    Drew Gill: Why You’re Not Catching Bass on LiveScope—What Changed in 2026

    Seeing fish on LiveScope is not the edge anymore. Drew Gill breaks down why so many anglers can see bass on the screen but still struggle to make them bite — and what the best scopers are doing differently now. Drew walks through his first nine pro events of the season, including two wins, and pulls out the real lessons from each one: how he found the right fish, when Scope helped, when shallow fishing won, what he missed, and why the modern forward-facing sonar game keeps changing. What you’ll learn: • Why LiveScope success is less about settings now and more about fish selection • How Drew identifies which fish are bass, which are active, and which are worth chasing • Why suspended fish are getting harder to catch on pressured lakes • When to use Scope around the bank, bed fish, fry guarders, and shallow cover • What changed at Guntersville, Harris Chain, Hartwell, Santee, Whitney/Waco, Wheeler, O.H. Ivie/Brownwood, Kentucky Lake, and REDCREST • How Alabama rigs, minnows, Neko rigs, drop shots, ChatterBaits, crankbaits, and fuzzy baits fit into Drew’s system • Drew’s take on Coike-style fuzzy baits, dice baits, and whether they have staying power • Why shallow fishing is still alive — and when not using Scope can be the better call Guest: Drew Gill — two-time pro winner already this season; widely regarded as one of the best LiveScope anglers in bass fishing; elite at breaking down bass behavior, bait response, and forward-facing sonar decision-making.   Watch the full video podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLJHIrTVplvfzK7I8FEog0BXmrt83Yc3T  Save 10% on MillerTech lithium batteries and all other products: https://tinyurl.com/MillerTech10off  Follow Catch More Bass—new episodes every Monday at 2 PM CT.

    Pake South: Dice/Coike Secrets from a Master (Make LiveScope Followers Eat)

    Dice baits, Coike-style baits, fuzzy baits, urchins—whatever you call them, they’re the hottest bait category in bass fishing right now. Pake South may be fishing them better than anyone, and after two record-book Bassmaster Open wins, he’s breaking down the exact details that make fish follow, commit, and fully eat. This is a deep dive into how Pake fishes dice/urchin-style baits with LiveScope, why the right sink rate and profile matter, and how the new Berkley MaxScent Moeba was designed to solve the follow-and-nip problem. What you’ll learn: • Why dice/Coike-style baits get more bites than minnows or jerkbaits in certain LiveScope situations • How Pake works them like a jerkbait: twitch, pause, adjust to the fish’s mood • The ideal sink rate, tentacle stiffness, profile, and fall that make an urchin bait work • When to throw the big 4.5-inch style vs. downsizing for smallmouth and spotted bass • The setup: 7’3” medium-heavy extra-fast rod, 20-pound fluorocarbon, baitcaster, and hard hooksets • Why first-cast accuracy at 40–60 feet matters more than bombing casts way out • How MaxScent helps turn followers and nippers into fish that actually commit • When dice baits don’t work, and how to tell fast before wasting your day Guest: Pake South — Bassmaster Elite Series pro; 2026 Bassmaster Open winner at Rayburn and Eufaula; record-book three-day weights; one of the hottest young LiveScope anglers in bass fishing.   Watch the full video podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLJHIrTVplvfzK7I8FEog0BXmrt83Yc3T  Save 10% on MillerTech lithium batteries and all other products: https://tinyurl.com/MillerTech10off  Follow Catch More Bass—new episodes every Monday at 2 PM CT.

    Dylan Nutt: Why You’re Not Getting Bit on a Jighead Minnow

    The jighead minnow is still the number one LiveScope bait, but it is a lot less forgiving than it was two years ago. Bassmaster Classic champion Dylan Nutt explains why fish are more conditioned than ever, which details matter most now, and how top pros still get those fish to commit. This episode starts with the jighead minnow, then widens out into the Berkley Lab Series minnow Dylan used in his Classic win and how he breaks down lakes in the LiveScope era. If you’re getting follows but not bites, this is the kind of detail-heavy conversation that can actually help. What you’ll learn: • Why Dylan still throws a jighead minnow about 80% of the time, even with Neko rigs, Dice baits, and other newer scope options • When the jighead minnow shines most, especially from fall through prespawn around suspended fish and even some bottom-oriented fish • Dylan’s full jighead minnow setup: 6'10" medium-light spinning rod, 6.8:1 reel, 8 lb Berkley X5 braid, and 10–15 lb fluorocarbon leader • The three biggest variables when fish follow but won’t eat: bait size, jighead weight, and retrieve • Why matching the hatch matters so much with a jighead minnow, including why Dylan used a bigger 6.5-inch minnow in the Classic • The biggest jighead minnow mistake Dylan sees: letting the bait fall below the fish instead of keeping it above them • What made the Berkley Lab Series minnow different, including rolling action, scent trail, and fish that would come back and eat it twice • How Dylan breaks down new lakes with LiveScope by choosing an area, graphing it thoroughly, and using fish position, cover, and bait to build a pattern faster Guest: Dylan Nutt — Bassmaster Classic champion; MLF Pro Circuit angler; University of North Alabama standout; one of the top young anglers in the LiveScope era.   Watch the full video podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLJHIrTVplvfzK7I8FEog0BXmrt83Yc3T  Save 10% on MillerTech lithium batteries and all other products: https://tinyurl.com/MillerTech10off  Follow Catch More Bass—new episodes every Monday at 2 PM CT.

    5 Best Baits for May Bass Fishing — What actually works shallow to deep

    May bass fishing is wide open—and that’s exactly why so many anglers get it wrong. Bass can be shallow, deep, spawning, postspawn, chasing shad, or already sliding into early summer spots, sometimes all in the same day. In this episode, I break down the 5 best baits for May bass fishing and when each one shines so you can stop guessing and start fishing what the lake is giving you. We cover topwater for low-light shad spawn and shallow feeders, a Texas-rig ribbon tail worm for shallow cover or deeper structure, a bladed jig around floating docks, a jig for the first big postspawn females moving deep, and deep-diving crankbaits to trigger aggressive offshore schools. I also finish with a bonus May tip: this is one of the best months of the year to fish your strengths, because there’s usually a window where your confidence bait can shine.

    Jordan Lee: top 5 baits for May-July Bass Fishing (Plus bonus frog hacks)

    May through July is when bass can be shallow, deep, and everywhere in between—and that’s exactly why so many anglers waste the day. In this episode, Jordan Lee breaks down the 5 baits he trusts most to narrow it down fast, from frogging shallow cover to fishing a big worm offshore, with the exact little tweaks that can turn a good pattern into a winning one. What you’ll learn: • How Jordan decides whether to stay shallow or slide offshore in May, June, and July • Why a popping frog gets the nod so often postspawn, and when he switches to a walking frog • The frog tweaks he uses, including Flashabou tails and the rattle trick that helped in a Toho win • Why a swim jig is such a strong follow-up bait around shad spawn, shade, and shoreline cover • How he fishes a Neko rig, including the 2 nail-weight styles and when each one matters • The Neko mistake he’ll never make again with hooks and weed guards • Why bigger worms take over from late May into July, and how big is too big • Why Jordan still refuses to overlook shallow fish in summer, even when everyone else is offshore Guest: Jordan Lee — two-time Bassmaster Classic champion and one of the most versatile pros in the game, with wins shallow, offshore, and under pressure.

    The Swim Jig Trailer Nobody Uses — Why This Big Worm Combo Gets More Bites

    This might be the best swim jig trailer nobody uses. In this episode, I break down why pairing a swim jig with a big Texas-rig worm gave me a different profile, better hookup power, and more quality bites around shallow spring cover. What you’ll learn: • Why a big worm trailer gives a swim jig a different look than the standard trailers most anglers throw • How this setup keeps the hookup power and weedlessness of a swim jig while fixing the missed-fish problem of a swimming worm • Why bigger profile baits can get more attention from better bass in spring grass, brush, and shallow cover • When this combo shines best for targeting bigger fish around spawning areas and territorial bass • When a more traditional swim jig trailer is still the better choice, especially around shad-focused fish • How I retrieve it through grass, over cover, and along subtle depth changes • The rod, reel, and line setup I like for fishing this bait effectively all day In the full breakdown, I also cover why this trailer choice seems to draw bigger bites, how I compare it to fishing a big worm on a Texas rig, and the exact situations where I keep going back to it when I want a different look without giving up control or hookup ratio.

    Tom Monsoor Part 3: You’re Picking the Wrong Swim Jig for the Job

    A swim jig can get a few bites almost anywhere. But if it doesn’t match the cover, depth, and how bass are positioned, you’re leaving too many fish behind. In Part 3, Tom Monsoor breaks down how to choose the right swim jig for the job so you can get more bites, fish cleaner through cover, and catch fish other anglers miss. What you’ll learn: • How Tom decides where to start with a swim jig on Florida lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and tidal water • How bass position on weed edges, outside grass lines, current runs, and shallow cover • When fish are set up high, suspended, or on bottom — and how that changes the jig you should throw • How current, tide, and changing water direction affect swim jig presentation • Why eelgrass, hydrilla, and other cover types call for different swim jig approaches • When to use lighter versus heavier weed guards and how that affects hookups • Why hook angle, hook sharpness, and small design details matter so much • How Tom thinks about making a swim jig work in clear water, grass, wood, and deeper structure Guest: Tom Monsoor — legendary swim jig innovator, tournament winner, and one of the best swim jig fishermen ever.
