I think everyone reading this probably remembers their first big bass. Mine hit a Bass Buster in a small pond, and the splashes seem frozen in time. I can still picture each weed, each dead tree, and what the fish looked like when I hauled it up on the bank.

Last month I fished the Red River in Shreveport, La. As the day went on, I found a little backwater area where the water was full of duckweed, hydrilla and tons of laydown logs anywhere from 2 to 8 feet deep.

I took my 4-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter fishing on a private hunting-preserve lake in northwest Florida. The intent was to try to catch crappie and bream, so we had minnows, crickets and worms. We saw a huge bream bed with no fish on it, and we had zero luck with the crappie.

When that plan didn't work out, More...
