Top Lure Reveal - Rapala CountDown

Clint Taylor

In summer time, I have found most of my success with a little bit of a quicker retrieve than a slower one, and in colder temperatures I typically slow it down considerably. In fact, in winter time you really can't fish the CountDown too slowly. Of course some people say you can catch them just the same in the summer as in the winter, but this usually is due to unusual conditions. My number one spot to throw the CountDown CD01 is in the eddies that form in streams and rivers. I like to cast the CountDown into these eddies and then letting the lure fall for a second or two. After this, I usually hook up with a fish shortly into my first tug, but if not I will work it into the current. You will want to make sure that you cast the CountDown upstream in rivers as this is the direction fish face.

A Throwback to Fishing - Colorado River Fishing

Clint Taylor

Sometimes during fishing we try to get a little too sophisticated with our tactics. This is why I find this article so amusing. Not until a year or so ago did I seriously start to understand the tactics of fishing for bass. I used to just put on a favorite lure no matter the circumstances and expect to have a few bites. However nice this might seem, this is not the case, as fish can be quite finicky due to their surroundings.

A Unique Fish for a Unique Place

Clint Taylor

For quite some time now I have been trying to catch a fish called the Rio Grande Cichlid. This fish is quite small, as the state record weight is 2.02 lbs. However, they are quite a feisty and aggressive fish, which makes them a blast to catch...at least that is what I hear. They are very interesting looking fish, as they resemble a Guinea Hen, from which their name is originated. Although the Rio Grande Cichlid is small, it has quite a relative in the Peacock Bass of South America. That's right, this small fish is related to one of the greatest freshwater fish of all time. Fortunately, you do not have to go to Brazil to catch them though.

The Devils River - A Hidden Oasis

Clint Taylor

In general, most people will not recognize Texas as a state with crystal clear pristine water and cool running trout streams. While for the most part this is correct, these people also couldn't be more wrong. This is my trip of the Devils River, and boy was it a good one!

Preparing for the Devils River - Part Two (Research)

Clint Taylor

I have always been someone to appreciate good knowledge and understanding. Experience is a crucial characteristic of success, but for most of us, we do not have much experience on the Devils River so how do we gain the upper hand without experience. Well, there isn't an easy way, but the best way is through research and gaining as much knowledge over the Devils River as possible. Many of you are probably thinking at this point, "Where do I start?" Well, with all of the technology that sorrounds us today, the internet is the best option.

Top Lure Reveal - Strike King KVD Square Bill Crankbait

Clint Taylor

There's a wide variety of crankbaits out on the market today, but few actually make it into my arsenal of divers. For the water that I typically fish, I tend to be in less than 8 ft. of water, so the idea of having a large profile crankbait that dives to 16 ft. is pretty ridiculous. On the other hand, you can still have a large profile crankbait that goes shallow. The Strike King KVD Square Bill crankbait is just that.
