Are you missing fish because of your sonar settings? In this video, I break down the exact tweaks, views, and sonar tricks I use on my Lowrance HDS Pro to consistently find and catch deep bass — especially when they’re barely showing up on the screen. From screen layout to contrast adjustments and target separation, I walk you through the setup that helps uncover subtle clues most anglers overlook. Whether you’re tournament fishing or just trying to locate structure and bait offshore, these sonar secrets will help you dial it in and catch more fish.

This swimbait trick could change the way you fish for bass. In this video, I reveal a deadly secret that no one’s talking about — modifying soft plastic swimbaits like Keitech-style paddletails and fluke style baits with small blades to add extra flash and live-action movement. This simple tweak makes your swimbait look more natural, triggers more strikes by adding flash, and helps you stand out when bass are pressured. I’ll walk you through exactly how to rig it, the components you need, and the best swimbaits for modification to dominate your next bass fishing tournament. Whether you’re fishing clear water, grass edges, or deep structure, this swimbait modification will give you a little tournament edge. #SwimbaitFishing #BassFishing #FishingHack #SwimbaitRig #FishingTips #Tournament #BassFishingTips #hack

What’s the big deal about swimbait fishing in spring? In this video we talk to my friend Keith who loves to fish swimbaits for bass pre spawn, spawn, and during the summer to catch HUGE fish. We go through what swimbait lure to use, what rod, what reel, and how to fish the bait around grass and cover to catch bass. We even run into Tactical Bassin!!!

There is only one lure you need to catch bass in spring and honestly the way it triggers fish it’s like cheating!!! The Ned Rig is one of the best fishing lures for a couple reasons – it catches small fish and giant bass but also any angler can fish it from a beginner to an expert angler. It’s a finesse style technique that catches all species of bass and especially in late spring fishing a Ned Rig is just like cheating because the fish can’t resist it! I rig my ned rig jig with a small soft plastic worm stickbait that I cut down – a Gambler Ace and it’s tough to beat a color like green pumpkin. Since the water was not super clear and we were fishing for smallmouth and largemouth bass I used some chartreuse dip on the tail as well.

Fishing for bass is never the same even if you go to the same lake. I’ve found on this new adventure that these fish can deceive you a bit especially since I don’t have a history of patterns, techniques, and tunnel vision on what parts of the lake are best at certain times. I’m starting to figure it out though and one thing I’ve found is during the summer these bass will deceive you and mix with other fish species in large schools giving the impression that what you’re seeing on your Lowrance isn’t bass….but it actually is, just not totally bass.

There is seriously 1 bait that can catch fish no matter if you’re fishing a lake, bank fishing, even spillway fishing. It is probably one of the most versatile soft plastic lures ever created for fishing and this weeks video theme is back to basics so we are going to break down 4 techniques you can use with a Senko style fishing lures. If I were to have one soft plastic worm in my boat for late winter and early spring fishing this would be it. I think as anglers sometimes we forget how versatile it is and all the rigging and technique options you have to fish them. In this video we go through the Texas Rig, wacky rig, ned rig, and weightless Texas Rig.

Fishing for bass with spoons is awesome this time of year especially as we go in to winter fishing and the cold water periods. it seems hard baits like spoons that mimic forage such as shad can be key to triggering bass to bite. One of the most important tricks to fishing magnum spoons I have found is not allowing the fish to jump once they’re hooked. You basically reel down and drag the fish in and boat flip them no matter how giant they are. We go through some spoon fishing tips and how to find the right spoon bass on your graph.

On the search for monster bass we fished a school of giant fish with a super finesse ned rig on light line and caught some big fish but lost a huge bass. I actually had the fish in my hands when I dove down to try and grab it after it came off the hook! When I’m in Florida I love exploring the deeps for trophy bass and that’s exactly what we did. I used my HDS Live to locate some groups of fish in 20-30ft of water and was forced to use finesse techniques to get them to bite like a drop shot, neko rig, and mostly a ned rig. What fishing lures, fishing rods, and equipment was I using?

I picked out some of my favorite early winter bass fishing lures for fishing as the water starts to get cold and fish turn to their prespawn and winter patterns. Choice baits this time of year are hardbaits such as jigs, crankbaits, Red Eye Shad style trap lures – however swimbaits still play a big roll I have some super unique micro swimbaits to share with you. A rigs or umbrella rigs are also a big deal on lakes like Chickamauga, Guntersville, and any lake that is shad focused. The new Gambler Goat Locked Up Swimbait Head is perfect for a rig and we review it. Just remember, the best part about this time of year is if you brave the winter weather and put your time in bass fishing these cold water conditions can produce some of the biggest fish of the year – there is a real opportunity for an angler to catch a PB or trophy bass.
