Learn about the importance of understanding seasonal patterns like the herring spawn and shad spawn. Discover why bigger minnow baits, including a 7-inch size, were effective in catching fish that hadn't seen that presentation. Hear how a lipless crankbait became a key player, especially for fishing points with rock and grass. Get the details on the Free Rig setup, including bait, specific hook and weight configurations, and how it was used to catch big fish in shallow water.
Explore techniques like shaking a minnow in shallow water and changing angles on points to get more bites. Plus, hear insights on the role of forward facing sonar and live scope fishing in modern bass fishing tournaments.
