Fishing the Shad Shape Worm

At first glance, the Yamamoto Shad Shape worm would appear to have about as much fish-enticing action as a pencil eraser.  There is no curly tail or twirling appendage to imitate a struggling baitfish, yet never judge a book by its cover -- or a worm by its tail!  This little piece of plastic transforms into the perfect minnow imitation when fished above a drop shot weight.

Lessons Learned

They say you learn something every time you go fishing. What they don't say is what you actually learn. We all assume that what we learn is strictly about fishing, but sometimes you learn something you don't expect.

Boston has a relatively short season, so everything gets compressed into about six months: sports, fishing, warm weather. It’s not always easy to fit fishing into everything else that's going on with the family. So when I saw that the Northeast Bass Association had scheduled a tournament on the Charles River for May, I decided to fish it with my son. I fish a charity tournament on the river every year and have a pretty sure-fire pattern for that time of the year. Even better, not many trails fish the river since it is entirely no wake. This makes for a short fishing day, as the river is ten miles long in this section.

The Advantage to Split Grip Rods

The biggest advantage to using a split-grip rod over other rod handles is weight savings.  By cutting away some of the cork or other grip material, the rod becomes lighter and more sensitive.  Tackle shops and retail catalogues offer a wide array of rod configurations and lengths for just about any style of fishing, be it drop-shot, wacky style, tube jigs, spinnerbaits, crankbaits -- you get the idea.  It is full-contact between your hand and the rod for both spinning and trigger grips.

GYCB Releases New Large Flappin' Hog at ICAST for Bass Buffs

Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits has a 25 year legacy of producing some of the finest bass baits ever made. Some of GYCB's world-famous originals, the Yamamoto Double Tail Hula Grubs and Single Tail Grubs, have always been best-sellers, the best of breed. The Kut Tail Worm has also always been the #1 soft bait in Japan since day one. Those particular designs originated 20 to 25 years ago, but Gary Yamamoto has continued to constantly research, enhance and incrementally improve upon our legacy lure through the years, thereby always maintaining a leadership position ahead of the competition where it matters most - on the end of your line when a fish bites.

They could be called “Public Panfish Number One.”  Talk to darn near anybody who has caught enough of them to fill a trying pan and they’ll tell you they love ‘em.

I’m talking, of course, about crappies.  They were one of the first fish I learned a few things about a long, long time go.  Besides being fun to catch, if properly prepared they’ll tingle your taste buds about as satisfactorily as anything that swims.
