FEATURES
. Get to the point!
Points are a must on any given fishing day, so it pays huge dividends knowing how to fish them effectively.

. Cold water bassing
Understanding the seasonal patterns, and how fish respond to weather is what the angler must know and the knowledge will improve you as a bass angler. 

. Brush Hogs
This creature bait can be presented in many ways but it is the diversity in movement that makes the Brush Hog a very versatile bait.

. What is today’s pattern?
As you know the variety and depth of lure choices at a bass angler’s disposal is infinite so where do you start?

. Tactics to beat low water slumps 
Catching bass is never easy otherwise we would all be pro anglers. However, there are ways to increase your bag limits and mistakes an angler can avoid to get the most out of each session.

. Winter bass kayaking
Bass fishing from any kayak is a lot of fun and always an adventure.

. Fishing trees
The success in fishing trees definitely lies in your choice of bait.

. Hoe meer “Haas” hoe minder spoed
Baie hengelaars is egter in die duister oor watter tegnieke om te gebruik wanneer daar stadiger gehengel moet word.

. Soft plastic worms
The bottom line is that they have probably accounted for more caught bass over the years than any other style of soft plastic.
