Cold Weather Bass Fishing In Late Fall

When late fall comes around most anglers slow down on their fishing. Yes, the catch may be slower but you have to remember one thing..the last thing a bass wants to do in the late fall is go deep, even with a cold front as long as their plenty of shallow cover. Wood is an excellent place for bass in the late fall, especially submerged and laydown trees.

Jigs, spinnerbaits, small crankbaits like the Little N, all are good lures to use at this time of year. Fishing pockets is also very productive this time of year. Remember to fish a spinnerbait lengthways down a submerged tree and lead the lure using your rod so it bumps off of big limbs from the tree.

Try using SuspenDots on the crankbaits to catch those suspended fish. Fish the trees by points and coves. Fish slower and dont run from spot to spot but fish an area thoroughly. If you can fish trees submerged where one end is in about 7-9 feet of water, make sure you fish it.

Try deadsticking a Senko, I have had a lot of luck in late fall with this method, fish it slow and let it set for a little longer than you think you should.

Overall, the best I have done is with a little crankbait with a SuspenDot and fishing submerged trees on a point in fairly shallow water. Just because the temperature is lower doesnt mean you cant have a good day of fishing even if you have a cold front to go along with it.

Charles E. White has fished 50 years for bass from California to Florida. In his lifetime, it is estimated that he has caught over 6,000 bass. His biggest bass is a 12 pound 14 ounce that hangs on his wall in his office. His tips and techniques have helped many people who have never fished for bass before become successful anglers. He also has fished with the Pros in Florida. His website is at: http://www.bassfishingweekly.com

Smart Fitting With Personal Results

Think about your swing with its individual characteristics. Compare your physical dimensions, your strength, your setup and posture and of course the way that you take the club back and bring it back through the strike zone to any of your other partners. In fact compare it to your own swing of 20 years ago!

When I sit with you, I see exactly you. I dont see that golfer of 20 years ago or any other player in your fourball, or myself. I then build a solution that will enable you to have a better golf game immediately.

And that solution needs thought. Its not a simple matter of a wrist to floor measurement and your handicap to decide that you need a " longer shaft in a set of stiff flex shafts with a muscle-back club head.

Heres a simple illustration. Lets consider a slightly older golfer who has seen his handicap slip from 9 to 17 over the last 5 years. This mirrors the naturally declining swing speed and strength. This will impact on both the length and height of iron shots. Id also like you to imagine that this golfer is a little shorter in height than average.

In any fitting that we are doing with this golfer we need to make sure that we make it easier to increase the club head speed without reducing the likelihood of making solid contact with the golf ball.

In many cases an obvious option for this golfer is to go with a lighter, probably softer shaft. A less obvious option, but one worth examining, would be to look at a " or " longer shaft than normally fits this golfer. The slightly longer shaft would generate, through natural physics, a faster club head speed, and therefore greater distance.

Of course the slightly longer shaft would increase the chances of missing the sweet spot at contact, so finding a club head with an oversized face (and a larger hitting zone) and a higher MOI (to ensure distance and accuracy when the ball is struck off-centre) would be a good idea.

Creating a Solar Heated Swimming Pool - Part 1

Solar Pool Part 1: Making your swimming pool more efficient

Swimming pools offer a great way to exercise and beat the summer heat. However, installing and maintaining a pool can get expensive. Fortunately, The sun can provide the heat needed to keep your pool warm enough for a nice swim.

Before investing in a solar water heating system for your pools, however make sure that your pool is effeiciently filtering and circulating the water it has. Inefficiency costs money! In fact, installing a smaller higher efficiency pump and running less each day can save up to 75 percent in energy costs.

Which pump you choose depends on the size of your swimming pool, how much it is used and local weather conditions. One study shows that a three-quarter-horsepower or smaller pump is generally sufficient for most residential pools. At the same time, install a larger filter and make sure that pipes are as short and straight as possible. A large cartridge type filter is more efficient that the cheaper diatomaceous earth types. In addition, cartridges require about half as much power to push the water through.

What about circulation? You can save some bucks by simply cutting back on the amount of time the circulation pumps run. Many are set to run 6 to 12 hours a day. However, about one to three hours a day is typically all thats needed to keep water fresh. Cutting back may mean that the pool filter doesnt collect as much debris, but you can skim it off as needed or keep the pool covered.

Whats next? Most of a pools heat loss occurs at the surface where the heated water evaporates or radiates away. A pool cover offers an effective way of keeping heat and water in a pool by reducing surface evaporation. A pool cover can reduce water loss by one third to one half. And each gallon of 80 degree water that evaporates removes about 8,000 BTU from the pool. In addition, reducing water loss also reduces the amount of chemical water treatment required.

The best way to reduce evaporation and even take advantage of the suns radiation is to add a solar cover to your swimming pool. Dark covers hold more heat in than clear or light-colored solar covers. A solar cover can pay for itself in energy savings within the first year, yet they have a lifespan of 3 to 5 years.

One more energy consumption tip for your solar heated pool: Install a windbreak. A fence or plants around a pool can reduce evaporation by 300 percent or more. An effective windbreak must be high and close enough to the pool to block wind from moving across the waters surface, but it cant block sunlight.
