Bass Fishing Tips: February bass will fool you. If your bite dies right after a warm-up, you didn’t lose the fish—you missed the February Flip. In this episode, Tom Redington breaks down the 5 best baits for February bass fishing and, more importantly, where to fish them and how to adjust as bass shift from winter positioning into early prespawn movement.

You’ll get the February playbook: flipping jig around staging cover, lipless cranks for covering water in the backs, spinnerbaits for thumping through wind and stain, bladed jigs for grass and cover, and shallow cranks when targets are scarce. Tom also explains the “one month before your spawn” rule so the pattern translates beyond Texas.

Then comes the wildcard: when the February Flip hits, moving baits can fizzle overnight and it turns into a soft-plastic deal (stick baits, weightless/wacky, neko, Texas rigs) where deadsticking and slower falls get the bites again.

LiveScope / forward-facing sonar (FFS), shallow power fishing, and spring bass fishing aren’t two separate worlds anymore. In this episode, Nick LeBrun explains how he uses LiveScope as a decision tool and a feedback loop—even while he’s power fishing—to figure out what’s happening faster and stop guessing from late winter through the spawn.

Nick gets specific on the stuff that actually moves the needle: how he watches for followers on moving baits to diagnose “color vs retrieve,” why better fish often relate to something (not just roaming under bait), and a couple of small “cheat code” adjustments that can turn follows into bites—like panning away once you’ve triggered a fish, or letting a minnow fall all the way to the bottom as a last-ditch closer.

We also dig into seasonal decision-making from winter to spawn (including Nick’s contrarian “calendar vs water temp” perspective), plus practical tournament/process advice on efficiency—when to move, how to log boat-position notes, and how to avoid burning fish in practice.

Cold fronts don’t “kill” the bite — they expose the same default mistakes most anglers make. In this episode, I break down what actually changes after a front and give you 3 fixes you can run anywhere: how resident fish make micro-moves (tighter to cover and often suspending), how roaming fish follow the forage (so you have to re-find the bait), and when the right answer is to slow down vs speed up to trigger bites.

We also clear up the timing that confuses anglers: the front itself and the day after can fish great — the real struggle often shows up on the second day when it goes slick, sunny, and calm. Finish strong with the bonus odds-stacker: when to lean on shade or stain/mud so you’re putting casts in front of predictable fish instead of fishing “dead water.”

Bass fishing tips: LiveScope (forward-facing sonar) used to feel like easy mode—find fish, drop the “right” bait, get bit. Now? You can watch bass track, stall, and fade off without ever committing. In this episode, Pake South lays out the new rules for getting bites when fish are educated, pressured, and seeing the same handful of presentations every day.

We start with a practical jerkbait-on-FFS breakdown (how to actually convert followers), then zoom out to the bigger advantage: treating LiveScope like real fishing again—rotating lure categories based on what the fish are doing on the screen. The goal is simple: stop guessing, stop forcing yesterday’s “meta,” and build a scope arsenal that catches the fish you’ve been writing off as uncatchable.

In this episode:

• Why LiveScope feels harder now (and what actually changed)

• Converting followers into biters: triggers, timing, and commitment cues

• The “bait rotation” approach: when each lure category wins on FFS

• How to adjust when fish get spooky, slow, or act “weird” on screen

• Old-school baits that still shine with forward-facing sonar

Bass Fishing Tips: Bank fishing can feel like you’re doing everything right—making tons of casts—and still getting nothing. Most of the time it’s not “no fish.” It’s one of three controllable mistakes.

In this episode, I break down 3 fast fixes that apply to ponds, small lakes, and anywhere you’re stuck on shore:

1. Targets + angles: Stop bombing casts into the middle and start fishing edges, shade lines, and specific targets—with the angles that keep your bait in the strike zone longer.

2. Pick the bank that reloads: How to use wind, shade, and “something different” to stop wasting time on dead water.

3. A simple two-speed plan: Use a search bait to get your first clue, then switch to finesse and slow down the right way to turn one bite into multiple bites.

Bonus tip at the end: the stealth/pressure rule most bank anglers ignore—why you usually only get one good cast, and how to stop spooking fish before you even start.

If your ChatterBait “should” be working but isn’t, it’s usually not the bait — it’s the way it’s being fished. In this episode, pro angler Bryan Thrift breaks down a simple 3-part system to stop guessing and start getting consistent bites.

We cover:

• The 3 fixes that actually move the needle: retrieve/cadence, trailer type, and color selection

• Bryan’s “keep it simple” setup: the only 5 ChatterBait colors he leans on

• His 3 trailer categories (and what each one is for)

• How Bryan changes cadence to turn “pushes/bumps” into commits

• Clear-water reality check: when a ChatterBait still gets bit

• A hot take most anglers won’t agree with: trailer hooks

If you want ChatterBait fishing to feel repeatable instead of random, this is the blueprint.

Bass Fishing Tips: Cold water bass fishing is feast or famine — you’re either around the right fish or you’re blanking. In this episode, I break down how to make lipless crankbaits (rattle baits) a reliable winter-to-prespawn tool for both finding bass and triggering bites when other baits fall flat.

We cover where to start (staging areas, flats, points, channel swings), how warming trends vs cold fronts change positioning, and the retrieves that consistently get bites — including my go-to yo-yo approach that most anglers don’t fish enough. I also get into why lipless cranks are one of the few baits where size, color, and sound can make a huge difference, plus the common mistakes that keep guys from getting bit.

If you’re building a simple, confidence-based tackle plan, this one belongs in your rotation.

Spinnerbait Bass Fishing Tips: Bass are more pressured than ever, and everyone’s throwing the same handful of baits. In this deep-dive, Bassmaster Classic champ Edwin Evers breaks down why you’re not getting bit on a spinnerbait—and the exact “new rules” that make it dominate again for bigger bites instead of dink-grinding on finesse.

What you’ll learn: • How Edwin adjusts for pressure: when to speed up, downsize, and go more subtle instead of slowing down • Blade selection made simple: when double willow vs mixed blades gets more commits • The “different look” advantage: how to clean up behind the chatterbait crowd down the bank • Weight choices from shallow muddy water to heavier, deeper/offshore applications (including 1-oz style) • Color and profile shortcuts (including his confidence shad/white-style options) • Trailer/trailer-hook decisions: when they help, when they hurt hookups and landing • Retrieve cadence: burn, steady, slow-roll, and when to change speed mid-cast to trigger the bite
