Seaguar on the Water

To wind down during the offseason, professional anglers spend plenty of time on the water with different approaches and target species.

While fishing around grass is smart, it takes specialized gear, so you spend less time fighting the vegetation and more time-fighting bass.

Part of what makes crankbaits such an effective tool in bass fishing is their ability to match a variety of forage.

Ice fishing season is quickly approaching in many regions and one of the best ways to get in on the action is by targeting first ice panfish.

The salmon species are a well-regarded fish species for both their sport and excellent table fare. While native to the North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, they can be found in the Great Lakes and have legions of fans fishing for them yearly. 

American bass anglers owe a lot to their Japanese counterparts as some of the most significant innovations cross the Pacific Ocean and then slowly enter the tackle boxes of North American anglers. The drop-shot rig is one prime example of something that started in the Far East, gained steam in the western United States and is now a staple throughout the country.
