If you go south, go bass fishing
Last week I attended the Professional Outdoor Media Association in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The conference ended on Thursday and the group Ranch and Folds of Honor took six of us writers fishing on their ranch ponds, which brings up the title of this article. Bass fishing is king down south, so if you go south you’ve got to bass fish, don’t you?
Brandon picked me up at 5 a.m. and off we went for the ranch. Upon arriving there, we met everyone and they hooked us up with a guide. The first pond I fished with a super young man named Jacob Coltrane. I haven’t fished much for largemouths the last few years, so I had to get back with the program.
We started off using white spinner baits. How can you not love bass fishing? They’re little fat hogs on steroids and when they hit, they don’t have table manners. They don’t eat politely. They just slam your lure and go bat crazy.
