Big, big event this weekend.  In fact it is already happening.  No, I am not talking about the regionals of some big college ball tournament.  I am talking about the BassMaster Classic!  Follow the link and you can watch the action right here on the interwebs all weekend.  (That is assuming that you do not have something better to do like actually GO FISHING!)

Depth and Speed

A week ago I blogged about a favorite discussion topic among anglers–lure or bait color.  Actually, I did not blog about it so much as stole my buddy, Greg Wagner’s blog post on the subject.  That topic generates a lot of interest among anglers.  I have blogged about it before.

But, assuming that …

March can be a bit of a “‘tweener time”.  You know, the ice is too thin to walk on, but too thick to cast into.  The water may be liquid, but the weather is bad.  As a result, some of us sit and stare at our tackle boxes.  Or, we make a trip to our favorite tackle shop, walk the aisles and drop some $$$$$.  While doing that, I know what goes through your mind, “Wow, that looks like a …
