[July 1, 2002]Bass BetThe spring run of stripers may be over, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for slim pickings. Use these tricks to catch big bass even during the heat of summer.
Find the thermocline. During the daylight hours of summer, mature stripers often dive deep to cooler waters. The thermocline, a cool layer of deep water, is where you'll catch them. Find it by increasing the sensitivity on your fishfinder until you see a faint line between mid-depth and the bottom. Once you've located it, drop your baits there.

[October 19, 2006]Berkley Vanish Transition LineThink about how many baits a bass sees during a day on a crowded lake. Wouldn't an ace in the hole be nice? Low visibility fluorocarbon could load your deck. Berkley claims the line's bright gold color appears in the sun's bright light but quickly vanishes underwater. Even with the added stiffness of fluoro, my knots pulled down tight and my casts proved clean. But is it invisible to the fish? I had a hard time seeing it under the water's surface. The bass weren't afraid to eat up either.

Holly is a 3 year old Bichon Frise that loves being in the boat with her "family".

This boat is currently under a three-year restoration in which we pulled off the deck to replace the rotted transom, floor and stringers. We also added foam flotation under the floor compliments of a tech at Regal Boats. The gelcoat was so badly deteriorated we opted to create a black and parrot green scheme using Awlgrip and Interlux Perfection paints, hand rolled on. The boat cockpit will be finished in SeaDek non-skid flooring and the cracked windshield has been restored by Taylor Made, the original manufacturer of the windshield. It's due to launch Spring 2010.
