My Monthly Smallmouth Planner

  Smallmouths know when seasons change, and have the ability to prepare and adapt to all conditions. Their activity is always a product of changes whether they be seasonal, temperature, location, wind and weather, or some other biological influencer. If able to pattern accordingly, your fishing strategy, and the day’s potential fishing destination, must revolve
  A bad day of fishing is always better than the best day at work, and fishing during the worst day of fishable weather is always better than sitting indoors. Whether guiding my guests or leisure fishing solo, I must fish through everything from rain and snow, to heat or cold – and even cold

Largemouth Junk Strategies

  Across northern lakes, largemouths tend to seek the deepest edges and weed cover available, but where dense shallow cover is available, fish will also gravitate to these lake areas as well. Largemouths thrive in slop, utilizing it for their living quarters and prolific feeding. In these locations, largemouths frequently hunt for small prey that

Usually, the quarterback doesn’t like what he sees. This last-minute strategy change is dependent upon his ability to read the opponent, and

Whether seeking an aluminum deep-V or flat bottom jon, or a fiberglass bass boat or multi-species hull, acquiring any boat type from every manufacturer is expensive, as will be the cost of its ownership. To buy a new boat nowadays, one must have

Smallmouth Fish Finders

  Nothing is simpler on the water than slinging a search lure and catching whatever bites. My fish-finding strategy is all about getting paddletails to wiggle, shimmy, and swim lively throughout the entire water column on a medium to steady retrieve.
