We’re far enough along in the season to start thinking seriously about the Toyota Angler of the Year title, and who’s going to win it. Obviously, it’s something that I’ve been thinking about. To...
Before we go any farther I want to remind everyone that flipping mats is about having the right tackle in the first instance. It’s one of the few bass fishing techniques that I’d say absolutely...
My reel choice is pretty simple. I use a high-speed, 7.3:1 gear ratio model, Quantum SHD200HPT. The thing with the really high gear ratio is that I can get the slack out of my line quickly. I’m not...
Flipping mats is an important part of being a complete bass angler. Before we get into tackle and technique, though, we need to talk a little about what a mat is and why you should fish it all year...
Well, after another dismal tournament, I’ve decided to bench Gerald, that often-overbearing voice in my head. For the Bull Shoals/Norfork event, I heeded his advice and tanked horribly. This time,...

I can’t say that I like finishing second to anyone, even a legend like Rick Clunn. We’re competitors. We don’t like losing. Still, the first Elite Series tournament of 2016 on the St. Johns River...
EVERS TALKS TITLE ON IKE LIVE WEB SHOWMike Iaconelli has a knack for getting other pros to open up. He knows what’s interesting from an angler’s perspective, and he has that East Coast, no-question...
Winyah Bay in Georgetown, S.C., should lay out like the Sabine River. This won’t be the “Sabine River of 2015,” but rather the 2013 version. With no prior knowledge of this fishery for most anglers...
