Smallmouth Suspense
Friday, 27 October 2023
Ladson, SC (August 15, 2023) – A lone ship in the emptiness of outer space, your boat seems lost, disoriented, far from shore. Like throwing darts at stars, your first exploratory casts into the open abyss feel like a fruitless leap of faith. Thankfully, you’ve learned a thing or two about pelagic baitfish—oily, nutritious

Multi-Tasking Fall Smallmouths
Sunday, 01 October 2023
Winter is looming. Smallmouth bass know it and also prepare for it. By early October, water temperatures have fallen below 60 throughout much of their northern range, and fall turnover is in the process of completion.

Friday, 01 September 2023
As water temperatures gradually cool, the lakes eventually turn over. Smallmouths slide deeper to the point of wintering, and the tackle box closes. As these events simultaneously occur, my boat’s tackle selection lessens each week – and the majority of gear and tackle I’ve carried up to this point will no longer be needed.

A Quick How-To for Pressured Smallmouth Waters
Monday, 28 August 2023
Many of the best inland smallmouth fisheries happen to be the most pressured lakes in the state of Wisconsin. Their trophy bass are more elusive as a result. I am not a fan of fishing pressure and high traffic water, but pursuing hot bites throughout the year brings me to these fisheries. It used

Rip Rap Smallmouth
Tuesday, 01 August 2023
I tied on a red craw squarebill crankbait for my customer fishing at the bow, directing him to cast it parallel with and tight to the bank, and to watch for the shoreline’s rock protrusions displaying on side-imaging.

Reptiles and Amphibians
Tuesday, 01 August 2023
Opportunistic predators with voracious appetites, largemouth bass will eat whatever living creatures swim and slither atop matted weeds or across the lake’s surface.
