Before we can go forward, our discussion must begin with a breakdown of the different types of jigs available, and some quick observations about each. There are really 3 main types of jigs you can buy, and each has a specific purpose and place in bass fis...

Of the three primary habitats of bass, rocky structure may be the easiest to fish, but it's also the least understood With spring being the biggest exception, bass are more predictable when weeds and wood are more readily available. On the other hand, h...

Mark Zona and I call it "power finesse," but other people have described it as how I fish fast ... slowly. I get a lot of jokes about always fishing really fast. Mark Davis even tells a story about my fishing a Carolina rig. When he flails his arms aro...

In 2007, I put on a virtual cranking clinic at the Bass Pro Shop in Sevierville Tennessee. My 13-pound margin of victory, while not a record, was enough to stun even the most hardened of fishing fanatics. (By the way, I am not bragging). My secret? Well,...

Fall is just such a time, and I point to the spinnerbait as the perfect solution. The spinnerbait during the fall of the year is sort of like the cat's pajamas. There are just so many ways that you can fish the bait, whether it's rolled slowly through b...

As the days become shorter and the water temperatures begin to cool in most parts of the country, many bass anglers reach for a crankbait to catch some late season action. I have some tips when it comes to late summer and early fall crankbait tactics that...

Fort Loudon and Tellico lakes in Tennessee at this time of the year are great lakes to take the opportunity to go out and do some bass fishing. Despite the cold weather, and brutal winds that can come through at this time, if you can bare it, it is worth ...
