I should have remembered...  my other website (www.lzxray.com) participates in a number of Vietnam/Military webrings.  Turns out this web resource is available to the fishing world as well.  Looks like there are plenty of Bass and Trout webrings.  On the bass side, the folks that play the musical instrument of the same name seem to be a little testy that they show up in the same search with the fish - tough.

Over the next several months, we'll take a random walk thru these and provide a report on the most interesting ones that merit your viewing.

Looks like this is devoted to teaching the basics of bass fishing. On March 3, it's showing an article on winter bass fishing that discusses where they live when it is cold (deep) and the best type of retrieve to use (slow).  Next article down presents an interesting proposition - join a local bass club to mooch off of other members who have boats. 

My comment:  Actually, this is a pretty good idea - if you comply with the etiquette associated with going out with a boat owner.  Key item there is to pay for the gas and to bring the chow.  I saw a several threads on this subject over at www.riversmallies.com and the emotion was running high on this subject.  Don't be a deadbeat.  The boat owner is paying a fortune for the boat, insurance, maintenance, etc.  Doing the gas and chow is a small thing compared to their investment.  And this brings up another point - the best reason not to own your own boat is that you probably will not use it enough to get you money out of it.  Even a dedicated bass fisher (non-pro) only can get a kitchen pass for, say, 20 weekend days a year on the lake (that's fishing almost every other weekend or pretty much one weekend day in the spring and summer) - divide that into the cost and the maintenance - ouch.  A better strategy is to go out with a professional guide - you will pay a lot less, he/she will have a hot boat - and - knows where to put you on some good fish.
