Bass Fishing Tips: A lot of anglers quit throwing good baits because the trends changed, not because the fish stopped eating them. In this episode, Stetson Blaylock breaks down the old-school lures that still matter, the exact bite windows where they shine, and why so many fishermen give up on them too early.

What you’ll learn: • Why some “forgotten” baits still outfish newer trends in specific situations • How Stetson used a Booyah Hard Knocker lipless crankbait at Guntersville with a slower 6.6:1 reel and 15 lb Tatsu • When a hollow-body swimbait like the Young Money Minnow is better than more modern swimbait options • Why subtle action mattered with cold water, dying shad, and grass in the back of the creek • When spinnerbaits, Texas rigs, lizards, and flipping tubes still play • Why confidence baits and knowing exact scenarios matter more than chasing every new lure

Guest: Stetson Blaylock — Bassmaster Elite pro, multiple time winner, and one of the best in the game at making old-school and modern techniques work together.

Bass Fishing Tips: Chatterbait color gets overcomplicated fast. In this episode, I break it down to the 3 color buckets I always start with so you can figure bass out faster, stop wasting time, and know when it’s worth dialing color in further.

We cover the best chatterbait colors for shad and minnow situations, natural green pumpkin and black/blue options, and high-contrast red and orange when you need fish to find the bait. I also explain my best all-around starting color, how I match trailers to each color bucket, and when blade color actually matters. If you’ve ever wondered whether fish just won’t eat a chatterbait that day or whether you’ve got the wrong color tied on, this is the framework I use to simplify it.

Bass fishing tips: If you’ve ever found bass, caught a few, and still knew you left fish behind, this episode is for you. Bass Fishing Hall of Famer Mark Davis breaks down the missed edge in modern bass fishing: not always finding more fish, but slowing down enough to make the fish you found actually bite.

What you’ll learn: • Why you should fish slow only after you know fish are there • The biggest mistake anglers make when the bite gets tough • How slow Mark really means on a Carolina rig and Texas rig • Why “drag it and sit on it” gets more fish to commit • When a Texas rig shines vs. when a Carolina rig is the better tool • How bottom composition, wind, and water clarity change Carolina rig setup • Why profile and angle can matter more than color • Why pressured fish often need dead-sticking and more soak time

Guest: Mark Davis — Bass Fishing Hall of Famer; 1995 Bassmaster Classic champion; three-time Angler of the Year; one of the best worm fishermen of all time.

Bass Fishing Tips: Spring bass are shallow… and so is everybody else. When the obvious water gets pounded, the bite goes from “easy” to “why won’t they eat?” fast. In this episode, I break down a simple two-lane plan: find overlooked water with easier fish, or stay in the popular areas and make the key adjustments that still get bites.

What you’ll learn: • How to use boat ramp locations on a lake map to find low-pressure sections fast • The “turnaround point” trick on big shallow flats where most boats quit • Using Google Earth history to spot ditches, low spots, and hidden sweet spots on flats • Where to look for pre-spawn and post-spawn bass when everyone is fishing shallow • Main-lake pockets and shallow main-lake flats that get ignored during the spawn rush • What rising water really does to bass and how to fish the old bank line vs new flooded cover • How to use electronics to find hidden cover, not just fish • The pressured-fish adjustments: fish deeper than the crowd, different looks, fish the fringe, and dead-sticking

Boat batteries used to be simple. Not anymore. With LiveScope, multiple graphs, trolling motors, pumps, Power-Poles, and modern outboards, getting the right battery setup matters more than ever. In this episode, Lester Miller of MillerTech breaks down how to choose the right batteries for a modern bass boat, what actually matters in lithium performance, and where anglers still get tripped up.

We cover how much amp-hour capacity most anglers really need, why 36V battery setups have changed, whether a dedicated electronics battery is worth it for LiveScope and graphs, and why lithium can hold image clarity better than old lead-acid setups late in the day. Lester also explains what separates premium lithium batteries from cheap online options, how BMS quality and low-temperature charging protection matter, what causes problems with lithium cranking batteries on big outboards, and why cold-weather charging and battery safety still deserve attention.

If you’re trying to get your batteries right once and not think about them again, this one should save you money, confusion, and a lot of avoidable problems.

Bass Fishing Tips: April bass fishing is predictable shallow water and heavy pressure: everyone’s around fish, but most anglers are throwing the same handful of baits. In this episode, we break down the 5 best baits for April bass fishing and the key retrieves that make them work when the spawn and post-spawn overlap and the easy stuff starts getting ignored.

You’ll learn when to press for bigger bites with a swimbait, how to fish a finesse Carolina rig in that 4–8 foot zone, the shaky head details that get pressured fish to commit, and how to cover water with topwater and a swim jig around shad spawn, bluegill activity, and fry guarders. We finish with the bonus reaction options—floating jerkbait and soft plastic jerkbait—when the bite just dies and you need a trigger, not a soak.

It’s spring, bass are where you expect them to be, and somehow you’re still not getting bit. In this episode, Zack Birge breaks down the real problem: not every pocket has the right group of fish, and even when it does, they won’t bite the same way every day.

Fresh off his win on Whitney and Waco, Zack explains how he approaches new water, what helps him find productive areas faster, and how he changes with the fish instead of forcing yesterday’s pattern. This is a sharp, practical shallow-water clinic on finding fish faster, choosing the right search baits, and knowing when it’s time to slow down.

What you’ll learn: • How Zack finds the best groups of spring bass instead of wasting time in empty-looking water • Why bait in the backs of creeks and pockets can be the fastest clue to active fish • Why chatterbait is his number one spring search bait and when spinnerbait, swim jig, and a lipless bait fit • The small bait changes that mattered, including profile and color adjustments when conditions shifted • When to slow down with a Senko or flipping bait after a moving bait stops producing • How he identified reloading areas where he could make multiple passes and keep catching fish • Why staying quiet in shallow water mattered more than using LiveScope in his winning area • The mindset rule that kept him getting bit: stop forcing what worked earlier and change with the fish

Guest: Zack Birge — Bass Pro Tour winner, current AOY leader, and one of the most versatile shallow and offshore anglers in the game.

Bass Fishing Tips: If you could only take one bait for the entire spring, what would it be—and why? In this episode I make the case for a swimming worm (speed worm) as the best “middle lane” spring tool: fast enough to cover water like a moving bait, but weedless and precise enough to fish thick cover like a Texas rig.

We break down when spring fish push anglers into two extremes (burn moving baits vs deadstick a Senko), why pressured bass respond to a different look, and how to fish a speed worm two ways: steady swimming to find fish, and slower Texas-rig style when they won’t chase. You’ll also get the exact setup—Berkley Speed Boss, pegged weight, 4/0 superline EWG—plus key retrieve rules (rod tip up vs down, steady vs stop-and-go), where it shines in the spring shallows, and the common mistakes that kill bites and hookups.
