Dam fishing
I usually try and look for something that the bass can hide behind around a dam that is blocking the current. Usually a rock pile, but every once in a while there will be a log jam piled up. Then all I have to do is find the bass.

RIP George Michael
I remember when my wife and I had our engagement pictures taken that WHAM was playing in the background. RIP George.

Change bait or location.
I usually will change baits and continue fishing in a spot where I have caught bass before. If they still won't bite I will move on to a new location.

What do you do in the off-season?
In between cleaning reels, sorting through tackle, and online shopping, I constantly check the weather to see when the lakes are going to thaw.

Fall Bite & Catfish
This year I have caught catfish on crankbaits, jigs, and t-rigged plastics. Growing up I always heard that cat won't hit artificial baits, but now I know better.

Best bang for buck spinning reel
I have 3 Pflueger Presidents. I wouldn't have them if they weren't good.

How much water do you cover?
I cover as much water as needed until I find the bass. I will spend more time at a location that has a history of producing fish, but if they aren't biting I move on. Once I find the bass I'll stay at that spot until I stop catching them.

Best paddletail swimbaits
I have a bunch of the old Mr. Twister sassy shads. They work great this time of year.

Crankbait Rod
For deep cranking, and larger crankbaits, I use a 7'0" MH rod. For shallow running crankbaits, and smaller crankbaits in general, I like a 6'6" M rod.

Do you secure your cranks with snap clips? What to do with the split rings?
I leave the split ring on. This time of year I use a duo lock snap, but in warmer weather I tie directly to the split ring.
