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
July 2009
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.
Have a merry ol’ time with bass
December 2008
A lot of fishermen never think of taking their boat out in December. They’re deer hunting or thinking about Christmas, and they don’t realize how good the fishing can really be.
Deer season leaves lakes open
November 2008
One of the nice things about fishing in November — besides the fact the fish will bite — is the lakes aren’t crowded. It’s deer season, and a lot of the people who fish nine or 10 months out of the year will be in the woods instead of at the lakes, leaving that much more water for you to explore.
October can be crankbait feast
October 2008
Because I love to fish crankbaits, October is a month that I look forward to long before it gets here.
September is a moving month
September 2008
There’s one good thing about September. Only the first part of it is as bad as August. That’s the way a lot of bass fisherman feel, and I’m one of them.
Oxygen is key for August bass
August 2008
I’m not going to make any bones about it — August is a tough month to fish for bass in North Carolina.
