Smallmouth Melanosis

  I remember catching my first smallmouth with black blotches on it in 2010, and this oddity has perplexed me ever since.

A Seminar on Z-Man Diezel MinnowZ

  This 4-inch slender swimbait personifies fishing on the fly, in search of quick bites. Whether exclusively targeting smallmouths, casting for walleyes, or pursuing a mixed bag of not knowing what you might end up catching, the 4-inch Diezel Minnow is a fish catcher on every water.

Z-Man Chatterbait WillowVibe for Early Season Smallmouths

  Last winter, a few staff members from Z-Man Fishing Products tipped me off on this concoction, suggesting I try it for ice-out smallmouths. It was tried, but elsewhere….. on the rivers.

My thought was that they’d be in the deepest, most tolerable water available (to them) for survival and protection. Keep in mind,

GOAT Smallmouth Lures (Part I)

  There’s a hall of fame for anglers, but none for lures. If such a shrine was in existence, it would be impossible for a committee to officially declare the greatest lures of all time. There are too many lures to ever consider for this. So, let’s limit the debate to within my boat.

Smallmouth Suspense

  Ladson, SC (August 15, 2023) – A lone ship in the emptiness of outer space, your boat seems lost, disoriented, far from shore.
