Are You Having Trouble Catching Fish?

If you are, you should join a fishing club. It doesn't have to be a tournament club, almost any fishing club will help you catch more fish.

Bass Resource is an excellent place to learn more about bass fishing but most of the posts are about presentation. Presentation is only one part of the puzzle. I think location is the most important factor in fishing. You can't catch a bass if they aren't where you are fishing. The members here are located all over the country and many are fishing different types of water than you may have access to. In a fishing club, the members are fishing the same waters you are. The old rule of thumb is 90% of the fish are in 10% of the water. Hanging around other good fishermen will mean you will spend more time in the 10% where the fish are. There are probably several guys in the club that are excellent fishermen who will be glad to have someone to fish with even if you are new to fishing. If you participate in club meetings and outings, you'll make connections with people who will share their knowledge not just of what baits will work but of where in your lake they catch bass.  You'll learn more in a shorter period of time than you ever could on your own. Join a club, it will be well worth your time.
