Night fishing and the moon
My favorite moon phase for numbers is from a quarter to three-quarters going towards full.
Westmoreland the protector
Billy was a great fisherman — arguably the best smallmouth fisherman of all time and certainly an angler far ahead of his time — but he wasn’t the most forthright guy when it came to sharing what he knew about his beloved Dale Hollow.
Take advantage of the topwater bite
From about now until the middle of June is the best topwater smallmouth fishing of the year.

Right now most of the smallmouth bass are on the beds or close to it. You can still catch them, but you have to think a little differently.

Last time I promised to start telling you about some of the things I learned from Billy. One of the most important things I learned early on is to think about artificial lure colors from the perspective of the fish.
Billy Westmoreland
I was so overwhelmed with being in a boat with the man that I spent most of the day just staring at him.

Why would anyone throw a bait out over open water away from the bank, especially water that was as deep as where he was fishing?
Brown bass rule: Part 2

Over the next couple of weeks, most everything smallmouth bass do will depend upon the water temperature.
