Spring Smallmouth Hot Spots

  Usually by late April, another spring season has arrived – for me, anyways. The cabin gets opened for the year, I pick-up my boat from winter storage, and scramble to make preparations to fish within the next day or two. It’s the most exciting time of the year!

River Smallmouths Early and Late

  My region’s river systems provide some of the best and most exciting smallmouth fishing early and late in the year. This year (2024), will remain to be seen, as we are in a major drought right now.

Location-Driven Largemouths

  In my region, the spring season is short and condensed, lasting from ice-out through spawn. Its duration varies each year, as it relates to both.

While catching smallmouths from 39 to 42-degree water temperature is not an easy task across every Northwoods lake, results can be achieved if you are

When to Camp For Bites

  In the past, some fishing partners have given me grief for fishing too slow and methodical. There is a reason for this madness, which has been developed over several years of patterning big bass and understanding their locations as it relates to season, feeding times, and behavior on many of the specific waters I

Things I’ve Dismissed in the Past and Wished I Hadn’t

  I don’t live with any regrets, but I do wish I had a different perspective and opinion of some fishing related concepts and products long before I was convinced on them.
