As winter bears down on us like a runaway freight train the serious bass angler is going to have no choice but to engage in a little bit of winter bass fishing. In this article I will discuss 3 effective cold weather bass lures that are effective in the winter months. It’s no secret that the winter months are some of the toughest times of the year for catching bass. When the water temperatures fall below fifty degrees the fishing can become extremely difficult.

One of the big things to remember during winter months is that bass will move into deeper water. They tend to like deep water structure near shallow flats when they can find them. This way in the afternoon (once the sun has had a chance to warm the water in the flat a bit) they can move into said flats to feed on bait fish. Fishing for these bass is a great winter fishing strategy.

Another key thing to remember when fishing during cold weather months is strikes will be much lighter than when water temperatures are higher. Lighter line and rods with more sensitivity are very important during the cold weather months. With that being said, let’s get down to business, shall we?

1. Jigging Spoons – Jigging spoons jigged over deepwater structure during the winter months is a great winter bass fishing tactic. Use your depth finder to locate bass hanging around deep water structure and you’ll be good to go. Remember, bass like to

Why do so many guys have a hard time with approaching women and flirting?

Besides the causally-rooted social influence itself, it’s because women forgot how to play the flirting game.

When a woman is showing no signs of interest and is being dismissive and aloof like millions of them are today, they’re not giving their own dating lives any help.

They’ll go to a Starbucks and instead of giving off signs to guys they’re interested in, will stay stuck in their iPOD or their laptop essentially expecting guys to do all of the work. Meanwhile they ask ‘why can’t I meet any men?’ Yet there are dozens of great options every time they go there.

It’s right in front of them and they can’t even see it. It’s time that women started helping men out because the natural way of attraction is called flirting. It’s a sexual communication between a man and a woman.

Basically how it works is this; the man walks in and shouldn’t have to do anything. From there, women will start picking up his characteristics and if they’re interested they will send nonverbal signals back that are subtle yet obvious enough to let the guy know that it’s OK to approach.

Millions of women have turned off their receptor cells and ability to play the flirting game. Unfortunately they have become like brick walls.

The man is nonverbally sending out his S.O.N.A.R.R. (science of natural attraction/response) or ‘signal’ but it’s often never getting bounced back by … Continue Reading ...

Nowadays, it has become a norm to use the terms of climate and weather synonymously, whereas there is a lot of the difference between the two as the following lines will explain.

Climate is the average weather of a place observed over a very long period of time, usually for thirty years or more. These conditions are well-established and well known at a particular location. For instance, it is known that the climate of London is mild both is summers and winters with frequent precipitation. What does it mean? It means that it is a well-established fact that the summers as well as the winters at London are USUALLY mild and London has got a rainy climate.

To cite another example, the climate of Cairo is hot and dry in summer and cool and dry in winters.. It means that the summers at Cairo are USUALLY quite hot while the winters are cool. The statement of weather is also giving us another information that climate is dry both in summer and winter and indeed it is! Cairo records only one inch of rainfall annually.

Weather is the CURRENT condition of temperature, pressure, relative humidity and rainfall at a particular place and it can deviate considerable from the long term average described above. It is a very easy to understand concept. During recent years, especially after the year 2000, there have been unprecedented heat waves occurring in London during summer. So if during a heat wave we experience hot temperatures, we … Continue Reading ...

Aruba is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and is located in the Caribbean Sea north of Venezuela. The Netherlands Antilles islands of Bonaire and Curacao are just to the east. Aruba is fairly flat with some hills several hundred feet high. It is a popular tourist destination and is known for its white sandy beaches.

Hurricanes and tropical storms nearly always pass to the north of Aruba, through the central Caribbean or farther north. Occasionally some fringe effects such as outer rain bands or high surf do reach the island. Upper air winds are usually unfavorable for hurricanes to develop near Aruba. The tropical storms and hurricanes that do bring fringe effects mostly form east of the Lesser Antilles and then move well north of the island.

Aruba Rainfall

Aruba has a short wet season which runs from October through December. The increased rain is due to the proximity of the monsoon trough across northern South America. About 3-4 inches of rainfall occurs each month during this time period. The rest of the year is quite dry with an average of one inch per month.

Aruba Temperatures

Temperatures change very little during the year. Highs are in the upper 80’s from late spring through early autumn. Overnight lows only drop to near 80 degrees. The rest of the year day time high temperatures reach the mid 80’s with lows in the mid 70’s.

Camping is great all year round, but plenty of people like to plan their trip during the fall season where the nature views have breath-taking hues of red and orange. Some people prefer to spend time outdoors during winter, too, as the campgrounds are less crowded.

But camping during these cold seasons is quite different compared to when you go during warmer seasons like summer and spring. There are more things to consider. More importantly, your goal is to keep warm.

Follow these effective ways to keep warm when camping in cold weather:

Know before you go

It is highly important that you know what you will be up against when it comes to the weather during your trip. The best way to stay warm is to be informed beforehand, so you know what to prepare, what to bring and what to expect.

Check the weather forecasts and trends. You can also do research about recent changes in the terrain and trail closures of your chosen location. Best if you contact the park’s ranger to be updated.

Pack the essentials

The right clothing and sleeping gear are paramount to help fight the cold outdoors. When packing your clothes, bring layers – preferably synthetic and wool base layers. Gloves, thick socks, boots and cold-weather hat are important.

When it comes to sleeping gear, a closed cell foam sleeping pad, a sleeping bag (with the appropriate temperature rating) and a warming/space blanket are ideal.

Pee Before You Sleep
