June could easily be named the best month for bass fishing in the Northeast. Fish are post-spawn, hungry, and can be found in various locations and depths around the lakes. This is a great time of the year to fish with different techniques and learn more about each one. Becoming confident using new techniques is key to becoming a good bass angler, and June tends to have the best topwater bass fishing of the entire season.

Fishing for bass at night is some of the most fun you can have on the water. As the spring fades into summer and the lakes become crowded with pleasure boaters, the bass wrap up their spawning process, and it can become increasingly difficult to catch them during the day. In this post-spawn phase, many bass move offshore, and the fish that stay shallow become increasingly less active as water temps rise rapidly and the bass seek shelter from the sweltering heat.

Frog season is upon us.

On land, those who lurk in the dark with the intent to steal you blind and beat you down are called muggers or thieves. Offshore, they’re called tuna. Every species of tuna is genetically engineered to spend most of its days and nights swimming in one of two ways: fast to earn a meal or faster to avoid becoming one. Most tuna hunt and feed in schools, ravaging whatever herds of hapless forage crosses their paths. The behemoths of the bunch, the bluefins, welcome company around the table but are equally comfortable dining alone.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
