    When winter sets in and you’re kind of looking for something to do to get off the couch I suggest you take some time and work on your boat. Fishing boats get pretty nasty and unless you’re like me and obsessed with keeping it clean then a few hours of work during these cold ...

    Winter is a season of nesting for many Kentuckians. Hot cocoa and a book by the fireplace is more appealing than getting outside in the wet and cold.

    However, for those who enjoy solitude and having lakes completely to themselves, winter is the best time to get ...

    It’s the time of year where fishing fast and being aggressive can reap you some great results; I know wintertime traditionally is time to slow down and be precise. However if you’re looking for that big bite, ripping a rattle bait through the scarce grass can win you some big ...

    Realization is that most anglers prefer the warmer winter day; I certainly understand that as cold windy winter days are tough on most of us. The problem is if your after a trophy size bass, those nasty cold rainy snowy days in the mid of winter is generally when you’re going ...

    When the cold weather sets in I have a few favorites; baits that I have been using for many years and God willing for many more to come. The thing they all have in common is they have caught fish for me for a long time, they are all presented slowly and they are confidence baits ...

    The bravest of hearts and determination is the only thing that can lead you to the right spot on a cold winter day; and even in North Alabama we can see winter time morning temperatures in the teens forcing you to pick the correct targets. I have personally put my boat in the ...

    When you get in your boat in middle to late December on a cold winter fishing day you start to wonder where do I start? You look out over the lake and there is no visible grass, there is only visible hints like rocks main channel points and structure below. I believe there are ...

    As we see the water temperatures start to drop below 60’s we will see movement of the bass toward their winter locations. As in any lake the bass will locate near the deepest parts of the lake. That doesn’t mean that the bass will travel miles to find deep water in fact quite ...

    The biggest change in fall fishing occurs more in how the largemouth bass changes their habits more than any time of the year. Bass will more often follow the forage or bait fish than any other time of year; this can make them harder to locate as most anglers are use to looking ...

    Many times we head to the water, thinking how great it would be to catch just a bunch of fish; size is irrelevant, just catch fish. The problem is most of us don’t understand the basics enough to go target just bites and end the day with bunches of fish.

    It’s always a topic on my boat as to which fishing knot do I use and why is one better than the other. Well like everyone else I have my opinion and try to share my thoughts with customers when they ask. To me the right knot begins with the type of fishing line you’re using; ...

    Every year as the fall approaches, I start to remember the falls of the past where we could catch 100 fish a day on small medium running crank baits. I recall the endless numbers of fish we could catch just by working that bait off the edges of the grass beds. The key was just ...
