Hello Anglers,
If you are fishing in very cold or very warm temperatures,
then the bass won't be as healthy or plentiful, but at the
same time, catching them will be much easier due to their
physical weakness. On the other hand, moderate temperatures
are prime environments in which bass flourish, giving them
the physical strength to fight being caught.
P.S. You can discuss this issue or any other topic in the new
Bass Matters forum. Check it out here...

Finding Bass in Timber
by Chris Stevens
I hear this question all the time, "When can I find bass in
brush and timber?" Well, the answer is: "Almost any time."
For some reason bass just can't resist brush piles. It's
like the brush has magnets drawing the fish to it.
If you have a depth finder you can easily find underwater
brush and you can find some with just your eyes. First when
I am looking for good timber to fish I like to follow creek
channels and look for tree lines beside the channel. If I'm
out in a big lake I like to find points and flats that have
brush piles.
In the summer bass like timber and brush in about 15-25 feet
of water. Fish the brush with deep running crankbaits, then
if that doesn't work switch to a slower moving lure like a
jig or Texas-rigged worm. Keep changing the depth of your
retrieve because a lot of times bass will suspend half way
up the timber.

During late fall and winter bass go to deep timber that is
around 30 to 40 foot deep. Finding bass in deep timber and
brush can be very hard, especially in an area that has a lot
of trees. Your best bet is to fish the edges or find some
isolated clumps. Try jigging the edges and clumps with a
jigging spoon. Start out jigging at 15 feet then work your
way down deeper. Sometimes when we have warm winter days you
can catch bass on surface lures above underwater trees.
When fishing heavy cover you need to have the right tackle.
You will probably need a medium-heavy or heavy action rod,
with 20-30 pound test fluorocarbon line. Don't be afraid to
use your equipment to its maximum capabilities. You really
don't want to have to jump in the water to retrieve a bass
from a brush pile.

Do you believe that dissenting on issues like the war in

FISHING JOKES CORNER
------------------------------------------------------------
One day while driving home from his fishing trip in the
pouring rain, a man got a flat tire outside of a monastery.
A monk came out and invited the man inside to have dinner
and to spend the night. The stranded motorist gladly
accepted the monk's offer.
That evening the man had a wonderful dinner of fish and
chips. He decided to compliment the chef.
Entering the kitchen, the man asked the cook, "Are you the
fish friar?" "No," the chef replied, "I'm the chip monk."
