Mastering Bass Fishing Throughout the Year: Expert Seasonal Techniques for Every Angler

Bass fishing is exhilarating, offering anglers the thrill of landing one of the most sought-after freshwater game fish. But bass behavior is anything but predictable, changing throughout the year in response to shifting water temperatures, food availability, and seasonal cycles. Adjusting your strategy to align with these changes is essential for anglers hoping to land trophy bass regardless of the season. Whether it’s spring feeding frenzy or winter's slow bite, mastering year-round bass fishing techniques can elevate your experience on the water. This guide will explore expert strategies tailored to each season.

The Seasonal Shift: How Bass Behavior Changes Throughout the Year

Bass are cold-blooded creatures, meaning their body temperature and metabolic rate are directly influenced by the water temperature around them. As a result, their feeding habits, movement patterns, and overall activity change with the seasons. Understanding how these changes affect bass behavior is the first step in becoming a more versatile and successful angler.

In warm seasons, bass are more active and chase fast-moving prey. In contrast, cooler months cause them to slow down, and they seek comfort in deeper waters. Each season offers a unique set of challenges but ample opportunity for those who can adapt their tactics.

Spring: The Pre-Spawn Build-Up and Spawning Rituals

Spring is widely regarded as the prime time for bass fishing. The bass enters the pre-spawn phase as water temperatures rise to the 50°F-70°F range. During this time, both male and female bass move from deeper waters into the shallows to prepare for spawning. This period provides the best opportunities to catch large, aggressive bass.

In the pre-spawn phase, bass are driven by the need to bulk up before spawning. They are often found in transitional areas such as the edges of drop-offs, creek mouths, and submerged structures. Anglers can capitalize on this period using crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jerk baits that imitate baitfish, as bass aggressively feeds in preparation for the spawn.

Once bass start spawning, they shift focus from feeding to protecting their nests. During the spawn, the bass (particularly males) stay close to their beds, guarding eggs from predators. Slow presentations using soft plastics, like Senkos or crawfish imitations, can trigger strikes from protective males.

After the spawn, bass tends to be fatigued and scatter into deeper waters. However, the post-spawn period still offers excellent fishing opportunities as they gradually regain energy. During this time, topwater lures and soft swimbaits can prove effective, particularly in the early morning or late evening when bass return to shallower waters to feed.

Summer: Fishing in the Heat

As summer sets in, bass faces increasing water temperatures exceeding 75°F. This temperature rise can make daytime fishing more difficult, as bass move to deeper, cooler waters to avoid the heat. Understanding the summer heat's effects and how to adapt your techniques can still yield great results during the hottest months of the year.

Fishing during the early morning and late evening is essential during summer, as this is when the water is cooler and bass are more active. Topwater baits such as poppers, buzz baits, and frogs excel in low-light conditions, enticing surface strikes from bass hunting in shallow waters.

As the sun climbs and temperatures rise, bass moves to deeper, more comfortable environments. Anglers will find more success targeting areas with deep structures, such as ledges, points, and submerged timber. Deep-diving crankbaits, Carolina rigs, and drop shot rigs are the go-to when fishing deeper water. The key during summer is patience, as bass tend to be less aggressive in extreme heat.

Pay attention to the thermocline—the layer of water where the temperature changes sharply with depth. Bass often suspend just above or within the thermocline, seeking the optimal combination of oxygen and comfort. Fishing just above this layer with slower presentations will increase your odds of a bite during the peak of summer.

Fall: The Season of Abundance

As water temperatures drop in the fall, bass instinctively feed heavily to prepare for winter. This season is characterized by abundant food, including baitfish, crawfish, and insects, making fall one of the best times to target bass. Unlike in summer, bass are much more willing to chase down prey in cooler waters.

Look for baitfish schools during the fall—bass will rarely be far behind. Fast-moving lures like lipless crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and swimbaits are excellent for imitating baitfish and triggering aggressive strikes. Covering a lot of water with these search baits is a good strategy, as fall bass tend to move frequently in search of food.

During the fall, bass are likely found in transitional zones, such as points, flats, and creek channels. Bass will follow schools of shad or other baitfish into these areas, making them prime fishing locations. As the season progresses and water temperatures continue to cool, bass will begin to retreat into deeper waters for the winter. Switching to slower, deeper presentations as the temperature drops will ensure you stay on top of them.

Winter: Slowing Down for the Cold Months

Winter is often the most challenging season for bass fishing. As water temperatures drop below 50°F, bass become lethargic, feeding less frequently and spending most of their time in deeper, warmer water. However, winter bass fishing can still be rewarding with the right approach.

Slowing down your presentation is key during the winter. Lures such as jigs, blade baits, and suspending jerk baits are effective when fished slowly along the bottom or through the water column. Anglers should focus on deeper structures, such as rock piles, drop-offs, and submerged trees, where bass gather during colder months.

Because bass are less willing to chase fast-moving prey in winter, keeping your lure in the strike zone for longer is important. Fishing slower and using smaller baits, such as finesse worms or hair jigs, can tempt cold, inactive bass into biting.

Winter fishing also rewards anglers who pay close attention to weather patterns. On sunny days, shallow waters near rock or vegetation can warm enough to attract bass looking for warmer temperatures. Focus on these areas during midday, when the sun is at its peak, for a better chance of landing a fish.

Year-Round Gear Considerations

Seasonal strategies require the right gear to maximize your success on the water. In colder months, lighter lines and more sensitive rods are essential for detecting subtle bites. Fluorocarbon line, in particular, offers increased sensitivity and invisibility underwater, making it ideal for winter and early spring fishing.

In contrast, summer and fall often call for heavier tackle. Braided lines are perfect for fishing heavy cover or deep structure, offering the strength to haul bass out of dense vegetation. Topwater fishing during summer mornings can be enhanced using monofilament, which floats and allows optimal lure action.

Finally, consider the size and speed of your reel. Higher gear ratios are ideal for fast-moving baits in the spring and fall, while slower gear ratios will give you the control needed to fish deep water during the summer and winter.

Year-round bass fishing is an art that requires a deep understanding of seasonal patterns and the flexibility to adjust your tactics as conditions change. Whether you’re battling summer heat, enticing sluggish winter bass, or capitalizing on the spring and fall-feeding frenzies, these strategies will give you the tools to stay ahead of the game. With the right gear, patience, and a little finesse, every season offers the potential for success. Happy fishing!

ROD and REEL Arsenal for FISHING for Smallmouth Bass

The fishing road trip is wrapped up and now it’s time to break down the patterns, baits, as well as the rod and reel arsenal we used to catch smallmouth bass up in Michigan! The pattern highlights really focused on 2 different baits, a jerkbait and a Ned Rig. I caught my PB smallie on the jerkbait right off the bait but when fishing Lake Huron got super close to beating it fishing the Ned Rig.…

It turns out there are two children, and the WoL has to pick between grabbing one child and escaping, or risking their life to save both. If they choose the latter, Senko will offer to join the Scions. "I can see you've more integrity than your average adventurer. Let me know if you need aid in the future, and I shall come."

Romanceable?: Senko is not romanceable and will react with Strong Disapproval to any attempts to flirt with her.

Where they are in the open world:

(As a Scion): If an MSQ step is active, wherever the Scions are currently based out of, sitting and drinking tea.

If no MSQ step is active, she can be found in Limsa Lominsa. Prior to completing her personal quest, she will be labeled as Red-Headed Raen.

(As an unrecruited NPC): Conjurers Guild, outside by the aethernet shard

Default saying: (when you want to talk to them in open world, how do they respond?)

Post-personal quest: Visit her family, wander Limsa Lominsa - she can be seen as an unlabeled NPC walking through the Mist.

Things they Generally Approve of: Kindness to children, anti-Imperial sentiment, removal of dangerous monsters, fish.

Things they Generally Disapprove of: Blatant greed, aiding Imperial soldiers, infidelity.

Are they in a Grand Company? Which one?: No

Friends:

Within the Scions:  She enjoys spending time with Y'shtola, Tataru, and Krile. If asked she will admit that "Urianger seems to be a good man, but every time he opens his mouth, I resist the urge to daydream." Despite this, she still socializes with him more than some of the other Scions.

Outside the Scions: Senko can be seen interacting with several named NPCs in Limsa prior to her personal quest: Manly Miqo'te, Mysterious Miqo'te, and Elegant Elezen. They are later revealed to be members of her family.

Small side mission(s): (such as fetch quests, or an extended quest line) Plenty of Red in the Sea: if an MSQ step is not currently active, Senko can be found dressed in civilian clothes in Hawkers Alley. If approached, she will claim the WoL has mistaken her for someone else and leave. If successfully followed without being noticed, she will lead the WoL to her home and family, and start a fight. Afterwards she will admit that she keeps her adventuring life separate from her personal life to keep them safe, but "If I can't trust the Warrior of Light with their lives, can I trust anyone?" After this she will have new dialogue options about her family and history.

Potential tarot card changes:

If accepted into the Scions: 7 of Swords

After personal quest:  2 of Pentacles

If not recruited/kept as an adventurer: 4 of Swords

Kendi Fascism Today, by Shane Burley Indoctrination over Objectivity?, by Marrissa S. Ballard Ur-Fascism, by Umberto Eco Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, by Lindsay C. Gibson Anti-Semite and Jew, by Jean-Paul Sartre Alt-America, by David Neiwert*** The Dictator’s Handbook, by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita & Alastair Smith Terror, Love, and Brainwashing, by Alexandra Stein Kaputt, by Curzio Malaparte The Anatomy of Fascism, by Robert O. Paxton Neoliberalism and the Far Right, by Neil Davidson and Richard Saull Trolls Just Want to Have Fun, by Erin E. Buckels, et al The Entrepreneurial State, by Mariana Mazzucato

Media Manipulation & Disinformation Online, by Alice Marwick and Rebecca Lewis (free: link) A monstrously useful report from Data & Society which- coupled with Samuel R. Delany’s memoir The Motion of Light in Water - formed the backbone of the Mainstreaming video. I barely scratched the surface of how many techniques the Far Right uses to inflate their power and influence. If you feel lost in a sea of Al-Right bullshit, this will at least help you understand how things got the way they are, and maybe help you discern truth from twaddle.

The Authoritarians, by Bob Altemeyer (free: link) (livetweets) A free book full of research from Bob Altemeyer’s decades of study into authoritarianism. Altemeyer writes conversationally, even jovially, peppering what could have been a dense and dry work with dad jokes. I wouldn’t say he’s funny (most dads aren’t), but it makes the book blessedly accessible. If you ever wanted a ton of data demonstrating that authoritarianism is deeply correlated with conservatism, this is the book. One of the most useful resources I’ve consumed so far, heavily influencing the entire series but most directly the video on White Fascism. Even has some suggestions for how to actually change the mind of a reactionary, which is kind of the Holy Grail of LeftTube.

(caveats: there is a point in the book where Altemeyer throws a little shade on George Lakoff, and I feel he slightly - though not egregiously - misrepresents Lakoff’s arguments)

Don’t Think of an Elephant, by George Lakoff An extremely useful book about framing. Delves into the differences between the American Right and Left when it comes to messaging, how liberal politicians tend to have degrees in things like Political Science and Rhetoric, where conservatives far more often have degrees in Marketing. This leads to two different cultures, where liberals have Enlightenment-style beliefs that all  you need is good ideas and conservatives know an idea will only be popular if you know how to sell it. He gets into the nuts and bolts of how to keep control of a narrative, because the truth is only effective if the audience recognizes it as such. Kind of staggering how many Democrats swear by this book while blatantly taking none of its advice. Lakoff has been all over the series since the first proper video.

(caveats: several. Lakoff seemingly believes the main difference between the Right and Left is in our default frames, and that swaying conservatives amounts to little more than finding better ways to make the same arguments. he deeply underestimates the ideological divide between Parties, and some of his advice reads as tips for making debates more pleasant but no more productive. he also makes a passing comparison between conservatism and Islam that means well but is a gross and kinda racist false equivalence)

How Propaganda Works, by Jason Stanley (livetweets) A slog. Many useful concepts, and directly referenced in the White Fascism video. But could have said everything it needed to say in half as many pages. Stanley seems dedicated to framing everything in epistemological terms, not appealing to morality or sentiment, which means huge sections of the book are given over to “proving” democracy is a good thing using only philosophical concepts, when “democracy good” is probably something his readership already accepts. Also has a frustrating tendency to begin every paragraph with a brief summary of the previous paragraph. When he actually talks about, you know, how propaganda works, it’s very useful, and I don’t regret reading it. But I don’t entirely recommend it. Seems written for an imagined PhD review board. Might be better off reading my livetweets.

Neoreaction a Basilisk, by Elizabeth Sandier A trip. Similar to Jason Stanley, Sandifer is dedicated to “disproving” a number of Far Right ideologies - from transphobia to libertarianism to The Singularity - in purely philosophical terms. The difference is, she’s having fun with it. I won’t pretend the title essay - a 140-page mammoth - didn’t lose me several times, and someone had to remind which of its many threads was the thesis. And some stretches are dense, academic writing punctuated with vulgarity and (actually quite clever) jokes, which doesn’t always average out to the playfully heady tone she’s going for. But, still, frequently brilliant and never less than interesting. There is something genuinely cathartic about a book that begins with the premise that we all fear but won’t let ourselves meaningfully consider - that we will lose the fight with the Right and climate change is going to kill us all - and talks about what we can do in that event. I felt I didn’t even have to agree with the premise to feel strangely empowered by it. Informed the White Fascism video’s comments on transphobia as the next frontier of bigotry since failing to prevent marriage equality.

On Bullshit, by Harry Frankfurt Was surprised to find this isn’t properly a book, just a printed essay. Highly relevant passage that helped form my description of 4chan in The Card Says Moops: “What tends to go on in a bull session is that the participants try out various thoughts and attitudes in order to see how it feels to hear themselves saying such things and in order to discover how others respond, without its being assumed that they are committed to what they say: it is understood by everyone in a bull session that the statements people make do not necessarily reveal what they really believe or how they really feel. The main point is to make possible a high level of candor and an experimental or adventuresome approach to the subjects under discussion. Therefore provision is made for enjoying a certain irresponsibility, so that people will be encouraged to convey what is on their minds without too much anxiety that they will be held to it. [paragraph break] Each of the contributors to a bull session relies, in other words, upon a general recognition that what he expresses or says is not to be understood as being what he means wholeheartedly or believes unequivocally to be true. The purpose of the conversation is not to communicate beliefs.”

The Reactionary Mind, by Corey Robin (livetweets) Another freakishly useful book, and the basis for Always a Bigger Fish and The Origins of Conservatism. Jumping into the history of conservative thought, going all the way back to Thomas Hobbes, to stress that conservatism is, and always has been, about preserving social hierarchies and defending the powerful. Robin dissects thinkers who heavily influenced conservatism, from Edmund Burke and Friedrich Nietzsche to Carl Menger and Ayn Rand, and finally concluding with Trump himself. There’s a lot of insight into how the conservative mind works, though precious little comment on what we can do about it, which somewhat robs the book of a conclusion. Still, the way it bounces off of Don’t Think of an Elephant and The Authoritarians really brings the Right into focus.

Fascism Today, by Shane Burley Yet another influence on the White Fascism video. Bit of a mixed bag. The opening gives a proper definition of fascism, which is extremely useful. Then the main stretch delves into the landscape of modern fascism, from Alt-Right to Alt-Lite to neofolk pagans to the Proud Boys and on and on. Sometimes feels overly comprehensive, but insights abound on the intersections of all these belief systems (Burley pointing out that the Alt-Right is, in essence, the gentrification of working-class white nationalists like neo-Nazi skinheads and the KKK was a real eye-opener). But the full title is Fascism Today: What it is and How to End it, and it feels lacking in the second part. Final stretch mostly lists a bunch of efforts to address fascism that already exist, how they’ve historically been effective, and suggestions for getting involved. Precious few new ideas there. And maybe the truth is that we already have all the tools we need to fight fascism and we simply need to employ them, and being told so is just narratively unsatisfying. Or maybe it’s a structural problem with the book, that it doesn’t reveal a core to fascism the way Altemeyer reveals a core to authoritarianism and Robin reveals a core to conservatism, so I don’t come away feeling like I get fascism well enough to fight it. But, also, Burley makes it clear that modern fascism is a rapidly evolving virus, and being told that old ways are still the best ways isn’t very satisfying. If antifascism isn’t evolving at least as rapidly, it doesn’t seem like we’re going to win.

(caveats: myriad. for one, Burley repeatedly quotes Angela Nagle’s Kill All Normies, which does not inspire confidence. he also talks about “doxxing fascists” as a viable strategy without going into the differences between “linking a name to a face at a public event” and “hacking someone’s email to publicly reveal their bank information,” where the former is the strategy that fights fascism and the latter is vigilantism that is practiced widely on the Right and only by the worst actors on the Left. finally, the one section where Burley discusses an area I had already thoroughly researched was GamerGate, and he got quite a few facts wrong, which makes me question how accurate all the parts I hadn’t researched were. I don’t want to drive anyone away from the book, because it was still quite useful, but I recommend reading it only in concert with a lot of other sources so you don’t get a skewed perspective.)

Healing from Hate, by Michael Kimmel (Michael Kimmel, it turns out, is a scumbag. This book’s main thesis is that we need to look at violent extremism through the lens of toxic masculinity, so Kimmel’s toxic history with women is massively disappointing. Book itself is, in many ways, good, but, you know, retweets are not endorsement.)

A 4-part examination of how men get into violent extremism through the lens of the organizations that help them get out: EXIT in Germany and Sweden, Life After Hate in the US, and The Quilliam Foundation in Europe and North America. Emphasizing that entry into white nationalism - and, to an extent, jihadism - is less ideological than social. Young men enter these movements out of a need for community, purpose, and a place to put their anger. They feel displaced and mistreated by society - and often, very tangibly, are - and extremism offers a way to prove their manhood. Feelings of emasculation is a major theme. The actual politics of extremism are adopted gradually. They are, in a sense, the price of admission for the community and the sense of purpose. The most successful exit strategies are those that address these feelings of loneliness and emasculation and build social networks outside the movement, and not ones that address ideology first - the ideology tends to wither with the change in environment. The book itself can be a bit repetitive, but these observations are very enlightening.

(caveats: the final chapter on militant Islam is deeply flawed. Kimmel clearly didn’t get as much access to Qulliam as he had to EXIT and Life After Hate, so his data is based far less on direct interviews with counselors and former extremists and much more on other people’s research. despite the chapter stressing that a major source of Muslim alienation is racism, Kimmel focuses uncomfortably much on white voices - the majority of researchers he quotes are white Westerners, and the few interviews he manages are mostly with white converts to Islam rather than Arabs or South Asians. all in all, the research feels thinner, and his claims about militant Islam seem much more conjectural when they don’t read as echos of other people’s opinions.)

Terror, Love and Brainwashing, by Alexandra Stein A look at totalitarian governments and cults through the lens of attachment theory. While not explicitly about the Far Right, it’s interesting to see the overlap between this and Healing from Hate. Stein stresses that the control dynamics she discusses are not exclusive to cults, and are, in fact, the same ones as in abusive relationships; cults are just the most extreme version. So you can see many similar dynamics in Far Right organizations, like the Aryan Nations or the Proud Boys. It’s made me curious how many of these dynamics are in play in the distributed, less controlled environment of online extremism, and makes me want to look further into the subject before drawing conclusions.

(caveats: book is, as with How Propaganda Works, sometimes a slog and rather repetitive. I clocked a 4-page stretch in chapter 8 where Stein did not say a single thing that hadn’t been said multiple times in previous chapters. also, when talking about people coerced into highly-controlled lifestyles, she offhandedly includes “prostitutes” among them? it’s that liberal conflation of sex work and trafficking which is really not cool. this isn’t a major point, just something to notice while you read it.)

Alt-America, by David Neiwert (livetweets) A look at the actual formation of the Alt-Right, and the history that led up to it: the Militia and Patriot movements of the 90′s, the Tea Party, the rise of Alex Jones and Glenn Beck, and so on. Having been steeped in the rhetoric and tactics of the Far Right for so long, someone doing the work of sitting down and putting it all in chronological order is immensely helpful. Generally clear and well-written, too, and would be an easy read if not for how goddamn depressing the content is. Has an unfortunate final 7 pages, where Neiwert starts recommending actual policy. Falls into the usual “have empathetic conversations with genuine conservatives to turn them against the fascist wing taking over their party,” not recognizing the ways in which conservatism is continuous with fascism, nor the ways that trying to appeal to moderate conservatives alienates the people whose rights they deny. Means an extremely valuable book leaves a bad taste in the final stretch, but everything up to then is aces.

I know I already posted this yet I had to repost with a better crop so you can truly see how large this fish was. Btw I highly recommend braided line. I've lost so many fish with normal line that I doubt I'll ever go back! And lastly, all of my large bass have been caught on Gary Yamamoto senkos w/ offset hooks and Texas Rigged (weedless). - - @yamamoto_fishing #garyyamamotocustombaits #bassfishing #bass #largemouthbass #minnesotaparks #minnesotafishing #senko #texasrig #texasrigged #braidedline #fishing #catchandrelease (at Theodore Wirth Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz68R3qjxB0/?igshid=1hxlyf07czwfl

There is something genuinely cathartic about a book that begins with the premise that we all fear but won’t let ourselves meaningfully consider - that we will lose the fight with the Right and climate change is going to kill us all - and talks about what we can do in that event. I felt I didn’t even have to agree with the premise to feel strangely empowered by it. Informed the White Fascism video’s comments on transphobia as the next frontier of bigotry since failing to prevent marriage equality. On Bullshit, by Harry Frankfurt Was surprised to find this isn’t properly a book, just a printed essay. Highly relevant passage that helped form my description of 4chan in The Card Says Moops: “What tends to go on in a bull session is that the participants try out various thoughts and attitudes in order to see how it feels to hear themselves saying such things and in order to discover how others respond, without its being assumed that they are committed to what they say: it is understood by everyone in a bull session that the statements people make do not necessarily reveal what they really believe or how they really feel. The main point is to make possible a high level of candor and an experimental or adventuresome approach to the subjects under discussion. Therefore provision is made for enjoying a certain irresponsibility, so that people will be encouraged to convey what is on their minds without too much anxiety that they will be held to it. [paragraph break] Each of the contributors to a bull session relies, in other words, upon a general recognition that what he expresses or says is not to be understood as being what he means wholeheartedly or believes unequivocally to be true. The purpose of the conversation is not to communicate beliefs.” The Reactionary Mind, by Corey Robin (livetweets) Another freakishly useful book, and the basis for Always a Bigger Fish and The Origins of Conservatism. Jumping into the history of conservative thought, going all the way back to Thomas Hobbes, to stress that conservatism is, and always has been, about preserving social hierarchies and defending the powerful. Robin dissects thinkers who heavily influenced conservatism, from Edmund Burke and Friedrich Nietzsche to Carl Menger and Ayn Rand, and finally concluding with Trump himself. There’s a lot of insight into how the conservative mind works, though precious little comment on what we can do about it, which somewhat robs the book of a conclusion. Still, the way it bounces off of Don’t Think of an Elephant and The Authoritarians really brings the Right into focus. Fascism Today, by Shane Burley Yet another influence on the White Fascism video. Bit of a mixed bag. The opening gives a proper definition of fascism, which is extremely useful. Then the main stretch delves into the landscape of modern fascism, from Alt-Right to Alt-Lite to neofolk pagans to the Proud Boys and on and on. Sometimes feels overly comprehensive, but insights abound on the intersections of all these belief systems (Burley pointing out that the Alt-Right is, in essence, the gentrification of working-class white nationalists like neo-Nazi skinheads and the KKK was a real eye-opener). But the full title is Fascism Today: What it is and How to End it, and it feels lacking in the second part. Final stretch mostly lists a bunch of efforts to address fascism that already exist, how they’ve historically been effective, and suggestions for getting involved. Precious few new ideas there. And maybe the truth is that we already have all the tools we need to fight fascism and we simply need to employ them, and being told so is just narratively unsatisfying. Or maybe it’s a structural problem with the book, that it doesn’t reveal a core to fascism the way Altemeyer reveals a core to authoritarianism and Robin reveals a core to conservatism, so I don’t come away feeling like I get fascism well enough to fight it. But, also, Burley makes it clear that modern fascism is a rapidly evolving virus, and being told that old ways are still the best ways isn’t very satisfying. If antifascism isn’t evolving at least as rapidly, it doesn’t seem like we’re going to win. (caveats: myriad. For one, Burley repeatedly quotes Angela Nagle’s Kill All Normies, which does not inspire confidence. He also talks about “doxxing fascists” as a viable strategy without going into the differences between “linking a name to a face at a public event” and “hacking someone’s email to publicly reveal their bank information,” where the former is the strategy that fights fascism and the latter is vigilantism that is practiced widely on the Right and only by the worst actors on the Left. Finally, the one section where Burley discusses an area I had already thoroughly researched was GamerGate, and he got quite a few facts wrong, which makes me question how accurate all the parts I hadn’t researched were. I don’t want to drive anyone away from the book, because it was still quite useful, but I recommend reading it only in concert with a lot of other sources so you don’t get a skewed perspective.) Healing from Hate, by Michael Kimmel (Michael Kimmel, it turns out, is a scumbag. This book’s main thesis is that we need to look at violent extremism through the lens of toxic masculinity, so Kimmel’s toxic history with women is massively disappointing. Book itself is, in many ways, good, but, you know, retweets are not endorsement.) A 4-part examination of how men get into violent extremism through the lens of the organizations that help them get out: EXIT in Germany and Sweden, Life After Hate in the US, and The Quilliam Foundation in Europe and North America. Emphasizing that entry into white nationalism - and, to an extent, jihadism - is less ideological than social. Young men enter these movements out of a need for community, purpose, and a place to put their anger. They feel displaced and mistreated by society - and often, very tangibly, are - and extremism offers a way to prove their manhood. Feelings of emasculation is a major theme. The actual politics of extremism are adopted gradually. They are, in a sense, the price of admission for the community and the sense of purpose. The most successful exit strategies are those that address these feelings of loneliness and emasculation and build social networks outside the movement, and not ones that address ideology first - the ideology tends to wither with the change in environment. The book itself can be a bit repetitive, but these observations are very enlightening. (caveats: the final chapter on militant Islam is deeply flawed. Kimmel clearly didn’t get as much access to Qulliam as he had to EXIT and Life After Hate, so his data is based far less on direct interviews with counselors and former extremists and much more on other people’s research. despite the chapter stressing that a major source of Muslim alienation is racism, Kimmel focuses uncomfortably much on white voices - the majority of researchers he quotes are white Westerners, and the few interviews he manages are mostly with white converts to Islam rather than Arabs or South Asians. all in all, the research feels thinner, and his claims about militant Islam seem much more conjectural when they don’t read as echos of other people’s opinions.)

FISHING QUICK TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

1. learn the way TO solid

Learn how to solid a fishing rod and a bait caster accurately – most times you'll have to place the bait within a very few feet of the strike zone wherever a poor casting ends up in uncomprehensible opportunities and conjointly lost lures.

When victimization plastic baits like worms, Senkos or craws, don’t jerk - I see this happen all the time, starting anglers have a tough time characteristic between a bite and a snag leading to the bait rapt from the strike zone.

The best thanks to confirming a bite are to carry the rod steady with a touch tension and see if there's a pulsation, if therefore then jerk. once victimization plastics bass can sometimes hold on to the bait for a handful second – enough time to work if it’s a fish or a snag.

2. USE low-cost LURES TO BE BRAVE

In order to maximize success, ne'er use lures or rigs that you’re afraid to lose whereas fishing. If you’re fishing lures that you simply worry concerning losing, you’ll ne'er place them at risk, wherever the fish live, and wherever they'll work for you. low-cost lures fished within the right areas work higher than costly lures fished in “safe zones”.

3. CONFIDENCE is vital

My best tip for beginners is with reference to confidence. you must continually have 2 hundredths confidence in what your throwing, confidence is vital to serving to somebody with success fishing a replacement bait. continually suppose, this next solid I'm progressing to catch that five pounders!

Matt

4. LEARN YOUR LURES

When employing a new lure it'll take a while to induce the droop of it and develop confidence in it. a decent thanks to try this is to travel fishing with solely that lure. This forces you to use that bait and learn the way to figure it to catch fish.

5. USE A KAYAK

For new fishermen that need to induce out on the water however do not have a ship, attempt kayak fishing. Kayaks area unit cheap, lightweight weight, and straightforward to move. They conjointly enable you to induce in those spots not accessible by foot or power boats that always hold a number of the largest, un-pressured fish!

Seth Willoughby

6. BE ready

The most vital tip I will offer anyone is to be ready for love or money once going fishing. You ne'er apprehend what the fish area unit progressing to do. You ne'er apprehend what lures they need, you ne'er apprehend what the weather goes to try and do and the way it's progressing to have an effect on the fish. The additional ready you're, the higher probability you've got of being a made fishermen.

7. brine VS fresh

So it's pretty obvious to most, the variations between fresh fishing and brine fishing, however there area unit some scientific points to contemplate additionally to easily the “Lake vs. Ocean” comparison.

Freshwater fishing is once a trained worker fish in a very body of water that has but zero.05% salinity. it's totally {different|completely different} than brine fishing as a result of the species of fish area unit entirely different. Except some fish like Salmon, WHO area unit born in fresh, pay many years baffled, so come back to spawn within the same fresh body of water they were born in.

One factor to stay in mind is that lakes, like ponds, rivers and every one alternative body of water can have handbasket limits. A handbasket limit is that the quantity of fish and/or size of fish you’re allowed to get rid of from that lake per day.

If you're like Maine, and live midland you don’t continually get the chance to seafood, however, the choice will be even as fun and rewarding!

8. fresh FISHING TIPS

Map It – once fishing in a very fresh lake or pool you’ll need to induce a geographic map of that body of water. this can allow you to apprehend what and wherever the various depths of the lake or pool area unit. in conjunction with that, it should conjointly show you locations of sunken unreal fish cribs.

Bait Matters! – the most effective sort of bait is live bait! Worms, minnows, wax worms, and soft shell (crayfish) area unit smart ways in which to begin. you'll need to use the live bait is best for the species of fish you’re making an attempt to catch. another kinds of live bait that {are conjointly|also area unit|are} used are leeches and frogs or the rest live you're thinking that the fish can go for! Artificial bait works also, with the favored choices being spinners and crankbaits.

Check the Water temporary worker – the bulk of seafood species have specific water temperature and weather that they like. the warmer it gets outside the deeper you’ll get to fish. Fish tend to love cool temperatures and can move to deeper, cooler water because the temperature outside rises. throughout evenfall and dawn, fish can return to additional shallow water to feed. You’ll need to analysis the particular fish you’re making an attempt to catch to work out the most effective times and water depths to catch them.

Keep those hands clean! – once fishing in water with very little salinity you’ll really need to create certain you retain your hands clean. Fish have an excellent sense of smell and any foreign scent on your bait or lures will flip them off.

Other necessities – other than clearly needing a rod and reel, alternative things that you simply can eventually want would be a tackle box, needle- nose pliers, a net, and maybe AN icebox. conjointly a pleasant try of polarized glasses won't solely block the actinic radiation rays from the sun and also the sun's glare on the water, however, they'll assist you to examine a touch higher into the water to find fish.

9. SAFETY data

Safety first! – Growing up in Everglade State I will say, look out for Gators as tip numero uno! particularly if {you area unit|you're} within the south and are employing a boat or canoe.

You always got to have the correct permit and/or stamps, if you’re caught fishing while not them you may be in plight.

If you're progressing to wade in a very stream, pond, or lake confirm to use an aquatic bird belt to stop water from speeding into your waders. If in a very boat, grab a flotation device. it's continually smart to possess handy and necessary by law in most places. Lastly, don’t forget to drink lots of water and apply sunscreen.

10. LAKE FISHING TIPS

Inlets and shops and hang around Spots – Like humans, fish like specific temperatures and can usually loiter around areas of a lake that they realize snug. Places, wherever water enters or drains from a lake, can usually be a lot of cooler and favorable to fish. Baitfish wish to loiter around these areas, in conjunction with the large fish that eat them.

Find Sunken Junk and Treasures – Fish wish to loiter around structures that create them feel safe which offer the chance to ambush alternative fish. Structures like sunken trees, branches, and artificial fish habitats area unit an excellent place to fish. It’s a secure haven, more or less they think… quite however coral is in brine.

The Wind is on Your aspect – On days with a robust breeze, you'll be able to expect the bait fish to induce pushed nearer to shore, which means the massive fish can return nearer to shore to feed. await drift lines and follow them, they'll result in baitfish, which is able to result in the massive fish you're trying to find.

Scout for Weeds – a great deal of massive fish, like pike and largemouth black bass wish to stalk their prey from a pleasant cozy weed bed. find some weed beds within the lake your fishing in and take a look at obtaining your bait and/or lure therein space to examine if you'll be able to coax a fish to bite. The weed beds that result in deeper water and build a prospect line area unit the most effective spots!

11. KEEP IT low-cost

Remember, you don’t need to pay many bucks on fishing tackle. fresh fishing ought to be fun, easy, and cheap. concerning ninetieth of the tackle on the market is supposed to draw in the trained worker, not the fish.

12. KEEP IT straightforward

Keep your rig straightforward and size down tackle to fulfill your desires. You can’t catch a shark in a very 5-acre pond!

Marcos J. De Jesús

13. apply YOUR solid

I would counsel that beginners apply to cast before going fishing. this manner they're creating quality casts on the water and, hopefully, catch quality fish!

Captain Devin

lafishblog.com

-----------------------

14. "MATCH THE HATCH"

Meaning, your bait ought to be, or a minimum of mimic (with artificial bait) what the fish area unit intake. Use baits and lures that appear as if andarea unit a similar size because the naturally found forage within the body of water you're fishing. Live bait continually works best.

casting for fly fishing

15. CASTING!

Having been a three hundred day p.a. fly fishing guide around the world for several years, and within the fly fishing trade with Sage, city, and Redington for the past dozen more or fewer years, I'd tell you that the foremost vital tip I can give somebody is to be told to solid, and learn to solid well.

While nice gear (rod and line) will definitely facilitate one’s cause, it's not a cure and no substitute for merely turning into a decent caster. once learning to solid, learn the way to double haul immediately… while not learning the double haul, one can continually be command back in their casting ability, and ensure things (the allow, Tarpon atlanticus and soft-finned fish flats), dead within the right out of the gate.

All that aforementioned, being a decent caster needs apply, which apply ought to be done before you go fishing after you will target what's most vital at that stage within the game... learning to solid. Once an individual becomes a decent caster, the remainder can fall right into place.

16. USE the proper BAIT

Be aware of what fish you're making an attempt to catch and what quite a bait attracts them. Catfish, as an example, reply to raw liver whereas bream fish like insects like crickets. the incorrect bait might mean an awfully long sterile day, not the means you would like to begin once embarking on this stunning endeavor!

How to Fish – Fishing for Beginners – How to Catch Your First Largemouth Bass When learning how to fish it can be intimidating for a beginner. Many people want to go bass fishing and catch their first bass. Here are some simple tips and ... source

[xjsteph]

Name your top 2 bass lures for bank fishing Mine is the Mepp Classic Spinner size 3 & Strike King Mini in Midnight

These are my go to’s:

Plastic worms: Work great all year, I’ll change up the color depending on the time of day or how dark/murky the water is. Fat senkos or long skinny robo worms. They all woke great.

Jigs: football jigs, finesse jigs, any kind is jigs I’ll use for bedded fish. I’ll usually use a white or a light color so I can see it in the water better.

Underspin: this is somewhat new to me but I caught my biggest bass yet on one of these, again I’ll use white swimmer/tail on it so I can see it better also it looks like a shad.

I’ve had 0 luck with any kind of spinner, crankbait and top water. Though I still try them from time to time.

[bassfishingbychris]

So many jigs, so little time! We all know jigs catch BIG bass in Spring but with all the different colors, sizes, and styles, how do you know which jig to fish with? Matt cuts through the hype and the chaos and shows just how simple jig fishing can be. He demonstrates how two or three jigs can be used to match every situation, then gives up his favorite trick to catch bass after Spring storms. 

Spring jig fishing doesn't have to be complicated. As Matt demonstrates, an angler can buy a pitching jig and a pack of trailers and catch fish in nearly every circumstance. Digging a little deeper, that same angler can pick up a football jig and a flipping jig, and dial in the pattern no matter the conditions. Color selection doesn't have to be difficult either. Leaning toward natural tones in clear water and dark tones in muddy water will get consistent bites, and let's not forget Matt's Chartreuse core trick. 

As promised, we've included all our favorite jigs and colors below. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We've also included our favorite jig rods and a budget combo that will help you catch more fish without breaking the bank.
