There is a six-pound largemouth bass in a tree. I am staring at it. I can see it clearly from thirty yards away, because the tree in which it currently resides is not in the water. How does a thing like this happen? How does one end up in this situation? It’s June. We’re on…
Bass love to eat crayfish. This is no secret. Crayfish biologist Zachary Loughman has noted during studies just how much the smallmouth bass in his home state love munching on these. “I have done a lot of snorkel surveying for crayfish. The smallmouth bass are ridiculously brazen and brave, and they will follow you. Once…
It’s an unfortunate fact that bass fishing anywhere near the highest level requires significant monetary input. Buying and maintaining a boat, traveling, entry fees, and keeping a stocked tackle box will really put the squeeze on your wallet. Trust me, I know. The good news is there are plenty of ways to catch bass, including…
There’s a whole lot of content on the internet trying to teach people how to fish offshore. Most of it is not very good.

1. Wacky Rig Slap a hook into the middle of a stick worm and you’ve got an easy wacky rig setup. It’s the easiest bait around to fish and it is an absolute destroyer of worlds when it comes to pond fishing. Pick a worm of your choice. The classics are the Zoom Trick Worm…
I like Mike and Ikes. They’re good candy. This may sound a little weird too, but if they sit in the sun for a little bit and get chewier, they actually become even better. I figured this out one day on Kerr Lake, VA, and I remember it because up until about one o’clock in…
Not sure what bass look like on downscan? They look like this. I found this big school at sundown one Sunday in July on Shearon Harris in Central NC. Fun fact: When I found them, I also did not know what bass looked like on downscan, so I threw at them a few times, got…
