We all go through a learning process and a few share what they have learned, most bass anglers don't. What I met by it's not rocket science is information is availble and easy to attain today.

I spent about 15 years bass fishing from 1955 to 1970, teen years to young adult and fished every opportunity that I could. When you consider those were my formal educational years going to school, starting a engineering aerospace career, marriage and family, the Vietnam war, racing fuel cars and boats, water skiing, motorcycles there were distractions from fishing.During that time period I logged everything and made lots of observations regarding bass behavior, set a few lake records and was asked to do a seminar on how to catch bass at a Bass Pro shop in Burbank in 1974.

This seminar was my motivation to make a chart I called The Cosmic Clock and Bass Behavior.

I tried to put everything learned into 1 chart with a 2 page explanation on how seasonal periods are governed by water temperatures, bait and bass migration determining bass location and activity levels. I did the seminar and realized my audience was overwhelmed with too much information. The shop owner loved the presentation, so I did several more focusing on more simple lure presentations which went over good.

My point is this; too much information often creates confusion. My old 1974 presentation art work has been redone and is availble on the Internet and still confuses anglers to this day, but it's has stood the test of time, the info is accurate and some of the terms have become part of everyday bass fishing. I suggest you take some time and look it over, read the instructional pages, it's my contribution to learning to bass fish.

Hey Tom, where can I find your presentation? I'd love to get a look

See the reply near the bottom of page 1. Can't add a link from another site.

Great read. @WRB
