    Hooking Bass with Lake Fork Trophy Lures Frog Tail Hooks

    Author: Brad Wiegmann
    Lake Fork Trophy Lures Frog Tail Hook rigged on a Booyah Pad Crasher (hollow belly frog)Are there any bass out there? Does any bass care? Does any angler wonder? Does any angler care? Will this hook break the spell? Oh, this empty hook is alone again; when will lady luck strike again? I guess I'm just fooling myself again. My hollow body frog has come back empty again.

    Maximum Protection For Your Boat With StormPro Boat Cover

    Author: Brad Wiegmann
    A frost covered Classic Accessories StormPro boat cover

    Day one it was 68 degrees out. The sun was shining and birds singing. It was the perfect day to take the bass boat out fishing. Rolling up the new boat cover to take it off your boat you could see that the high strength polyester canvas was built for all kinds of weather. After fishing all day, the StormPro™ boat cover was rolled back on the boat and buckles snapped into place. Day two it was 28 degrees out. A thin layer of frost covered the entire tarp. This wasn’t going to be a warm day for fishing, but the weatherman promised it would warm up to mid-50 with no wind. It was going to be another good day for fishing. Rolling up the boat cover you could hear the crunching of the frost against the boat cover. Day three it had again warmed up, but was raining. It was a cold rain so I decided to run some errands instead of fishing. In three days time, my StormPro boat cover had gone through some dramatic weather conditions without allowing any frost or water into my boat.

    Doodling Brass and Glass with Don Iovino

    Author: Brad Wiegmann

    Brass and glass

    Every angler loves to go to lakes that are renowned for their trophy sized bass. Not surprisingly, anglers usually use heavy line, stiff rods, and reels that resemble wenches when fishing these reservoirs. Its power fishing and anglers love it; however these same reservoirs can turn off quickly by cold fronts and angling pressure leaving power fishermen wondering what to do. The only viable solution is to downsize and finesse fish for them. Finesse fishing techniques require lighter line, smaller reels, and more flexible fishing rods than used in power fishing. Professional angler, Don Iovino, one of the pioneers of finesse fishing brought doodling to the spotlight years ago catching bass when all other techniques failed to produce fish. That same technique continues to catch bass today, but is often overlooked by anglers who want to power fish.

    Don’t Be a Hater; Be a Checker with Frabill Grip-N-Check

    Author: Brad Wiegmann

    Lake Ouachita fishing guide Chris Darby using the Frabill Grip-N-Check to see if his crappie is a keeper.Is it long enough? How many times have you heard your fishing buddy say that to you out crappie fishing? It seems like every lake we go to has different length limits on their crappie. Unless it’s a haven for monster crappie you got to check them before putting them in the livewell. Like most crappie anglers, you may have more than one rod out with a lure or live bait on. You don’t have time to be messing with measuring a crappie flopping around. Don’t be a hater; just get yourself a Frabill Grip-N-Check fish measurer.

    New One Welcomed on Arrival

    I guess you can say that we couldn’t be any happier than we are today. After the terrible loss of my best fishing buddy in a fishing accident on July 30, 2011, on Beaver Lake, I have been somewhat in a tail spin even having trouble focusing or having the desire to go fishing some days. I guess everyone deals with loss differently, but life goes on and you have to make the most of everyday no matter what life brings your way. Like Forest Gump would say, “Life’s like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get”.  However my box of chocolates came with a knock on the door and wrapped carefully inside a tube. That’s right, I am proud to announce the newest member of our family came into our lives today. Strangely enough it wasn’t a stork that delivered him, but FedEx.

    Frabill Combo Kit

    Author: Brad Wiegmann

    Frabill Combo KitAnglers love their tools. They cut, clip, snip, chop, sear, and slash fishing line; in addition to squeezing, pulling, prying, twisting, and crimp everything from lures to weights. There are just so many things that anglers do during one day of fishing with tools. Unfortunately, no one tool can do it all. That’s why a combo kit makes sense. Two tools when put in the boat can do any task efficiently and quickly. The Frabill Combo Kit combines split ring pliers and curved forceps along with a lanyard.  Everything an angler needs in one day of fishing.
