DON’T Use this LURE for BASS FISHING + THIS IS WHY (Fail) - On our fishing road trip we’re trying all different fishing lures to catch bass on these ultra clear water lakes. One way you can do that is use super tiny baits that are supposed to catch fish like crappie and bluegill. But with the clear water and pressured fish it can be the perfect solution […]

NOBODY THINKS to Use This LURE for BASS FISHING in FALL - Some of the best fishing lures for catching bass are right in front of our faces but nobody seems to recognize them.

CRAWFISH or CRAYFISH? Bass EAT THEM ~ (BEST LURES to MIMIC Them) - Whether you call them crawfish or crayfish bass love to to eat. Some of the best baits and fishing lures mimic these creatures and their darting action across rocks and sandy bottoms. On our road trip we fished Green Lake which is a renowned smallmouth fishery that also has some great laregmouth bass as well. […]
The BEST FISHING REEL Ever MADE + (REEL HANDLE REPAIR) - There is no doubt in my mind the Shimano Curado 200e is and was the best fishing reel ever made. These days I pair it with my heavy cover fishing rods for frog fishing, punching, flipping and anything that involves braided fishing line. These are basically antique fishing reels but they’ve held up to catching […]
IF you DON’T FISH a CHATTERBAIT LIKE THIS (You’re MISSING OUT)!!! - The Wisconsin road trip continues on the Madison Chanin of Lakes and if you don’t fish a chatterbait like this, I’m telling you you’re missing out. We fished grass like we were in Florida with a chatterbait using a ripping technique to trigger bass in submerged vegetation to come out and eat. It’s a really […]
The SOFT PLASTIC WORM RIG (NO One Talks ABOUT) - Our fishing road trip to Wisconsin has begun and it’s time to reveal one of the soft plastic worm rigs that no one talks about but used to catch me a ton of big bass. It’s a super simple diy rig or you can buy one pre rigged but in essence it’s a pre rigged […]

Fishing a tournament in March, it is now off limits until then, never fished this body of water this time of the year. I am not asking where, but best methods?
probably going to see a lot of bed fish and a first wave a bream bedding carl. jigs, frogs, big ez’s, casting and pitching will come into play.
Love, love, love your take on catching bass! Exquisite videos, including techniques, baits, gear, angles, music, and excuse me, GIANTS! Mikey, just curious, what are your thoughts on becoming a pro and putting all of your bass fishing knowledge against some of the current best?
i would probably suck ahahhahah and get myself schooled.
Looking for a first bass boat any suggestions trying to decide between aluminum or glass!!! Please respond man love your vids and how u relate to the everyday fishermen!!!
really depends what kind of water and how big it is. aluminum is great for the price and very easy to mod however if you’re fishing bigger water speed is a challenge and anything over 2ft gets pretty bumpy. also want to consider if you fish alone or with multiple people in the boat. there isn’t a ton of storage in the aluminum boats and they’re a little cramped with 2 or more people.
Who makes your jigs because I want to buy some. Your YouTube on jig got me so I want to try them.
