Listen, I’m gonna say something that might get me in trouble with the old guard of bass fishing. Are you ready? I’m giving up the goods on a technique, a method, that’s been hush-hush for way too long. This one’s been kept in the vault. I’m talking lock and key, man. One of those techniques that guys have been doing on the down-low, never wanting the cat to get out of the bag, but guess what? I’m cracking it wide open right now. We’re talking about skipping a buzzbait under stuff! Now listen, if you’ve ever fished a buzzbait before, […]
Top 4 Baits for June – Let’s Go! June is one of my favorite months of the year, not just because June 17th is my birthday (happy birthday to me!), but because it marks the real start of summer bass fishing! This is the month when things start to change. Up north, bass are just finishing up the spawn. They’re tired, skinny, and looking to eat. Down south, they’re already in their summer haunts, out deep, near ledges and main lake points. So today, we’re talking about my top four baits for June. I’m giving you two baits for […]
You guys hit us up all the time with questions, and this one kept coming up: How do you fish high water? I’m talking about after heavy rain, when water starts rising, gets dirty, and spreads out all over the place. It can be confusing, frustrating, and flat-out tough. But don’t worry, I’m going to walk you through it. Understanding High Water Let’s start with a little theory. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again because it’s THAT important: Rising Water = Rising Fish Falling Water = Falling Fish That’s the rule. Simple. When water starts coming up, […]
Let’s talk about fishing in May, and I’ve got four of my absolute favorite baits to throw this time of year. We’re splitting it up like always, two baits for the North (let’s say Virginia and above), and two for the South (North Carolina and below). Let’s get to it! What’s Up With May? Before we get into the baits, we’ve gotta talk about what’s happening underwater. May is a month of change—a transition. In the South, it’s late spring. Those fish have already spawned and now they’re sliding out, looking to feed and recover. In the North, fish are […]
I am so pumped to be talking to you about this one today because it is timely, it’s the perfect time of year for this technique. We’re talking jerkbaits. Yep! One of the best lures out there for getting reaction bites. And today, I’m going to show you how to modify your jerkbait to catch more fish. Now let’s start with the basics. A jerkbait is one of those lures that just triggers fish. It’s that erratic side-to-side movement…boom boom boom…that gets those fish to follow. And the pause… oh man, that pause is where the magic happens. […]
If you’re an angler, April is THE month, right? It’s springtime, the water’s warming up, and the fish are getting more active and there’s a lot going on. But depending on where you are, April can mean different things. That Mason-Dixon line we talk about comes into play. If you’re north of Virginia, you’re probably looking at pre-spawn fish, while if you’re south, you’re dealing with fish that are either spawning or post-spawn. No matter where you are, though, April is an amazing month to catch bass, and I’m excited to share my go-to baits for the season! 1. Lipless […]
I’m super pumped to talk about one of the hottest new rigging techniques that’s been killing it out on the water—the Free Rig. If you haven’t heard of it yet, don’t worry because we’re going to break it down for you. The Free Rig is all about giving the bait maximum action, and it’s perfect for fooling fish that have seen every other rig out there. So let’s talk about selecting the right baits to make your Free Rig as effective as possible. Before we jump into picking the best baits, let’s quickly talk about what the Free Rig is […]
Hey folks, I’ve got a REALLY, REALLY good one for you today! We’re talking about a bait that is changing the way we think about jig fishing. Say hello to the Missile Jigs Monster Jig! It’s big and beefy compared to a standard full-size jig. We’re diving into EVERYTHING—why this jig exists, how to fish it, where to throw it, and of course, the best trailer selection, rod, reel, and line setup. This jig is a completely different animal, folks, and I’m here to tell you it’s a GAME-CHANGER! The Specs: What Makes the Monster Jig Special? Alright, let’s talk […]
I’ve got an awesome blog for you here! I’m so pumped because we’re talking about a soft plastic lure that a lot of people have totally forgotten about. This is a lure that used to be a big deal back in the day, but now it’s kind of faded into the background. I’m talking about the grub. G-R-U-B, the grub. Now, if you’re an older angler, let’s say 40 or older, you’re probably nodding your head right now. You know exactly what a curl tail grub is. You probably grew up fishing with it. But if you’re younger, you might […]
It’s hard to believe it’s December already but here we are. In this blog, I’m going to outline for you the top four baits for the month of December. And, as always, we’re breaking it down for you depending on where you live. If you’re in the North, above Virginia, you’ll get two baits that dominate cold-weather fishing. For my Southern anglers, Carolinas and below, you’ll get two picks perfect for those transitional conditions. But before we dive into the baits, let’s talk about December because, man, it’s a unique time to fish! December: A Month of Change Up North, […]
