My region’s river systems provide some of the best and most exciting smallmouth fishing early and late in the year. This year (2024), will remain to be seen, as we are in a major drought right now. As most northern rivers are home to a combination of resident and non-resident populations of smallmouths, their

In my region, the spring season is short and condensed, lasting from ice-out through spawn. Its duration varies each year, as it relates to both. Ice melt varies annually, depending on climate. In this region, between the second to fourth weeks of April is the average. In the most extreme winters, ice-out sometimes doesn’t

Successful fishing is all about right time, right place. The right time and place for my boat to catch the biggest fish of the year is in May, and later in September and October. The spring spawn, September feeding, and October wintering periods create vulnerabilities for smallmouth, where the biggest fish are most apt

Cold weather and water temperatures affect anglers more mentally than physically. Cold affects smallmouths too, but not as drastically as it does to humans. Isn’t it funny how smallmouths are heartier than people? As smallmouths are cold blooded, they elect to lay low, eat less, and won’t be as aggressive as they otherwise could

From shallow sloughs and oxbows winding off of major river systems, to the slop-choked bays and flood plains of lowland flowages, and the ditches and small creeks inletting into drainage lakes, backwaters offer unreachable populations of big largemouths that are least pursued. Reaching some of these places can be a hassle for some, but

Most years, I strive to be the first angler on the water targeting smallmouths at ice out. Doing this well before everyone else has become a unique fishing experience. While catching smallmouths from 39 to 42-degree water temperature is not an easy task across every Northwoods lake, results can be achieved if you are

In the past, some fishing partners have given me grief for fishing too slow and methodical. There is a reason for this madness, which has been developed over several years of patterning big bass and understanding their locations as it relates to season, feeding times, and behavior on many of the specific waters I

I don’t live with any regrets, but I do wish I had a different perspective and opinion of some fishing related concepts and products long before I was convinced on them. As an angler who is set in his own ways, systems, and processes, it usually requires a lot of convincing, observation, and successful

One of life’s greatest blessings is fishing with children, and introducing a youngster to the sport. There’s nothing quite like happiness and smiles, the eagerness to learn and soak up the knowledge, and the entertainment a child can provide for the boat. While my wife Amanda and I are not quite there yet ourselves

We should all know what happens when trout get stocked in Western American lakes – its bass fishery grows into huge world-record sizes as a result of feeding on its stocked trout. Largemouths of that caliber simply don’t exist in these waters, as we are in too cold of a latitude to grow such
