    Westernbass Magazine, Spring 2016

    I am certainly ready for a new season of bassin’ and hope you are too. I’ve been excited to kick off the year with coverage of the International Sports Shows in Sacramento and Scottsdale as well as the Fred Hall show. Stay tuned for upcoming tank seminars on WesternBassTV, if you missed the shows. This year, WesternBass was excited to bring site users video clips from our western anglers at the Bassmaster Classic. I will be watching and cheering them on throughout the year. I would like to congratulate Lowrance pro Edwin Evers for his outstanding win at Grand Lake for the Classic championship – 29 pounds! Wow! I would to like remind anglers that WesternBass offers many features on the site to make tournament planning easy. Under the Interactive tab, we have the Tournament Calendar and Special Events with Digital Guides for all of the Wild West Bass Trail events. Under the Delta tab, you will find moon phases, weather, water temps and tide charts to help plan a fun and productive day on the tidal water. Lastly, I want to thank all of you for your support of the site and the magazine. It is because of you and our sponsors that WesternBass is the place where fishermen talk. Wayne

    Making the most out of used water comes down to adaptation and a confidence in your ability to make a move from the back of the boat. Co-anglers continue to learn and adjust to not only fishing conditions, environmental patterns and all of the other known stressors in tournament bass fishing, but these men and women must also compete on the fly where many times, boaters can throw serious curve balls throughout the day. This article is meant to help drive the co-angler’s ability to adapt and overcome.

    While double digits are rare in the north, many fish over 5-pounds are caught on glide baits throughout the year. Fall is a prime season for exploiting fish feeding up for the winter. While some fish may be striking for a meal, others may hit or swipe from pure instinct. Recognizing the bait’s position after the catch can help indicate what the current mood is of those fish in your particular lake or river

    In most cases, braided main line has taken the majority of credit for increased sensitivity, less line maintenance and an increase in fish catches. Beyond the most sensitive of rods and perfectly matched spinning reels, customizing baits and double-rigs seem to catch the majority of attention to those who are trying to separate themselves from the competition, but there are a couple of alterations that can actually increase your efficiency with a dropshot.

    Why is Clear Lake measured in Rumsey?

    I cannot tell you how many times someone has asked this question. Or, how many times I’ve got a funny look when I’ve used it to describe the water level at Clear Lake. So… to help shed clarify the unique measurement, I thought I would give it an explanation. When I began, I believed it would be an easy task.
