Big baits are all the rage on the bass cast-for-cash circuits. But recreational bass anglers more into catching than casting also have learned the merits of big lures — giant worms, super-size swimbaits, oversize crankbaits, 8-inch flutter spoons — for triggering bass bites. […]
I got a good laugh today. Deer-hunting camp partner Andy Dulaney of Raymond called to talk about getting ready for deer season this fall at our Holmes County property. […]
Success, as usual in the artificial lure manufacturing business — or anything else, for that matter — begats success. […]
Some things about radar that used to be considered common knowledge are no longer valid — and some, of course, never were. […]
