I was trying my best to look like I knew what I was doing. I was casting over a pod of trout that you could easily call “monsters” by anyone's standards and in the clear, cold water I swear I could see the biggest one in the back of the pod smiling at me. He wore a sort of fishy smirk, like he knew I didn't have a shot at tempting him or any of his buddies into biting. bgustafson Wed, 27 Jun 2012 18:38:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3514 http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3511/dredging-the-bottom-for-big-bass#Comments 8 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=94&ModuleID=464&ArticleID=3511 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3511&PortalID=0&TabID=94 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/3504/get-what-you-pay-for#Comments 1 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=94&ModuleID=464&ArticleID=3504 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3504&PortalID=0&TabID=94 http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3504/get-what-you-pay-for My first pair of fishing waders looked like something out of a 1970's horror movie. You know, some guy standing on a pier cleaning fish, wielding a huge knife – his brown rubber waders covered in blood? pcosgrove Tue, 19 Jun 2012 17:30:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3504 http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3501/texas-swing#Comments 0 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=94&ModuleID=464&ArticleID=3501 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3501&PortalID=0&TabID=94 http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3501/texas-swing  The Texas part of the Elites Series was not a good thing for me, Toledo Bend was the lake. Summertime angling on this historic lake deals with structure fishing. This is my favorite way to fish. You sure could not tell by my bottom of the barrel finish in this event.  The benefit of the trip was making new friends and seeing old friends at the Skeeter Owners Tournament held at Lake Fork. bgustafson Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:48:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3501 http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3499/wanted-fishing-buddy#Comments 2 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=94&ModuleID=464&ArticleID=3499 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3499&PortalID=0&TabID=94 http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3499/wanted-fishing-buddy  Anyway, we fished all day that day – nearly 12 hours of hard-core bass fishing. We caught fish too! Bass, bream and even a few crappie maybe. It's been a while now since that first trip and it's hard to remember the exact number or size of the fish. I do remember one thing though... bgustafson Thu, 14 Jun 2012 14:34:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3499 http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3481/the-trouble-with-fishing#Comments 8 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=94&ModuleID=464&ArticleID=3481 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3481&PortalID=0&TabID=94 http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3481/the-trouble-with-fishing  Ah, fishing! That most relaxing and pastoral of past-times. A hobby, a sport, and a recreation all wrapped up in one. Who could ever possibly lament such a thing? I could. I'll tell you why, too. bgustafson Tue, 05 Jun 2012 17:20:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:3481 http://www.fishingclub.com/features/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/3478/staying-organized-and-ready-to-fish#Comments 0 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=94&ModuleID=464&ArticleID=3478 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=3478&PortalID=0&TabID=94 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
