While February can be good for redfish, trout and sheepshead, it is much more loved by freshwater fishers obsessed with heavy-bodied speckled perch and bass. This month hasn’t yet produced a spectacular speck spawn, but it has been absolutely sparkling for large bass at their spawning time. There will undoubtedly be better days ahead for anglers looking for lots of bites and big numbers, but it’s hard to imagine things improving much in the way […]

Winter big bass time at Beaver Lake
It took a lure with a funny name to make a winter fisherman out of this fair-weather angler. That was many moons ago when I was just getting my feet wet learning how to wrangle a few bass out of Beaver Lake. It was a new piece of water for me. I did OK in the spring and summer.
