Do you enjoy fishing for smallmouth bass? We've put together a few tips, techniques and tactics for catching those seemingly elusive bronzebacks.

Since sring is here, these top 3 spring time smallmouth bass fishing tips just might inspire you to get out on the water at this time of year. Good luck.

This months featured website visitor comes in from Manteca, California of the USA. Her name happens to be Cindy Crawford (not the supermodel celebrity chick from television).

Cindy works full time as Lab Supervisor in a hospital. But she absolutely LOVES to fish so much that she spends her Saturdays working at Bass Pro Shops.

When Cindy isn't working, can you guess where you might find her and her husband? Yup, out on the water in their bass boat on somewhere on the California Delta. They try to go fishing at least once a week, rain or shine.

The picture shown here is of a 8lbs, 10oz largemouth bass, which won her bragging rights in a friendly tournament with her co-workers from BPS. You can see it on the website at "Big Fish Largemouth Bass" in the Bass Fishing Pictures section. Feel free to add your commentary there.

Father's Day is just right around the corner on June 19th. Need some gift ideas for a Dad or even a Graduate that enjoys fishing?

You can keep it simple, while still having a nice impact on them to show your gratitude. I recommend some kind of an angler's kit. Some examples could be:
KVD Strike King Sexy Shad Kit
Soft Plastic Worm/Creature Bait Kit
Rod Holder Racks
Rod and Reel Combos

Memorial Day is at the end of this month too. Shop online today to get great sale prices and excellent deals at Bass Pro Shops!
