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.
Get crankes about July bass
July 2008
A lot of bass fishermen begin to slow down when July approaches, figuring there may be better places to be than on the lake during the hottest months of the summer.
June begins crankbait season
June 2008
During January when I first get my boat and tackle ready for the tournament season, I’m already counting the minutes until June arrives.
The best month to catch bass
May 2008
If there’s a month on the calendar that every bass fisherman should have circled, it’s May.
Why? Largemouths are everywhere.
Bass fishing is pedal-to-metal
April 2008
I like to call April the “plastic month.” It’s also the month when you really have to put the pedal to the metal.
What does that mean? Well, April actually is a tough month for me because I’m happier when fish are in deeper water, and during April, they’re as shallow as they’ll be all year.
I’d love to focus on something else — maybe how to rig your new boat or how to get your tackle ready for the season — but I just can’t. That’s because bass fishing in North Carolina is just too good in March. It’s absolutely the best month of the year if you’re looking to catch the biggest bass of your life.
