Is your spinnerbait the best it can be?
Right out of the package, a lot of spinnerbaits are good, but few are as good as they could be for your waters, your conditions and your bass. Make the changes that lead to success.
Spring is here! Are you ready?
Forget the calendar, Mother Nature is telling the smallmouths that spring is here.
Buttercups and skunks
Nature has certain cues that are nearly infallible when it comes to signalling the seasons.
Now’s the time
Every time I write something about what’s happening things change. If I write about cold weather, it turns warm. That kind of fast weather change can make for tough fishing.
Fishing an early spring
Because of the mild winter, it looks like it’s going to be an early spring. That means we’d better change our tactics if we expect to catch them.
The February binge
Let's talk about the bass binge that happens around the country the first few times warm rainwater rushes into the lakes and rivers.
Picking the right lure, Part 3
In the last two columns, we talked about how to deal with fronts when you’re picking your lures. So, it only makes sense in this final column to talk about how to find specific spots as the smallmouth move back and forth.
Picking the right lure, Part 2
The weather is a little closer to normal (cold) than it was last week. I should have known that it would turn cold as soon as I wrote something about warm weather and warm water.
Picking the right lure, Part 1
I’ve been noticing lately that a lot of the guys seem to be worried about picking the right lure during the winter.
Looking for a Giant
Some guys will fish for days looking for that one big bite that’ll put a replica of a 5 or 6 pound smallmouth above their mantel. If that’s you, get your rod and reels ready because now’s a pretty good time to go looking for one.
