When exploring fishing deep this time of year remember that “deep” is relative to water clarity. The clearer the water the deeper there is potential of catch bass deeper. Then comes the question….. what is clear? What is stained? Again it’s all relative. Our electronics will usually tell us very clearly where the limit is. Being willing to idle and just watch will give us a story of where food and habitat is. In some fisheries 10 ft is deep. In other fisheries 20ft is still shallow. It’s all based on water clarity.

Here’s the fall fishing academy strategy. Pass it along!

I have fished for 4 days in a row. Feels like I’m in a tournament without the associated pressure….

Fall fishing academy (starts Monday October 21)
Week 1 - Fall jig Fishing Randy Blauket
Week 2 - Jose Cinco Fishing Reel Maintenance workshop
Week 3 - Lake Breakdown Round Table

Anyone recognize this little guy?
I found it on a boat dock with no hooks on it. I’ve been debating on whether to freshen up the paint and use it or leave as is if there’s any nostalgic value.

Old timers are telling me about using “Silver Buddies” in deep water. Anyone got any experience?

Any one else ever caught a bass with out hooking it?! (This 14 incher may not seem impressive, but it rounded out our 5 fish limit, which had us in the top 5 after day 1 out of 262 boats in a college tournament this past weekend on lake Dardanelle) Hard to beat getting lucky sometimes!

This is what’s coming up….

Question: in the wading video you said cast behind the cover... Is that for the up steam side approach or the down stream side approach?
