The reason is because bream as well as shad, both prime forage for bass, have moved shallow to spawn, and bass are taking advantage of it.   Jim Edlund, Web Editor Thu, 03 May 2012 13:01:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2942 http://www.fishingclub.com/magazine/articles/articletype/articleview/articleid/3377/raise-the-buzzbait-bar#Comments 3 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=50&ModuleID=387&ArticleID=3377 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3377&PortalID=0&TabID=50 http://www.fishingclub.com/magazine/articles/articletype/articleview/articleid/3377/raise-the-buzzbait-bar Without a doubt, tossing topwaters, especially buzzbaits, is a fun way to fish bass, but too many anglers subscribe to the “throw-and-hope” theory. They count on the lure’s gurgle and squeak to turn on bass and bring them in. Of course, that can and does happen at times. But to elevate your buzzbaiting from a technique that’s always fun to one that’s always fun and often productive, requires the firing of substantially more cerebral neurons. bgustafson Thu, 29 Mar 2012 16:59:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3377 http://www.fishingclub.com/magazine/articles/articletype/articleview/articleid/3366/small-stream-bronzebacks#Comments 10 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=50&ModuleID=387&ArticleID=3366 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3366&PortalID=0&TabID=50 http://www.fishingclub.com/magazine/articles/articletype/articleview/articleid/3366/small-stream-bronzebacks With light tackle, the right techniques, and a little bit of knowledge, skinny water smallmouths can have you salivating like a Doberman over a Chihuahua. pcosgrove Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:50:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3366 http://www.fishingclub.com/magazine/articles/articletype/articleview/articleid/3325/go-petite-for-cold-water-smallies#Comments 2 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=50&ModuleID=387&ArticleID=3325 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3325&PortalID=0&TabID=50 http://www.fishingclub.com/magazine/articles/articletype/articleview/articleid/3325/go-petite-for-cold-water-smallies Learn more about petite presentations that yield epic cold-water smallie action.
