To flip or not to flip, that is the question? Flippin’ is a technique that can be aggravating for some. Down here in the Sunshine State we practice the art of flippin’ quite a bit because we have numerous numbers of lakes with thick matted grass. When it gets extremely hot the fish will get under those mats for the shade, and it will be cooler under those mats. When it gets cold down here, the mats heat up quicker than the water, so the water higher up towards the matt will be a few degrees warmer than what’s beneath and the fish will stage under the mats. This is a time where we break out our heavy "broomstick" rods and go to work.

Bass Fishing success can't be achieved on skill alone. Raw talent is a gift but without the proper tools, one will never be able to completely harness that skill to reach his/her maximum potential. As fisherman, we are all searching to gain an upper hand both on the fish we pursue and the competition we face. How can normal weekend anglers gain any type of advantage when we are all essentially cast from the same mold? The truth is that this answer is quite simple. It is a formula I’ve been following for years and for me, it has helped keep me a few paces ahead of the crowd. |

Monster Bass Landed In California |

 Allan Cole (created the AC Plug , which spawned the swimbait revolution on the west coast) and Steve Keene (long-time fishing buddy) just had possibly the best day ever in the history of big bass. On Friday, March 10th, they landed 4 fish over 10 pounds at Lake Casitas in California, including a 10, 12.5, 16.1 and 18.6! The 18.6 pounder is around the 4th largest bass out of Casitas of ALL TIME! (that according to Randy King at the lake).
We have NEVER heard of anyone getting two fish over 16 pounds out of the same boat, on the same day, anywhere. All of the fish were caught on various AC Plugs, which are considered by many to be an outdated lure with the advent of the latest soft baits. Allan's 16 pound 1 ounce fish was caught on his AC Plug "Real Trout" and Steve caught the monster 18 pound 6 ounce bass on the AC Plug "Triple Real Trout".
As far as we know, Steve's 18.6 is the largest bass in the nation for 2006. Consider that Casitas has been fished by hundreds of thousands of anglers over its recent history...and this is around the 4th largest bass of all time. That is pretty amazing by any standards. |
