Paddletails for Pre-Turnover Smallmouths

  Prior to turnover, paddletails and swimbaits dominate. When this bite peaks, the boat goes through 2 or more packages of tails per day.

Horizontally September

  As water temperatures gradually cool, the lakes eventually turn over, and smallmouths slide deeper to the point of wintering, 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.

The Features of Flats

  Trip after trip, and the later we got into September month, the smallmouth bite was steadily improving it seemed.

Simply Smallmouths

  We’ve all observed that guy shore fishing from the river bank, or standing at the front deck of his boat, who’s brought with him all the gear he owns. He’s got so much shit laying around everywhere, that he doesn’t know what to do. You’d wonder whether he has a hoarding problem, or didn’t

Z-Man Diezel MinnowZ are Fish Finders

  Catch smallmouths quickly from lakes, rivers, flowages, and streams. This 4-inch slender swimbait personifies fishing on the fly, in search of quick bites.

If able to pattern accordingly, your fishing strategy, and the day’s potential fishing destination, must revolve

Cold Fronts and How They Should Impact All Decision Making

  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

#NoScope Moping

  Somewhere out there, out in the uncharted and unexplored abyss of the deepest, coldest, and clearest inland lakes, an open water world exists where offshore roaming predators hunt together and follow around pelagic prey.

Fanatical for Finesse Swimbaits

  Oftentimes, smallmouths can be picky eaters, preferring only one certain paddletail (brand, color, or size) while ignoring the others. Then on other days, they will showcase no behavioral or feeding judgment, hammering everything swimming past.
