I am FIRED UP to tell you about one of the craziest, most unique baits I’ve ever had in my hands. It’s brand new from Berkley, part of the Maxscent lineup, and it’s called the Berkley PowerBait Maxscent Flux Gill Creature Bait. And listen, when I say this thing is different, I mean really different. This isn’t just another worm or swimbait. This thing is like a science experiment mixed with a panfish! Let’s start with what makes it so special: the shape. Most of the MaxScent baits we’re all used to, Flat Worm, Hit Worm, The General, are long […]
It’s October, and that means fall fishing is kicking in all over the country. The leaves are changing, pumpkins are out, Halloween is around the corner, and those bass are making big moves. Now listen, fall doesn’t look the same everywhere. If you live north of Virginia, you’re already in full fall mode. If you’re south of Virginia, you’re just easing into it. But no matter where you live, the number one thing in October is baitfish. Shad, herring, alewife, cisco, shiners, minnows are what the bass are chasing. I’m giving you my top four baits for the month, broken […]
It’s September and we’re talking fishing! You know the drill. Every month I give you my top four baits, and September is no different. But here’s the catch: depending on where you live, September can mean two totally different things. If you’re up north, places like Ohio, Michigan, New York, this month is the beginning of fall transition. You’re waking up to crisp 50-degree mornings, and those cooler nights are already dropping the water temps. The bass feel it, and they start sliding toward that fall pattern. But if you live south of the Mason-Dixon line; the Carolinas, Georgia, Texas, […]
Let’s face it, August is HOT. I don’t care if you’re in California, Maine, Texas, or Ohio, this is the hottest month of the year. The water is warm, the sun is beating down, and the boat traffic is heavy. That makes fishing tough. So today I want to talk about my top four baits for August. I’m going to give you two for the northern part of the country, let’s say Virginia and up and two for the southern half, Virginia down to Florida, Texas, and beyond. Whether you’re fishing deep, thick, or current, I’ve got you covered. Northern […]
Today, we’re talking about one of the ‘hottest’ times of the year, July fishing. And I mean that literally! No matter where you are…up North, down South, Midwest, or the West Coast, July is full-on summer. The water’s warm, the air’s hot, and the bass are in that classic summer mode. Now, when we talk about summer fishing, there are three key things you’ve got to remember: deep, thick, or current. That’s where the fish go when things heat up. They either go deep where it’s cooler, hide in thick cover where there’s shade and food, or hang out in […]
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, […]
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. […]
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 […]
February is here so it’s time to talk about my top four baits for this month. As always, I’m going to break it down by region. I’ve got two baits for the top half of the country, we’re talking Midwest, Virginia, Ohio, and anywhere north of that, and two baits for the southern half, stretching from North Carolina all the way down to Florida and Texas. Let’s dive in and talk about how to catch those cold-water fish in February! First, let’s start up north, where winter is still in full swing. The water is at its coldest point, and […]
Let’s go over a topic that I don’t think I’ve written on before and that’s toads! No, not those hollow-bodied frogs you’re used to. I’m talking about soft plastic toads. This style of frog fishing is totally unique, different, and stands alone from hollow-bodied frogs. Let’s jump right into the world of toad fishing! For years, toad fishing seemed very regional. In places like Florida and Louisiana, everyone was throwing toad-style lures. But in other parts of the country like the West Coast, Midwest, and even up here in the East, this style wasn’t as popular. Let me tell you, […]
