Setthathook, Why another fishing website?

setthathook — Fri, 14 May 2010 06:21:24 +0000

The internet for me is the same as everyone else on the net. It is a device for me to distribute information or some other form of media without the high price tag that followed oh so many years ago. So why have another site on fishing for bass? It’s an honest question. This site is for much more than the occasional angler but for the ones of us that live bass fishing as one lives any sport as a major fan or player! We wanted to share information that will actually be truly of help. Though we will cover topics of bass behavior, electronics, and boating relating to fishing, we wanted to discuss another and wit out a doubt the most important subject on catching fish. Exactly where to fish!!! Any casual angler of fishing will find it most frustrating to try and figure out not just how but where to fish. This site strives to seek out and give the knowledge each angler needs no matter where he or she might be! We have seen thousands of sites over the last decade. Though many of the sites about fishing for bass that have come about over the years say a lot of general information about such topics as gear / tackle and tactics explaining how to fish, these sites almost always leave out particular information on the different types of lakes, rivers, streams and reservoirs that the fish inhabit and very specific information to be of any good to the novice angler on where to fish. Kentucky Lake one of the most famous and largest artificial fishing lakes and is one of the very top spots of fishing for bass in the country and is approximately 160,000 acres and has several rivers connecting to it. Because fish will be located in different places in a river than that of a lake or reservoir just a few miles from each other because these bodies of water are different, bass will relate differently depending on water flow, height and temperature/chemistry and other very important attributes that cause particular movement during each season. So, this site is mostly about where to fish. We hope to have not just ourselves but others fishing for bass willing to upload photos and tells us exactly what is going on in the waters and where exactly we should be for great fishing.
Secondly, this site will also be about products such as fish finders, GPS, electronic and paper maps, vests, lures, any products used on the lake or instrumental on your catch and the reviews and comments by other anglers who are either happy or not so happy about the products they have purchased. Have you been let down by a product? Did the manufacturing company fail to hold their promise to you in your opinion? In hoping you will share our site, we want to know your thoughts since you are the ones out there using them and hopefully you can help another in their decision of a fishing product.

Knot tying

setthathook — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 01:41:22 +0000

Why would anyone pay to learn about tying one’s hook on their line on the internet? Ingesting information, especially large amounts of information can be truly time consuming, cost a person an important tournament, or simply place you in an embarrasing position!.

Learning to be a pro or just a fishing enthusiast can cost you alot of time and money! You want to get the info and get out to the water not sitting aroung reading hundreds of pages and thousands of words you do not care about.! As an avid fisherman for 30 years and who is also an affiliate marketer, I know that one needs the right knot at the right time depending on what I am fishing for and my particular rigging.

Fishing is very different at times between catfishing and bassfishing. The individual line can make a big difference in bringing in the catch that can bring glory by a simple ounce of weight. If your knot slips or breaks because you were using the wrong knot on your rigging you can easily become dissapointed!

Right before the storm….

setthathook — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 22:51:14 +0000

The best fishing I have ever enjoyedwas right before a major low pressure system accompanying a major storm. My buddy Adam and I literally had to switch to heavier test line going from 8 lb test to 25 lb test because of the large bass striking our lures….But take care you leave enough time to get off of the lake before the storm. We were at Rough River Kentucky and the major storm played havoc on the town causing significant damage to homes….We were lucky enough to be already heading for Kentucky Lake miles away that day…. check out my website here!!!

Hello world!

Spring is here and people intriqued with fishing have already rushed to the lakes in hopes of catching something! As anyone familiar with fishing in cool tempatures will tell you, go to vertical baits or slow your speed down. Slow down!! Slow down!! Slow down those horizontal lures ….
