Russ wanted me to remember that he has about all the froggie lures and worms that Bass Pro sells in their new Port St Lucie store, but now also wants an Extreme Bait-Caster I loaned him for a morning of fishing for lunkers!
Fishing buddy Russ Barrus, a Veteran Military man as well as big bass angler popped a good one today! Russ remarked that when he releases this fish he’s heading to the candy store-A Bass Pro Store in PSL.
Aptravelnews-New Fishing Product–March 8th Port St Lucie, West-FL.—When it comes to bait casting reels, every angler would agree that quality and simplicity, but also brawn, besides the ability in having great finesse, is highly sought after by not only tournament anglers but weekend warriors as well! So, Bass Pro Shops has come out with another great reel that fits the bill described above in its Extreme Baitcast Reel. Take a look at the images attached to this post, this 6-pound largemouth pulled as hard as a 6-pounder can especially in weed choked waters, but it came ashore nicely when handled by this 12-pound test fitted reel. The settings on drag, the large easy to manipulate star drag, the casting tension pressure used with the anti-reverse Cast Control Knob, he Powerlock Anti-reverse is a special bearing that only lets the handle turn forward. The reel is tight, but nimble! There is a Dual Breaking System and very important on a quality reel such as this is a 1-PC Aluminum Frame & and Aluminum Spool. The reel handles 12-pound test line like a champ and there is no bass alive that can break the line on this reel if the drag is properly set. The Extreme Bait-Caster sells for under a hundred bucks, and I’ll leave it to you when you visit Bass Pro to find out how much lower than $100 it is.

APtravelnews-Port St. Lucie, FL.–February 20th,— According to Kevin Van Dam, a big winner at the Bass Masters Tournaments, the following Power techniques and baits will work all four seasons ..if you’re using the right baits—Jerkbait “This is my favorite choice for lakes that have clear water, says Van Dam! “Bass are focused on shad during the winter, and I prefer a suspending jerkbait for fishing around vertical structure, like main lake bluffs and bridges, this time of year. When the water is colder, the shad suspend in the water column and if I see shad dying and gulls diving on them, that tells me the suspending jerkbait is the best choice. I will snap it a few times and always experiment with the action until I know how they want it.
Red Eye Shad The lipless crankbait can be dynamite on cold, lowland reservoirs or natural lakes, especially if there is vegetation. It’s very efficient for covering a lot of water. However, I do slow the retrieve down and keep the bait in contact with the bottom.
Flat-sided crankbait There’s something about a flat-sided crankbait that neutral bass react to better in cold water than they do to rounded-body lures. My favorite is the Strike King KVD 1.5 Flat that has a long bill and no rattles. I love to fish this bait parallel on channel swings close to the bank in major creeks and even along bluffs, riprap and laydowns. I throw it on 10-pound line and it runs about 10 feet deep. It has a subtle action they can’t stand when the water is cold, so use a steady, slow-to-medium retrieve.
SwimbaitI really like the Strike King Shadalicious in either the 4 1/2- or 5-inch sizes, opting for the larger one in lakes with big bass and big shad. These baits are very efficient for covering deeper zones of lakes where bass hold off main lake structure.Also, hollow-body baits have a paddle tail that kicks and moves a lot of water, which is very important in stained water. And, like flat baits, they wobble seductively from side to side.
Blade baits and jigging spoons Blade baits are good for fishing edges of deeper flats. I cast and work it similar to the way I fish the Red Eye Shad, except the blade bait is more efficient in deeper water. Use a lift-and-drop retrieve, feeling the good vibration from the lure each time you lift. And remember: both blade baits and the Red Eye work best this time of year on heavier line because it slows the fall and reduces problems with it burying in the grass. The jigging spoon is a bait I primarily fish vertically. Our electronics are so good that, while graphing creek channels, you’ll see pods of bait and mark fish around them. With the spoon, you can fish through the bait. It’s even good along timber and doesn’t snag as much as you think. If it does, jiggle it and it shakes free.”
Note**Bottom line is; Bassmaster anglers fish for a living and have far more experience going after largemouth bass than the average angler. So, we believe following some of these techniques will help you catch the “bigun!” Also, remember bass are fun to catch, but release them, crappie and perch are much better eating!!!
