Ignite the Fire

Autumn leaves on the water, one perfect cast, then the surface explodes. Is fall the best fishing season, or what?

Dawn light, glassy water, and a bass that just couldn't stay down. Describe your best topwater morning ever?

Casting into the fog, then the mist lifts on a perfect morning. Nothing beats fog lifting off a river — agree?

Down below the surface: the stalk, the strike, the fight. Ever wondered what your lure sees on the way down?

One lantern, dark water, and that unmistakable night strike. Ever fished by lantern light?

Silent drift through the reeds, frog lure on the line — then the water explodes. Kayak or boat for tight cover?

Sometimes you stop fishing just to watch. Herons are the real pros out here — coolest wildlife you've spotted while fishing?

Sharp hooks and good knots — the unglamorous part that lands the fish. One lure you'd never leave behind?

Rain rolling in, rod bending anyway — some of the best bites happen mid-storm. Do you keep casting when the rain starts?
