Top Four Baits for August Fishing

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 […]

Two Easy Ways to Catch Spring Bass

When I think about spring bass I think about bass that are in transition. They’re moving from winter areas into shallow, spawning areas and then back out again to where they’ll spend the summer.

And so, with my partners at VMC, we developed a skirted weight that’ll add a different look to your lure, regardless of which one you choose to rig with this bad boy. We […]

I Fish the Neko Rig

Last week at the 2018 GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods I fished the Neko rig. I didn’t finish all that high but I did catch several bass that I wouldn’t have caught any other way. So, I thought it was worth sharing. The Neko rig is a super successful technique because it mimics the real thing. When it’s fished right it kind of pecks along the bottom. That’s exactly what real baitfish do when they’re feeding. They put their tails up and then they just peck, peck, peck as they move across the bottom eating whatever they […]
