http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3844/top-ten-items-to-keep-in-your-boat Anglers put so much thought into what lures and rods they are going to bring on their next fishing trip, they usually forget about the essential items that all anglers should keep in their boat.  Take a look at my top ten items all anglers should keep in their boat, so simple problems can be avoided and your day fishing, stays that way! bgustafson Thu, 09 May 2013 20:09:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3844

time in my boat is becoming a common occurrence.  I get asked numerous times what I like about my boat and how I have it set up and organized. bgustafson Fri, 12 Apr 2013 18:39:00 GMT

during the winter months, their boats and lines never stay dry throughout the year, but for anglers like myself up in Minnesota, I have an “off-season.” bgustafson Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:35:00 GMT

http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3620/fall-bassin-lure-selection Fall has many distinct memories for different individuals, some think of the leaves changing colors, others think football, but for me I think BIG BASS!  With cooler temperatures, less boat traffic and grouped up bass that are feeding heavily before winter, fall is a great time to get out and catch a lot of bass that are big. bgustafson Thu, 04 Oct 2012 12:52:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3620

hangers so they stay dry and have air flow on them.  This will help prolong their life and keep them from smelling musty next season. pcosgrove Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:22:00 GMT

http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3586/on-the-prowl-in-the-shallows Every year anglers are always looking to upgrade or add something new and hi-tech to their boats.  The electronics on boats now were unheard of and just dreamt about years ago.  One of the newest items and commonly sought after accessory that anglers, especially bass fisherman want on their boat is a shallow water anchoring system. bgustafson Tue, 21 Aug 2012 14:28:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3586

http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3565/slopping-for-big-bass Slop as it is referred to by anglers, is when vegetation forms a large blanket like coating over the water.  There are several forms of vegetation that can create these vast regions of slop fields.  Lily pads that were once scattered across the water have taken an area by storm and now have other forms of vegetation filling in the open water pockets that once existed.  Duck wart is another example of vegetation that can make up some prime areas for slop fishing.  These areas look like a sea of green floating a top the water.  Duck wart can either be very thin or thick, based on how much vegetation is bunched up below.  The other forms of slop are either grass lines that been folded over and are now lying across the top of the water and the last sloppy area are areas where the wind blows any form of debris into a secluded pocket or corner.  bgustafson Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:38:00 GMT

http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3528/video-games-for-bass The electronics that are on an angler’s boat today may look like a big screen TV when passing by

http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3511/dredging-the-bottom-for-big-bass A Carolina-rig is a great technique for anglers to use to target deep water structure that is holding bass.  A C-Rig as it is commonly referred to is also a great way to determine what the bottom content is and what structure is available on the bottom of the lake, which is why tossing a Carolina rig is a great way to dredge the depths of any body of water. bgustafson Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:49:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3511

http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3478/staying-organized-and-ready-to-fish  Ever since I began fishing, I have always kept my tackle organized and in a very easy to find manner. Today, as a tournament fisherman I have found that an organized tackle box is one of the most important things to help maximize your time and efficiency on the water. bgustafson Mon, 04 Jun 2012 13:56:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3478
