Simply Smallmouths

  We’ve all observed that guy shore fishing from the river bank, or standing at the front deck of his boat, who’s brought with him all the gear he owns. He’s got so much shit laying around everywhere, that he doesn’t know what to do. You’d wonder whether he has a hoarding problem, or didn’t

Z-Man Diezel MinnowZ are Fish Finders

  Catch smallmouths quickly from lakes, rivers, flowages, and streams. This 4-inch slender swimbait personifies fishing on the fly, in search of quick bites.

My Monthly Smallmouth Planner

  Smallmouths know when seasons change, and have the ability to prepare and adapt to all conditions. Their activity is always a product of changes whether they be seasonal, temperature, location, wind and weather, or some other biological influencer.

Cold Fronts and How They Should Impact All Decision Making

  A bad day of fishing is always better than the best day at work, and fishing during the worst day of fishable weather is always better than sitting indoors. Whether guiding my guests or leisure fishing solo, I must fish through everything from rain and snow, to heat or cold – and even cold

Largemouth Junk Strategies
