June just busts out all over for bass
June 2010
I probably like to fish for bass in June about as much as I do at any time of the year. I do fish to my strength, and it’s a great month to fish a crankbait, but I really think that June is, overall, the best month to fish for bass in North Carolina.
April bass: you can ‘bank’ on them
April 2010
Because I love to catch bass in deep water, away from the bank, April is a tough month for me. It’s simple: almost all the fish will be shallow this month, no matter where you fish in North Carolina. And a lot of them will be spawning, which makes it even tougher on me.
Pay attention to current, oxygen
August 2009
If there are two factors that make bass fishing in August great or horrible, it’s current and oxygen — or not having them.
For July bass, find current, cover

For a guy who likes to fish off the bank, July is the month that separates the men from the boys.
Covering the water will produce in April
April 2009
April isn’t one of my favorite months, even though a lot of bass fishermen love it. Fish are fairly easy to catch, because they’re in shallow water and are actually hungry.
Catch one and soon, your limit’s done
March 2009
There’s a lot to like about March if you’re a bass fisherman. I think it’s a great month to fish in North Carolina. The water is starting to warm up a little bit, the fish are starting to get a little more active, and the bass are probably the biggest they’re gonna be all year, because they’re feeding up for the spawn.
February time to fish jerkbait slow
February 2009
When people ask me where I like to fish in February, I like to tell them “In front of the fireplace.”
Lunker heaven has a Texas address
January 2009
Between two deer-hunting trips to Canada this past November, I fished the best lake I’ve ever been on.
