Company: Berkley (http://www.berkley-fishing.com/)
Lure type: Crankbait
Frittside
Sizes and colors: Available a 2.25-, 2.5- and 2.75-inch models in 18 colors, including candy apple red craw, cream pie, honey had, Lone Ranger, MF bluegill, sexy back, spicy mustard and spray tan.
Target species: Largemouth and smallmouth bass.
Technique: It’s been 26 years since David Fritts won the 1993 Bassmaster Classic. But that doesn’t mean he can’t still fish, or that the lures he used then don’t catch fish today. Proof is said to the the Frittside. New from Berkley for 2019, this lure got a lot of attention for its ability to get bass at this year’s Classic. It has a plastic body – with the durability and casting performance that entails – but swims in the water with the motion of a balsa lure. It’s said to be best for tough conditions when fish are sluggish or heavily pressured. It mimics a variety of species with its flat body design. Berkley said it creates more flash than any of its other crankbaits.
Sugg. retail price: $8.99.
Notable: These lures, based on size, are designed to run five, seven and none fet deep, with the smaller lures the shallowest. The two larger models have weighted bnills to get them down faster. All come with Fusion 19 hooks.
Tip of the week
Paddling season is winding down and that means sales. Check online and you’ll find outfitters in many places selling off used canoes, kayaks and stand-up. Specialty paddling shops and big box retailers are or will be offering similar discounts on new gear. So it’s a good time to get in the game and have fun. But you have to be safe, too. So if you’re new to paddling, it’s best to educate yourself on how to do both. A good place to start is right here. There you can, at your pace and time of your choosing, take a free Coast Guard-approved training course that covers everything from how to get your boat to the water and back to how to enjoy your time there in a responsible way.
Recipe of the week
Baked stuffed apples
Ingredients
- ½ cup raisins
- 6 baking apples
- ½ cup chopped almonds
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 ounces orange juice concentrate
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 ¼ cups water
Directions
Apples are a great and easy treat to take along on campouts, wonderful eaten just as they are.
There’s nothing wrong with dressing them up every now and again, though. Here’s one way to do it.
To start, hollow out the apples, removing the cores. Just be sure not to cut all the way through.
In one bowl, combine raisins, almonds, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix it all well. Then, using your fingers, fill the apple cores with that stuffing.
In a second bowl, blend the water, honey and orange juice concentrate.
Place the apples in a Dutch oven and pour the orange juice mixture over top. Bake for about 50 minutes at roughly 400 degrees until the apples are tender. Remove them, spoon any extra juice over the apples, and serve.
