FEATURES
. Early autumn tips
It’s this time of the year that bass are changing their ways and you as the angler will do the same.

. Fishing from a float tube
Float tubes offer anglers the ability to access hard-to-reach areas where bass may be lurking. Here are some advantages and tips for bass fishing from float tubes:

. How to outsmart autumn bass
If one can get to terms with the seasonal change now, you will certainly stay on the fish, with great success, right up and into winter.

. Fly tying for bass

. Tackling rip-rap sections from the bank
One area that I find to be very attractive to larger specimens of bass around this time of the year is no doubt the humble rip-rap sections.

. Bass angler etiquette
Each and every one of us who holds bass angling close to our hearts is an ambassador for the sport. So, what does bass angling etiquette actually entail?

. Die Heldesaal - Darrel J. Lowrance
