Description: The bass fishing home page of Bass Bums with information, discussion and opinion about how to catch fish using the best fishing techniques, tackle, equipment and new and old fishing lures.
No doubt hooking up a feisty largemouth or smallmouth is an adrenaline pumping experience. If you land it, well, that's CATCHING. It is certainly the payoff but the fishing part is the "getting there" and that's the other half of the fun.
Now admit it folks, half the fun, more really, is found in messing with all the wonderful freshwater fishing gear that is this great sport. The rods, reels, lures, baits and boats; the preparation for a trip and sharing it with good friends, how we do love it all!
We go to bed the night before a trip eagerly anticipating the coming morning. We've prepared and organized our gear. We've carefully selected our lures, put new line on our reels, assembled our rigs, and checked our maps.
