What has changed over the past 3-4 years? Any game changers in gear, baits, or techniques?
Bill Dance’s dancing eel still outfishes just about everything else, that’s about it.
-
Rebel Crawfish Cranks
I use the smallest ones, and remove the front hook for trout fishing. Brown Trout can’t resist! Same with the frog.

What do you consider your most productive old time lure?
Bill Dance’s dancing eel.

Mepps spinners
#2 mepps used to be the only lure I would ever use! These days I only use them a fraction of the time. Powergrubs and shad raps are my go to baits now.

Do You Believe in Bite Windows?
If I’m on the water, the bite window is ALWAYS open!
-
Favorite snacks while fishing?
Teriyaki meat sticks, ritz bitz cheese crackers, cheese sticks, little debbie brownies. Occasionally a PB&J sandwich.
-
Trolling for bass?
I almost never troll, and when I do, it’s never for bass. Yet, bass account for at least 3/4 of the fish I end up catching.

How Long (time wise) Is Your Last Cast......????
Declaring my last cast is known as “2 to 3 hour warning”

How many lures catch 80% of your bass?
1 lure catches about 90% of all the smallmouth bass I catch…3 inch power grub with beetlespin overhead spinner.
-
What's your bass fishing superpower?
Wading in rocky rivers. And also surviving the savage attacks on my leg hairs by schools of emerald shiners!
-
What lures do you intend to use more in 2025?
Pretty much any all tackle I’ve bought in the past 3 or 4 years. Haven’t used hardly any of it yet.
-
How technique specific are your rods
Not the least bit technique specific with any of my rods. Whatever techniques I use on a spinning rod, is used on all my spinning rods. Same with my baitcasting rods.

Berkley spinnerbaits
I do just fine with the cheapest no name spinnerbaits on the rack! But I couldn’t pass up on the bluegill colored spinnerbait that Berkley made. Didn’t fish much this year, but it did look cool in the water at least.
