With these, you can obtain valuable information that will help you know where to fish and also what methods are most productive in the body of water that you choose to fish in.

Crappie fishing reports will give you a great deal of valuable information about a particular fishing area. For example, you can find out details and information about the fishing zone itself as well as valuable information about the fish that have been caught there. You can find out the records for biggest or heaviest crappie caught and much more. You can also find out records for the most crappie caught in a particular area.

Here is what some example crappie fishing reports may tell you about a particular area, zone or body of water (From Texas Parks and Wildlife):

Water lightly stained; 56 degrees; 0.87′ low. Black bass are fair on dark jigs suspended in timber and along rocky drop-offs. Crappie are fair on minnows and jigs.

Water lightly stained; 46 degrees; 73.50′ low. Black bass are fair on jigs and live bait. Crappie are fair on minnows and jigs.

Water turbid; 53 degrees; 1.99′ low. Crappie are fair near pavilion pilings. White bass and hybrid striped bass are fair on live shad in front of the dry spillway and dam. Channel catfish are fair drift fishing with shad and on trotlines. Boat launching is difficult due to low water conditions.

Water lightly stained; 74 degrees (80 degrees at discharge); 0.40′ low. Black bass are fair on soft plastics and Rat-L-Traps in 10 – 12 feet. Striped bass are slow. White bass are slow. Crappie are slow.

A whole lot of advice can be said about fishing for bass in a river, but I speed through all of the best tips and tricks here in this article.

Before taking into consideration anything else, keep in mind that bass do not do very well at all in very rapid waters and need to have a way to hide in a break from the full blunt of the current. Very fast rivers are usually not great spots, but anywhere has potential. Just keep an eye out with the following advice in mind:

A river offers many possibilities for food for the bass, as well as many possibilities for danger. Shallower water can spell disaster in extreme temperatures for the bass, and there are many predators that feed on bass who also camp out prime river spots.

The bass metabolism is a key factor in finding great fishing on the river, because that determines how hard the bass is willing to work to stay fed and to stay out of trouble.

Usually, the best bet is to do some good, old-fashioned reconnaissance work of the area beforehand while the water is clear and low. This will help the savvy fisher spot attractive locations that are normally hidden or the object’s image obscured.

What we are looking for are deeper spots that are out of the way, particularly rocky areas that cut the flow of the river, weeds, stumps, tree trunks, and generally anything that looks like smaller fish and prey will seek the area out or be forced into it during higher waters.

Now, the next thing to look for is the type of prey that the bass will be going after. In the case of the largemouth, that is going to be virtually anything smaller than it is! The largemouth will go after smaller fish, crawdads, rodents, lizards, insects, and just about anything that it can reach. The largemouth can easily be fished topwater in slower areas of a river, particularly portions that are sealed off from the current well and have a lot of weeded cover, or anywhere along the bank where the edge overextends above the water.

The best places are going to be muddy covered areas where smaller prey can easily get in to but really have to struggle to get back out of. In these areas where the current fights itself, the best largemouth technique is to allow a nice colorful topwater lure to ride along the top towards the area, then to jerk and pull fast but in very small and short spurts as if the lure is trying to fight the current to get away from the slower area. The largemouth cannot resist such a sight.

Nor can the smallmouth, but the smallmouth likes to be much nearer to stronger current and solid objects, so the best bet for them is to look for any large object that really cuts the flow and gets the oxygen back into the water. This tendency also has a little to do with the smallmouth’s preference of deeper and colder water, because cool water generally absorbs more oxygen than warmer water and the smallmouth has a high metabolism, which means it needs to have a higher level of oxygen in the water. Another important tendency to keep in mind of the smallmouth is that it ideally feeds on very small bottom prey, like small crawdads and small mollusks.

This is an article about the use of DNA evidence to help nab Dennis Earl Bradford.

Jennifer Schuett waited for almost nineteen years to get justice. She was eight years old when she was sexually assaulted and got almost killed by Dennis Earl Bradford. After committing the crime Dennis Earl Bradford walked free for nineteen years .An affidavit was filed on 7th October, in Texas and the case was re – opened in the year .The police investigated the case and it send a request for repeat DNA test .FBI had kept DNA sample of Dennis in its database and the new technology helped in matching DNA sample to the DNA sample present with FBI.

There were other evidences against Dennis to prove him guilty. The artist sketch of the culprit exactly matched the picture on Bradford’s driving license. As the proofs were matched the police nabbed Bradford and send him to custody in Pulaski County charging him of attempt murder.

Referring to the case, Jennifer said she was eight years old when one night a man came into her bedroom through the bedroom window and pulled her through the parking lot to an overgrown field. She was sexually assaulted in the remote fields and then the man cut her throat, which ruptured her voice box. She was found lying on an ant hill by some children playing near the field .She was profusely bleeding and the assailant had left her to die, after committing the crime. Jennifer is now 27 year old and she said “she hoped one day the victim will be prosecuted.”
