River Patterns, Spring thru Fall
Wednesday, 30 April 2025
River fisheries continue to be lower-class smallmouth destinations to lakes and boat anglers. And that’s okay. More unpressured, unexploited, big fish are available in rivers than there are in inland lakes, but the challenge however is timing of their seasonal migrations.

Revised Top Tips for Early Spring Largemouths
Monday, 21 April 2025
Ice out is here and the moment it goes the fishery is ready. The script from winter to spring flips so quickly that it seems like largemouths have no time to react. They sense these changes underwater, and they swiftly relocate from their wintering areas to the warmest waters available in the system.

Horizontal Baits for This Spring
Monday, 14 April 2025
The most exciting bites of early spring occur in very shallow water, so you’ll need all the subtle and lightweight lures you can get away with to reach these tight quarters. Slow retrieve speed, and hang time within the strike zone are keys to the game.

Three Simple Ice-Out Smallmouth Strategies for 2025
Sunday, 23 March 2025
Finding smallmouths immediately at ice out depends on your temperature gauge and intricate knowledge of the lake’s locations as they relate to seasons. Be mindful that smallmouths are sensitive to water temperature changes. Any trickle of warmth is a trigger for increased feeding, while cold fronts are a killer.
