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 […]
I am fired up because today we’re talking about a bait that’s going to completely change the way you fish for suspended bass, the ones hanging off the bank or the ones you spot on forward-facing sonar. This bait isn’t just a new lure; it introduces a whole new technique. That’s right, I’m talking about the Krej from Berkley! The name alone is clever—Krej is “jerk” spelled backward. It’s like a reverse jerkbait in every sense. It’s got the profile of a jerkbait, but that crazy, upward-facing lip is what makes it so special. Let me tell you, this bait […]
Whether you’re up north battling ice-cold water or down south dealing with chilly winter temps, I’ve got two baits for each region to help you catch more fish this month! January: A Winter Wonderland for Fishing January is winter, no matter where you live. Even in Florida, Texas, or Louisiana, it’s still one of the coldest months of the year. Up north, it’s even colder, with air and water temps at their lowest. When the water gets this cold, fish slow down. They’re lethargic, hanging out on deeper, steeper breaks where they can conserve energy. These aren’t the shallow, tapering […]
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, […]
In today’s blog, I’m going to talk to you about a technique that I think is going to explode over the next couple of years: mid strolling, or mid-depth strolling. If you’re out there chasing suspended fish and struggling to get them to bite, mid strolling is the technique you need to know. This is a finesse technique designed to trigger those tough, suspended fish into striking, something you can’t always do with traditional baits or methods. I’m excited to dive into the details and give you the inside scoop on what’s been working for me. So, let’s break it […]
Let’s talk about my top four baits for the month of November. I’m going to break this down for my anglers up North—think Virginia and above—then I’ll give you my picks for the Southern states down to Florida, Texas, and Louisiana. So, let’s get into it! Understanding November’s Transition November is a unique month for fishing. For those of you in the northern states, it’s the tail end of fall, but it also marks a transitional period for our fish friends. As they move away from their feeding areas and start migrating towards their winter spots, this is the time […]
Let’s talk about a technique that is making waves in the fishing world: Ned jigging, or the Ned jig. This technique combines two of my all-time favorites into one powerful fishing method. So, let’s break it down! What is Ned Jigging? At its core, the Ned jig is a skirted jig with a soft plastic stick bait attached to the back. The concept is straightforward but super effective. The skirted jig lets you power fish and catch big bass, while the Ned rig is a finesse technique that excels in enticing bites when the fish are finicky. It’s a perfect […]
In this blog we’re diving into my top four baits for the month of October. Whether you’re up north where it’s full-blown fall or down south where the fish are still transitioning, I’ve got the tips you need to get those bass biting this month. So let’s break it down! Understanding October Fishing First off, let’s talk about what’s happening in October. Depending on where you live, it can either be early fall or full-on fall feed time. For those of you up north, like Virginia and beyond, October means fish are really starting to pack on the pounds before […]
Let’s dive into a technique that’s a total game-changer when it comes to catching big bass, lots of bass, and sometimes, it’s the only way to get those stubborn fish to bite. We’re talking about speed worms, swim worms, cut tails, paddle tails, whatever you want to call them, I like to call them speed worms or swim worms. I’m going to show you why this little worm can make all the difference when other lures just aren’t working. Before we jump into the nitty-gritty of these worms, let me take you back to 2003. I was fishing the Bassmaster […]
