There's an easy way to know when the water in your favorite lake warms up: massive quantities of pleasure boaters flock to it.
Don't get me wrong, I love being out on the water as much as anybody and I understand that people would want to ski or tube or just enjoy the scenery. But if you are like me and trying to catch a fish, you'd prefer to avoid the traffic.

Fishing experiences can range from both the pleasure that comes from catching a fish to the pain and frustration that comes when "the big one" gets away. For every successful fish story you might hear at the boat ramp, there are probably many more tales about anglers left in disbelief as the fish of their dreams breaks their line – never to be seen again.
For those of you fishing for fun, the heartbreak is usually temporary.

In spring, a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love.
With apologies to Lord Tennyson’s oft-quoted tome, while a young man’s fancy may turn to thoughts of love, it is a love for the base knock, the tweener, the frozen rope, the gapper, and going yard over that a young woman’s heart.

If a bass could build its ideal habitat, the specs would be something like this: shallow water, in or near heavy cover with quick access to deep water nearby. While the nearby deep-water access is good news for anglers (you need some place to float your boat), pulling bass out of water in or near heavy cover can pose some access problems.
Safe and secure in its ideal surroundings, the bass has an ideal ambush point should it decide to feed on baitfish or crawfish. This bass isn't going to have a big strike zone, so don't expect it to come charging out from the cover to devour any fast-moving bait that just happens to be in the area.

I love and hate “bench jockeys.” You never see these guys play in a game. A bench jockey’s job was to become best friends with the opposing pitcher or anyone else with a case of rabbit ears.
We were told to keep our eyes and ears on the field and out of the stands or opposing dugout. A case of rabbit ears is when you don’t.
