The pre-spawn is one of the best times of the entire year to catch big bass — but only if you understand where they’re coming from, where they’re going, and how they travel between the two. This video breaks down the pre-spawn migration routes bass use as they leave their deep wintering holes and begin moving toward their eventual spawning flats. Fish the right technique in the right section of the migration route, and you’ll catch a pile of bass this pre-spawn.

From Clear Lake to Lake Fork, these legendary bass fisheries belong on every angler’s bucket list. https://www.bassresource.com/fishing/bucket-list-lakes.html

About 15 years ago (maybe 20?), well before we heard of the Ned Rig, my buddy and I were just SLAYING the fish on Kalin's grubs. I mean every other cast if not every cast. It was nuts. Well, those grubs were losing their tails after so many fish, and pretty soon we had dead soldiers all over the floor of the boat. Grub bodies with missing tails. We began to run low on grubs, so I thought "What the heck" and tried fishing just a grub body on a small jighead. The fish loved it! My buddy started doing it, and we caught a ton of fish on them. We called them "nubbins". LOL We fished that rig for several years. It was our "secret" bait. We thought we came up with something original.... and then the Ned Rig hit the headlines. We were like, "Heeyyyyy! That's the nubbin rig!" Point is, you don't need a Z-Man plastic to catch fish on it, despite what the prostaffers and marketing would like you to think. Z-Man didn't invent the Ned Rig. Mid-westeners were using 4" worms and other small plastics LONG before Z-Man came along. There are plenty of other brands with their own Ned Rig style baits now, and they all work (and they don't melt!). And as I found out, grubs and grub bodies work fantastic. So don't lock yourself into one brand. Expand your options and you might find something that works for you.

Me too! A happy mistake. I don't think anyone predicted a Seahawks/Patriots Superbowl matchup at the beginning of the year.

Oh I know! I blew that one. LOL!

This is a good watch:

Wow, that's not a good situation. I was concerned about that too, but the local law enforcement agencies reported ZERO incidents and arrests during the event. Kinda amazing when you think about it - that many people packed together....many drinking too. But everyone remained civil. It was just one big party. I guess that destroys the whole narrative that West Coast cities are lawless and full of domestic terrorists. LOL! Bring on the World Cup!

Thanks, guys — I really appreciate that. I put a lot of effort into packing my videos with as many unique, actionable tips as I can. I may not get the same views as channels that repeat the same talking points over and over, but the nuggets in these videos are pure gold for the folks who stick around and watch them. Hopefully they give you an edge in your next tournament — or at least help you put a few more fish in the boat on a fun weekend out there.

My friend… there really aren’t words big enough for a loss like that, but please know how deeply sorry we are. Thirty-six years beside someone like that is a rare and beautiful gift. The way you describe her—up before dawn, running six miles, pouring herself into her kids, her community, wounded veterans, anyone who needed a hand—that’s a life lived with purpose. A life of giving. A life that mattered. She didn’t just share love… she multiplied it everywhere she went. It’s no surprise that losing someone like that leaves a space that can’t be filled. “I am OK but I’ll never be alright” — that’s such an honest way to put it. Grief doesn’t follow a straight line, and those quiet moments can hit the hardest. The eddies of sorrow are real. But so is the legacy she left behind — in your four children, in the lives she touched, and in the man you became because she believed in you. You don’t have to project strength here. This place isn’t just about fishing stories — it’s about the people behind them. You’ve been part of this community for years, and we care about you. Truly. When fishing feels heavy, when the water doesn’t bring the peace it once did, that’s okay. Healing doesn’t work on a schedule. One day at a time is enough. And those words — “Tomorrow Is Never Promised” — hit home. Thank you for sharing that reminder. It’s powerful. We all need to hear it. Love out loud. Say the words. Don’t wait. Your angel’s life was extraordinary. The love you shared was extraordinary. And that doesn’t end — it changes shape, but it doesn’t end. We’re here for you, brother. Always.

The pre-spawn bite is starting to fire up, and a lot of anglers rig all the right lures… on the wrong rods. That’s why so many people get worn out, lose fish, or never get the full action out of their baits. This video walks you through the exact rod, reel, and line setups for the most productive pre-spawn lures.

They don't have the crowd numbers yet, but over 1 million seems legit.

Man! I REALLY wanted to go to the victory parade, but I just found out they're expecting more than 1 million fans there! Yikes! They're expecting total gridlock. I mean, it's a tribute to the immense loyal Seahawk fanbase known as the "The 12's". It will be an epic event. But with that kind of traffic, I'll watch the live coverage from home.

When you're buying extra dividers, ensure you get the dividers specific to the size of your box (e.g. 3700 vs 3600). They are NOT the same, and they are NOT interchangeable!

There is no AI use on these forums like you mention. There's not even an administrator option to use. And I don't want one.

Oh c'mon guys, I didn't mean it to sound like that! LOL

Hey I just got a text from our New England member and former moderator @Low_Budget_Hooker congratulating the 'Hawks. Class act as always!

It's a party in Seattle! Tens of thousands of people in the streets dancing and smiling, bands playing, and random fireworks. It's a giant party, and it's going to be a late night! So...print this off if need it:

It's like the 4th of July - fireworks going off everywhere, including this:

Seahawks wire-to-wire! An overwhelming defensive dominance and stellar play by Sam Darnold and K9! And the halftime included special appearances by Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, a real wedding, and one of the most elaborate halftime sets ever. What a party! Oh, and God Bless America was sung by Brandi Carlile, who is from my neighborhood. Well done! And to win it in Levi Stadium... 😁

The grub has long-been an underrated lure. I've used it - and the tube - heavily every year for decades.

Today we ride!
