1. We listen to our members …sometimes too much ;) 2. We act on member feedback 3. We firmly believe that FishAddix.com members can change the fishing world by sharing information and connecting...

This Week in Fishing – 8/9/10
Normally when I sit down to write these articles. It’s pretty difficult to come up with a topic to write about. Since I’m not the technical wizard that most of you think I am, most of my topics can be lumped into the “fishing philosophy” category, if there is such a thing. So this week when I was forwarded an article about a pro fisherman cheating during a...

What I’m talking about, as aptly described in the title of this article, is FishAddix.com –...

The Great Oil Spill of 2010
As an outdoor enthusiast company and website, FishAddix LLC and FishAddix.com, we thought it was necessary to weigh in on the Great Oil Spill of 2010. The objective of this article is not to ruffle the feathers of the already agitated general public, but rather to provide some food for thought to those who are tired of reading the same politically laced news fodder. However, since our opinions...

Welcome back kids. Before I delve into this week’s topic I’d just like to say (well actually type) a few words about the incredible oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In order to keep out of the political bull that is surrounding this mess, all I want to say is that as fishermen (as well as people), I think we can all recognize how much something like this blows on so many levels. And I really just...

What sort of impact do you think this oil spill will realistically have on the local fisheries along the Gulf Coast? What about the general environmental impact?

Do you think this disaster will have a lasting impact in the area for years to come? Should we...

That Fishing Feeling
First, let me apologize for my recent absenteeism. Believe it or not, blogging is not my professional career and I do in fact have a day job - a day job that sometimes becomes a night job and wreaks havoc on my personal life.

Pre-Spawn Bass - Two top lures and techniques!
Environment – Where are these guys?
Contrary to popular belief, bass do not spend the winter stuck to the bottom of the lake. On natural lakes, they stay as deep as the grass grows and a lot of times that’s in less than 6ft of water. Once the ice is gone and the water warms into the low 40s grass is the biggest key to landing bass. I look for the...

TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 2010 This week I want to talk about a topic that strikes close to home with me – fishing etiquette.

Considering the fact that my “experiences” were perpetrated in part by fellow fishermen...
