Summertime fishing can be great, but it can also be ultra-tough. Imagine being out on the water when it’s hot, sticky, and miserable, and the fish just aren’t biting. It’s frustrating, right?

Here we go! First, let’s talk about fishing deeper. When the water temperature […]

Whether you live in one of those places, or in California or South Texas, the reaction of the fish to cold fronts may not be to go offshore, but rather to bury deep […]
