CATCHING BASS ALL OVER THE NATION

Americana Outdoors is Bass fishing all over the nation! We’re starting on the West coast on Lake Castaic where we’ll meet up with Bass Pro Shops Pro Anglers David Walker and Wade Middleton as they visit the lake for the very first time. While we’re there they talk about and share insight on fishing in a heavily pressured lake while also hearing from anglers like Clark Wendlandt, Gerald Swindle, Aar- on Martens, John Crews, Brent Ehler on choosing fishing line, tying knots and matching fishing line to the bait their fishing. After we wrap up our trips to Castaic and talking fishing line we head to the famous Sam Rayburn reservoir where we’ll join Wade Middleton as he fishes a late winter day with water temperatures in the low to mid 50’s with both a SPRO Suspend- ing McStik Jerkbait and a SPRO Aruku Shad. While we are visiting with Wade he gives us some insight of when the best days to fish are. Wade tells us about high and low days. High days are going to be the tougher days because the fish are not as ac- tive and there is very little wind, and the low days are the best days to fish. The weather is cloudy with some rain and this is when the fish are more active. Even though we fish on both high and low

days, we’ll always need to strategize the way we fish so that we can always have a fish at the end of our line. We then wrap it up with Terry McWilliams who shares his secret fishing bait called the Stu- pid Tube. With the successes of the Stupid Tube, we are expecting many exciting fishing stories and many championship successes. These lures have taken anglers to the Bassmaster Classic and have gone into winning other titles. With all the raves about the new Stupid Tube, he shares the tech- nique and how it’s helped him catch fish for years.
