A few Great summer time tips!

First fish early! put your boat in the water in the dark and be at your first spot as it is just STARTING to get light (just remember safety first, know your water and take a spot light if you need to). This is a very productive time of day! I tend to run and gun more early in the day when the bass are normally more active. As the sun comes up move to shaded area to extend the first light bite. Remember that bass tend to be on the edge of cover early in the morning, like docks & pads. One… Continue

Smallie fever!

Hit Lake Washington on Saturday. Fished for about 2 hours and got 3 Smallies all over 3 lbs and one over 4lbs. Also got a huge Trout. The bite was on big time. I was showing my brother how to fish deep water Smallies so I spent a lot of time messing around with the graph. Fished about 45-50 feet and was fishing fast to get a bite. 1/2 oz football head with a spider grub. Went out today and got my ass handed to me. I think the small weather front that came through shut them off. Curious to see… Continue

think out side the box to find bass!

Try fishing places no other fisherman would place a lure! Places that may be hard to get a bass out of, but be prepared! In tournaments near the end of the day I look for places the bass have pulled back into. Places that are very hard to get into or get the bass back out of. I am a bit famous for fishing BETWEEN boards on docks floating on the water. I have pulled 8 pound bass from between logs less that one inch apart. I carry a flipping stick with out a reel on it. I use that to sweep under… Continue

Winter bass fishing tactics

Some would say that it's not worth you time to go out and fish for bass in winter. The fishing is too slow and they don't eat much when the water drops below 50 deg. I disagree! Infact if you break it down, It can be easier to locate and catch Bass in these conditions. There are a few key things that you need to look for and do to find these bass and it works very well. These techniques work primarily for smallmouth. The first thing I look for is the best area to fish. I look for hard… Continue
