Curious how high school state champions and a rookie elite angler conquer unpredictable weather and leverage cutting-edge technology like LiveScope to dominate the competition?
This Bass University Live episode dives deep into recent bass fishing tournament successes and the strategies behind them:
Elite Series Rookie's Journey & Perspective: Andrew Loberg, a rookie elite angler, discusses his incredible second-place finish at Lake Tenkiller and his transition from West Coast fishing tactics (like on the California Delta) to the diverse East Coast tournament scene, now based in Lake Guntersville. Loberg offers his strong opinions on forward-facing sonar and its role as a "tool" that enhances the sport of bass fishing and brings in new anglers. He also explains his strategy of "running new water" based on changing water levels, reminiscent of tidal fishing.
High School Bass Fishing State Championship Victory: Hear directly from two-time state champions Jake Gluszek and Max Hughen about their win on Manasqua Reservoir, battling crazy weather including lightning and high winds. Discover their top three confidence baits for LiveScope fishing , including Robo Worms, Bass Pro Shops Rolling Shad, and Beast Coast Jigs, and how they adapted their game plan on a challenging day. They share insights on using forward-facing sonar to target fish on specific structures like deep seams and grass points. The team is now headed to the National Championship at Clark Hill.
Pro Angler Wins and Strategies: Learn about Keith Poche's recent MLF James River win using his "Off the Grid backwater bass fishing strategies", a topic he's covering in this week's Bass University seminar.
