| The Daffy Spring Season |

With all the different things that largemouth bass do in the spring, it can feel like they
are toying with our rational way of thinking just like Bugs and Daffy arguing. You
begin to get a feel for what is going on and where the bass have hid themselves
when all of a sudden they move! What happened? Where did they go? I thought it
was pre-spawn and now they are all gone and there are no bass on beds anywhere!
What do I do now? Well, even though you think those little green fish outsmarted you,
they didn't. They only reacted to their environment. So lets find out where they are
and why they are there during this “Daffy” spring season. Lets face it, if you can't
find them, you can't catch them.

| Using Your Vexilar to the Fullest |
| Using Your Vexilar to the Fullest |

We’re all familiar with 3-color flashers. We’ve used them for years and they have
become a foundation for most ice anglers. Having the ability to “see” what’s below
you and react accordingly is something most of us would never forfeit. It’s to the
point now that if we leave our Vexilar at home then we turn around to get it. Fishing is
just not the same without your flasher staring you in the face when battling with a
finicky fish. But do we really use our Vexilar to its fullest? It’s not just a tool that
shows the bottom, the fish and your jig, it’s much more than that…
