallow waters to see what type of small baitfish are moving around.

One of the standby ways to choose your lure colors without seeing the signs of nature: If it is cloudy or overcast--choose dark colors; If it is bright or partly cloudy--chose shiny and bright color lures.

Finally, what every angler likes to do is to fish his own personal “confidence” color!
When you use your favorite color your lure presentation seems to be much better.

Whatever you do, change up your colors to put more and bigger fish in your boat.

As always… Good Fishing,

Summer Time "WORMING" for BIG BASS!

Professional Angler, Lance Vick, has teamed up with SERVICE VENDING CO. and ACCESS FORD to bring you the following bass fishing tips and techniques:



Summer time “worming” for Big Bass:

Summer time is one of my favorite seasons of the year for one reason:
Summer-time Bass love “Texas rigged” worms!

When big bass arrive at their summertime hangouts such as: Drop-offs and points,
The Texas rig worm is one of the most efficient techniques for catching them…Day or Night.

When fishing a Texas rig worm there are a few tips to help catch more and bigger fish:

First, bass feed on worms by sight so Line Choice is very important. I base my line choice on the type of cover I am fishing around.
Gamma 14lb Edge Fluorocarbon is my first choice for most situations.
Heavier cover I go to 17lb Gamma
Less cover and water that is clear I switch to 12lb Gamma

Some of the benefits of using Fluorocarbon Line include:
Decreased visibility…Fish can’t see fluorocarbon as compared to monofilament
You, the fisherman, can feel the bites better
Fluorocarbon line is heavier than monofilament so the lure sinks faster. Thus, giving your worm better, more realistic action.

Second, Rod Choice is important to get the right hook set so you can power big bass up from the bottom.
A 7 foot med heavy or heavy action rod is the right choice for the job.
As for the business end of the rod… 3/16 and ¼ weights are standard--Adjust weight size according to: Depth, wind speed, and size of worm.

Third, Hook Choice is not to be overlooked:
Extra wide gap hooks are my choice for hooks sizes from 2/0 to 4/0
Choose the heavy wire for better holding power of big fish.

Finally, Color Choices for your worm:
Since there are as many choices of worm colors as there are stars in the sky…I prefer to stick with the basics…Blue fleck, Plum, and Tequila sunrise. Black and blue or Black are my top choices for night fishing.

Worm fishing is good all summer so pick up a worm-rod and have some summer-time fun!

Good Fishing,

Soft Stick Baits...Slow Sink to Trophy Bass!

Professional Angler, Lance Vick, has teamed up with SERVICE VENDING CO. and ACCESS FORD to bring you the following bass fishing tips and techniques:


Slow Sink to a Big Bass

Throughout the spring the most effective technique is a soft stick bait rigged weightless.
Soft stick baits have evolved into the most popular technique for a good reason. Soft stick baits catch fish…Big fish… under all conditions.
Rigging a soft stick bait is quite simple. The top two ways are: “Wacky” and Weightless (This is just like you would rig a worm just minus the weight).
Soft stick baits work because of the slow fall and their tempting wiggle.
Colors and sizes of soft stick baits are many. Experiment with different styles and colors and sizes of soft stick baits until you find your favorite for your body of water.
My favorites for Lake Fork are the Grande Bass rattlesnake and honcho in the watermelon red flake, green pumpkin, water melon seed and black and blue fleck.
My color choices are directly related to weather and water. During sunny days and clear water I go with watermelon red and watermelon seed. On cloudy days in off-colored water I go with green pumpkin and a black and blue fleck.
Fish with weightless soft plastics around cover and in water that is one to six feet deep—in spawning areas.
Focus your efforts in cover such as grass, stumps and lay-downs.
Use medium heavy gear…And be ready to handle Big Bass!

TOP-WATER TIME!

Professional Angler, Lance Vick, has teamed up with SERVICE VENDING CO. and ACCESS FORD to bring you the following bass fishing tips and techniques:


Top-Water Time:

Fall is here and it time for top water bassin'!

The water is cooling down and the bass have begun “feeding up” for the winter.

Shad are moving to the creeks and the bass are right with them.
Look for these feeding frenzies around points and flats in the back of creeks.

Calm days with light wind and clear water are best for poppers.

Line a 6’6 Medium Heavy action rod with 12 to 17lb flourocarbon.

Tie on a Popping lure…Cast and work back with a jerk-jerk-pause retrieve.

When the bass are casing shad place your cast in front of the feeding bass by about a foot in the direction the fish are moving. Then pop the lure as the fish near your lure and…Hang on the fight is on!

Adding a feathered hook to the back of your popper will increase the amount of bites you receive. The added action of a feathered hook is nearly all a bass can stand.

FALL FISHING...GET ORGANIZED!

Professional Angler, Lance Vick, has teamed up with SERVICE VENDING CO. and ACCESS FORD to bring you the following bass fishing tips and techniques:

Get Organized!

Fall is upon us and winter waits in the wings. Bass are in their fall feeding patterns as they prepare for the less active winter months.

There is nothing more fun than catching Fall “schoolies” as they aggressively chase bait fish…
Where does the “Get Organized” part come in? Well, when the bass stop schooling like crazy it can be a bit of a let-down. In order to utilize your time most effectively off the water in winter…when fishing is a bit on the slow side…It might be a good idea to take a look at your tackle box/boxes and make it a point to get organized.
As difficult as it is, some of those old soft plastics may need to find their way to the garbage can…only to make room for better, newer versions mind you!
Take a look at that big ball of spinner baits and make up your mind once and for all to untangle them and decide what stays…and what goes. Plano tackle systems make some great tackle organizers specifically designed to hang those spinner baits and buzz baits so they stay untangled.
Get all of your hooks, weights, small hardware, etc. and put all of them in one location with separate compartments for each.
Organize your line spools neatly so when it’s time to re-spool your reels you can readily get what you need to do the job.
Truth be told, all of these organization tips that should be done off the water will actually save you time the next time you get out on the water…Leaving you with more time to do what you came to do in the first place…FISH!

As Always…Good Fishing,

Pass it On!

Pass It On!

One of the greatest gifts one person can give to another is the gift of his/her time. Since bass fishing is mostly an artful expression of one’s time in the outdoors…it stands to reason that it is a perfect way to share time with someone you care about.

Shoulder to Shoulder…Standing in a boat or sitting on a stump; Using a top-of-the-line rod and reel or just a cane pole and some string; Laughing and talking or just quietly listening; Catching a lot or none at all; Enjoying the fresh air…and the fresh perspective!

Passing the time doing those things that you love is a beautiful thing, but passing the time doing those things that you love…with someone in your life that you love is even better. Taking anyone fishing with you is a great idea, but taking a child fishing is a must!

For your own children you are passing on a timeless legacy of learning to live one moment at a time by enjoying each one to its fullest. Taking someone else’s child fishing may be an opportunity for you to show them a world of beauty that was here all along…that they might have missed if it hadn’t been for you.

Charities such as, Catch-A-Dream—taking terminally ill children hunting and fishing—are terrific ways to volunteer your time and get involved in something incredibly valuable.
Please, pass on the legacy and take a child fishing!

As Always…Good Fishing,
