Big January Flathead

This big flathead cat ate a down-lined trout in over 60 feet. You can see him blow a huge air bubble as he gets close to the boat.

Locating Schools with Sonar

This short video was shot 02/03/10, fishing is beyond tough. Local Tournament winning weights are the lowest of the winter season. Most of the spots are extremely deep and suspended in open water following shad making them hard to find, but even harder to catch.

Sonar Sight-Fishing with Drop Shot

This video was also shot 02/03/10. Matt w/ Pro Angler Radio and I were showing what the drop shot looks like on the sonar when this spot showed up under our bait just off the bottom in 35ft of water. Not a large fish but keeper size fish are at a premium in late winter when fishing is tough.

 Pre-Spawn Fish-Head Spin

This video was shot 04/15/10. The fish was caught around 1:00PM, water temp was 70 and lake level +5ft over pool. My partner Bill Payne and I were doing a shoot w/ Matt Driver of Pro Angler Radio. We were in the back 1/4 of a major creek arm and as we were idling in we started marking tons of bait/fish suspended 10-15ft just up on the break-line of the 25ft deep creek channel. Even in the middle of spring on spotted bass lakes when you see this, get the fish head out! Normal springtime rules do not apply when spotted bass fishing, contrary to popular opinion spots are often very late spawners and as the water warms they have one thing on their mind..... Shad.

1/2 Fish Head Spin w/ Big Bite Jerk Shad, 12-15lb Fluro and I like to throw the Fish Head Spin on a glass or composite rod . Something like a 7ft Heavy Cranking Rod. Lots of "bumps" before hook-up so I like a rod with more give. It's improved my hook up ratio. Check out St Croix's heavy glass series cranking rod, it's a great fit for this technique.
