Heat Up Cold Weather Bass Action with Multi-Rigs
One of the hottest trends to hit fishing in recent years has been the umbrella rig, a.k.a. “Alabama Rig.” While some tournaments have eliminated its use, it remains an exciting tool to experiment with. Best of all, it can really heat up the bass action when fish seem sluggish in late winter and early spring.
Last winter, I did some bass-hopping along the TVA trail with Jimmy Mason. Jimmy, an FLW and former Bassmaster Elite Series angler who guides professionally in northern Alabama, gave me a crash course in multi-rigging on three famous Tennessee River impoundments: Wilson Lake, Pickwick Lake and Lake Guntersville.

The Added Advantage

Hey folks,
My name is John Gillespie, the host and producer of JOHN GILLESPIE'S WATERS & WOODS television show. Over the past 17 years we have produced 807 consecutive episodes, in other words, a new show each and every week. I am not an expert fisherman, instead I rely on the expert guides that service the upper Midwest. Over the years I have learned a lot from these guys and I hope our viewers have too.

Using Wake Baits to Catch Big Bass
Wake baits are taking the bass movement by storm, and for good reason. These tantalizing cranks give new meaning to the term “topwatering” and provide a niche factor for garnering strikes when other baits fail to make the grade. Come and uncover the wake craze – its one bait worth doing a background check on.

Flutter Spoons for Largemouths
The
outing was a lesson in frustration. Pounding typical shoreline
structure had produced few largemouth bass, and as the day crept
forward, my reliance on this fruitless pattern showcased my fishing
shortcomings. “They were here last week,” I muttered to myself, although
in slightly more colourful prose.
And so, with my rod firmly tucked between my legs, I began the ride back to the ramp in what can best be described as a drive of shame.
