One of the oldest baits around doesn't look like much but when fished correctly can be a smallmouth killer even under the toughest of conditions...
Take a simple jighead typically ranging in size from 1/16 to 1/4 oz, tie on some animal or synthetic fur, adorn it with a trailer at times and out pops a piece of smallmouth candy, a simple hair jig...
Take a moment and watch the following video from the folks at InFisherman and see what I mean...
What are the best baits and bait colors for smallmouth bass?
Some might say it all depends on where you live and the types of smallmouth waters you fish.
Though bait and color selection is always somewhat subjective, there are some bait styles and colors that will catch smallmouth where ever you fish as long as the conditions are right.
Take a moment and hear what fishing legend Al Lindner has to say about his favorite baits and colors when chasing smallies across the U.S.
Though Al names his favorite bait brands, obviously similar baits from other manufacturers should work just as well!
Give them a try!
It’s been a few years now since Brad Paisley released his “fishing song” titled … “I’m Gonna Miss Her” but it sure struck a chord with many fishermen and still does today.
Though some may have believed this was just a song performed by a country singer with little bass fishing experience that is not the case with Mr. Paisley. Considering where Brad was raised (northern West Virginia on the Ohio River) it seems bassin’ and country singin’ were inbred from the start.
So here for your enjoyment is a video of Brad Paisley performing the song at the Grand Ole Opry …
Makes you kind of wonder though … would he really miss her?
But then again, Kimberly Williams-Paisley is such a wonderful lady, how could he not…
