Anglers Building Habitat

It has long been recognized that sunken ships and natural hard bottom areas are home to all manner of sea life, including recreationally popular gamefish. Anglers who discover such oases on the ocean bottom keep the “numbers” as secret as they would the combination to their safe deposit box. They also understand the value of creating habitats where no such structures currently exist in order to improve and encourage the growth of marine ecosystems. Welcome to the world of artificial reefs.

Fishing Top to Bottom in Winter

Former Bassmaster Classic® champion Alton Jones ranks winter as one of his favorite seasons of the year to catch bass, because he can literally fish top to bottom with two of his favorite lures, surface plugs and deep diving crankbaits. These lures aren’t normally associated with cold weather fishing, but the Yamaha Pro has been catching winter bass with them for years.

Winter's Best Bass Choice? Consider Small Crankbaits

Colder weather seldom stops Mark Davis from going bass fishing. All the Yamaha Pro does to adjust is tie on a smaller crankbait and use lighter tackle. 

Davis, winner of the 1995 Bassmaster Classic® as well as three Angler of the Year titles, is well-known for his expertise using diving lures, so his lure choice comes as no surprise. He fishes water less than 15 feet deep, and often uses spinning rods and eight pound fluorocarbon line.

More than 10 years ago, Marty Robinson began experimenting with different ways to retrieve his jigs around heavy, shallow cover so they wouldn’t continually get snagged. Not only did the Yamaha Pro eventually develop a swimming and hopping presentation over the cover that eliminated snagging, he also discovered it produced more strikes, especially during the cooler months.

When the 2013 Bassmaster® Elite season opens next March on the Sabine River near Orange, Texas, Greg Vinson knows he’s going to enjoy the tournament even if the bass aren’t biting. That’s because the Yamaha Pro knows another species, the redfish, probably will be hitting his bass lures.

Hurricane Sandy: Lessons Learned

Are You Prepared for the Next Major Storm? 

She came in the middle of the night at high tide on a full moon packing high winds and pushing an unprecedented wall of water ahead of her. Hurricane Sandy was the most storm to hit the Northeast coast in recorded history, claiming over 75 lives and destroying thousands of houses and businesses. The massive flooding compounded by wind damage to the power grid left tens of millions of people in the dark, and 20 days after the storm, there were still tens of thousands of homes in New York and New Jersey without power.
