Abstract:

Shaffner, a fishing guide in northwestern North Carolina, describes fishing for smallmouth bass in a very under-utilized fishery--the tributaries of large smallmouth bass rivers. He considers it the state's greatest freshwater game fish. He provides information on some of the streams listed by their river basins, such as the Yadkin River, New River, and French Broad River basins, as well as tackle and techniques to use.

Kibler, Dan

Abstract:

Fishing for bass during the winter months is a slow, painstaking process, and the following factors should be considered when fishing in the cold. Cooling surface waters send fish to the lower depths. Since the bass is a cold-blooded creature, falling temperatures slow down its reaction time, and it doesn't chase after a lure. Bigger lures, instead of smaller ones, work better because the fish wants the biggest meal with the least amount of effort. Hot areas in the lakes attract fish. These are produced by power plants releasing used, warmer water back into the lake. Temperatures in these hot spots can be twenty degrees higher than the rest of the lake waters.

Abstract:

Where are the fish and how deep are they were unsolved mysteries for bass fishermen prior to the 1950s. Then Carl Lowrance moved bass fishing into the electronic age with the creation of the LO-K-Tor, a portable device that allowed fishermen to see below the surface. The device first appeared in North Carolina in 1961. Gaddis describes its development and subsequent acceptance by sports fishermen.

Abstract:

Bass populations can be seriously threatened in the state's lakes and waterways by overfishing. The problem can be reduced by catch-and-release fishing. If properly handled after being caught, then quickly freed, the fish can survive for future sport.
