For those of you who don’t, Adam is a regular contributor and his work is much appreciated. Some of his recent pieces [...]

ShareWhat is it about the “tick” of a swimbait bite that keeps us coming back for more? There are a lot of other more productive things we could be doing but we find ourselves day after day, week after week, year after year, chasing big green fish around oversized ponds. Why? I don’t know what [...]

ShareAfter months of requests the time has finally come for me to chime in on the topic of Alabama Rigs, generically known as “Spreader Rigs” or “Umbrella Rigs”. Obviously I’m months behind the hype. Most of you now own rigs and have had some experience with them. Some of you are probably having a blast [...]

ShareDon’t you just love those winter days when the sun comes out, the wind lays down and for a few brief moments it feels like Spring? Despite the ice cold water you can almost imagine fish starting to head for the shallows and begin to feed near the surface. You know the days I’m talking [...]

ShareWell, its New Years Eve. 2011 is in the rear view mirror and 2012 is barreling toward us. Soon we’ll be fishing the spawn, chasing the summer topwater fish, and targeting fish around schools of bait in the fall. So, what is going to make 2012 different than 2011? What are YOU going to do [...]

ShareTactical Bassin is pleased to welcome another video from Southern California’s own, Adam Hinkle. As many of you know Adam catches big fish from the boat (as seen in his recent jig video) but he’s also a force to be reckoned with walking the banks of San Diego’s famed fisheries. He was kind enough to [...]
