Slow Rolling During Pre-Spawn

Cool water and pre-spawn conditions call for one retrieve when fishing a spinnerbait… slow rolling!

In this video, FLW Pro Terry Bolton details his thoughts on the gear and approach to making this presentation work when water temperatures are < 50 degrees F!

Did the ice just go out?

Perhaps it's time to break out those spinnerbaits for a little pre-spawn bassin' fun? :D

Winter Smallmouths Like Small Profile Baits

Though there are times when large profile baits work great during the winter, smaller baits are often the key to winter bassin' success...

Here’s another video tip to help get those sluggish winter smallmouths into the boat by using small profile baits…

Small tubes, reapers, or paddle-tailed grubs anyone?

Optimized Cold Weather Crankbait Fishing

Though many bass anglers key on one particular crankbait style for wintertime fishing, John Crews thinks you may want to broaden your selection to catch more cold water bass...

Take a moment to watch this video and see what John is talking about!

In addition to traditional squarebill cranks, thin-bodied crankbaits like the Rapala Shad Rap and Spro Little John rock during the cold weather period...

Are you stocked with crankbaits for cold water conditions?

Lures for Late Fall Fishing

As the year moves through the various seasons, we anglers notice changes in bass behaviour as well as the effective baits to catch them!

Rapidly cooling water mean slowing of the bass' metabolism meaning it's often time to switch to slow presentations as well.

Take a moment and listen to FLW Bass Pro, Terry Bolton describes three great lure selections for late fall bass fishing…

Froggin’ the Reeds

Reeds, cane grass, tule reeds, cat-tails are all forms of emergent vegetation that offers great cover for bass and other game fish.

Though it’s possible to fish these woody-like grass beds via different methods, one of the more exciting techniques to cover water effectively is walking a hollow-belly frog through the open lanes and weed edges…

Take a moment and watch this short but informative video to see what I mean:

Did the video get you excited to hit the reed beds with a frog?

It sure did the trick for me :)

Tight lines all!
