I just submitted my first article to Glenn, on Swimbait fishing with Paul Hirosky and James Niggemeyer, and have another 20 ideas for articles to write for Bass resource, but can't decide next:

1. Throwing musky lures for big bass-
2. The pork frog pioneers (those who threw pork chunks on their jigs)
3. The quest for natural looking fishing lures-
4. Fishing pads for bass-
5. From Wigglers to Buzzers, how to fish them
6. Slack line worm fishing-
7. It’s how you adapt your worm-
8. Fighting a “green” bass
9. Spinning gear for smallmouth
10. When to use a long rod-
11. Thin or thick fishing line
12. Warm, Muddy spinnerbaits
13. Choose your bling (Spinnerbait blade size)
14. Topwater Puppets (different retrieves)
15. The Speed set (hook-set)
16. Fishing Mini-Lakes
17. Swimming a grub for schoolers
18. The Unknown Factor (water PH)
19. Backwards Lures
20. Winning combination: Shad and Rocks

Those are all good subjects. Put them on pieces of paper, put them in a hat and draw. I'd love to see #8, #14, and #15 but I'd explore it along the lines of "hook sets and line type..."

I agree, all good choices. I would choose #20 then #18.

We're coming into Summertime, so maybe articles that deal with summertime environments and summertime fishing, like vegetation.
Just brainstorming here.

The topic I read in replies most relates to #11-- line visibility. I had my best outing with thin white line (nanofil) its said that white is the worst but didnt hinder me. I use timber brown colored line and weeds Ive brought in were the exact same color as the line so might matching the line to weed growth be beneficial? Can you do underwater camera testing of various lines give results?

I read people say "I fished braid 3 hrs no bite put on a leader caught a fish" Well Ive fished for 3hrs no bite on next cast caught a fish didnt change a thing so whats that prove. Maybe that next cast without leader would have resulted in a fish.

All good choices. I'd pick #20 to start.

Another idea is finding fish when a thermocline exists.

#21 - How to bounce back from a tournament goose egg!

Not trying to pick on you, but the topic could end up being a teachable moment for the author as well as the readers.
