Read more...Bye Bye Arm Pain
If you are reading this you are probably pretty serious about fishing. Secondary to that, you probably at one time or another have had elbow/forearm pain due to the repetitive motions required in all our fishing skills. That puts us on common ground. Where I stand in a somewhat unique position lies in the fact that I took some pretty serious anatomy classes in college to the tune of hovering over dead bodies and books for many hours and dissecting human muscles, joints, nerves and organs. Although my life took a different turn and I fish for a living, I still use the valuable information...

Dr. Ryan House, of In Motion Spine and Joint Center in Spring Hill, TN, not only makes his living by treating injuries to the joints and soft tissues of the body, but he’s also a bass fisherman. I can vouch for his expertise. He’s not only a good friend, but he’s also the guy I see when my body needs a little “tune-up”. We often exchange exercise-related ideas, pontificate upon the ills of modern living, discuss sports specific risk factors, rehab strategies, etc… The man has done his homework and he has some homework for you too.

Topwaters are synonymous with fall bass fishing. But as leaves begin to change color and eventually fall to the ground and as air temperatures begin to dip, the effectiveness of topwater baits is put into question.

"I've done a lot of fall and spring bass fishing over the years and 52 degrees is the magic number below which the bass become bottom oriented as opposed to chasing anything." Wolak is quick to point out that, especially...

Pristine waterway offers something for anglers, travelers and history buffs alike 02.Nov.2011 by David A. Brown Long before European arrival, the Iroquois Indians hunted and fished New York’s bountiful 1000 Islands region. In fact, the region was so special for the Iroquois that they had a unique name for it, calling it "Manitonna," or "Garden of the Great Spirit." Today not much has changed with one of the most pristine waterways in the nation as visiting anglers can still enjoy cornucopia of angling abundance awash with ambient gems in one of upstate New York's most spectacular scenic regions. As...

Take a look at all your rod and reel combos. Most of us could probably point to a couple that we enjoy using more than others. To what can we attribute this?… According to Kelly Watson of Pinnacle Fishing that answer is “balance”. Balance isn’t the only goal, though. Watson says that “lightness and balance are the ultimate goals.” If you nail both, you have achieved a result that is as close to perfection as possible. Maybe that’s why Pinnacle’s flagship rods are called Perfecta. I can attest to the name’s implication. I own a 7′ Perfecta (701CAMCB) paired...
