Hannons Field Guide For Bass Fishing

Must reading for trophy bass hunters. After 20 years of research, Hannon reveals his secrets for catching huge largemouth bass.

The goal of this book is to provide a clear and concise understanding of catching trophy largemouth and smallmouth bass without a lot of fluff. Graphics and line charts that have been presented in many other bass fishing books were intentionally omitted. Many pictures were inputted to enhance text understanding and make the book entertaining and an easy read. The format is to present some foundation information in each chapter followed by detailed tips and presentations in Sections V and VI. The book begins with the concepts of critical thinking. The importance of safety on the water, the development of a trophy bass fisherman, the behavior of trophy bass, timing for trophies, and angler versatility are discussed. Research and development is presented along with a discussion of rods, reels, lures, lines, and knots. How trophy largemouth and smallmouth bass respond to the various seasons are presented. The importance of record keeping and analysis is emphasized. We then discuss catching trophy largemouth and smallmouth bass on purpose. This leads to the master craftsman phase of bass fishing i.e. planning for success, how water temps affects both species, good conservation practices, and the solunar influence on lunker bass. Fishing for trophy bass at night and during the cold-water periods are presented. An understanding that the angler must learn to fish off-shore for the trophies is emphasized. Finally, Sections V and VI provide detailed tips, lures, and presentations on how to catch trophy largemouth and smallmouth bass. These chapters use water temperatures as a guide to catch both species of bass during the spring, summer, fall, and winter seasons. Lastly, the angler must understand that right time, right place and right presentation is the formula for success! This involves critical thinking and attention to detail. An angler must exercise patience and follow the process!

Bass fishing requires more than just patience—it requires cunning and insight. Largemouth bass are the most popular game fish in the US. Found in nearly every state, they present an exciting and powerful challenge to anglers of all levels. In The Pocket Guide to Seasonal Largemouth Bass Patterns, author Monte Burch offers advice on determining where to find big bass, and how to effectively catch them. This guide is broken into eight sections covering the most distinct seasonal periods in the life of a bass, beginning with early spring and the prespawn and carrying through to the postspawn and finally the winter. Each section includes information on that season’s typical water conditions, temperature, and clarity, and is supplemented with maps that illustrate the best locations to find the biggest bass. Burch also gives time-tested advice on which gear works best, and when. This updated and expanded edition now features color photographs. So whether you are a beginning largemouth-bass angler or an experienced fisherman, The Pocket Guide to Seasonal Largemouth Bass Patterns will prove to be an essential guide for you to carry at all times.

Managing Ocean Environments in a Changing Climate summarizes the current state of several threats to the global oceans. What distinguishes this book most from previous works is that this book begins with a holistic, global-scale focus for the first several chapters and then provides an example of how this approach can be applied on a regional scale, for the Pacific region. Previous works usually have compiled local studies, which are essentially impossible to properly integrate to the global scale. The editors have engaged leading scientists in a number of areas, such as fisheries and marine ecosystems, ocean chemistry, marine biogeochemical cycling, oceans and climate change, and economics, to examine the threats to the oceans both individually and collectively, provide gross estimates of the economic and societal impacts of these threats, and deliver high-level recommendations. Nominated for a Katerva Award in 2012 in the Economy category State of the science reviews by known marine experts provide a concise, readable presentation written at a level for managers and students Links environmental and economic aspects of ocean threats and provides an economic analysis of action versus inaction Provides recommendations for stakeholders to help stimulate the development of policies that would help move toward sustainable use of marine resources and services
