    Skip Cast better than 90% of anglers: 3 fixes for backlashes + accuracy

    Bass Fishing Tips: Skip casting is the cast that separates anglers who “can” from anglers who just hope. In this episode, Tom breaks down a simple 3-fix system to skip a baitcaster clean—without blowing up your reel—and hit tight openings under docks and cover with confidence. No fluff, no magic settings: you’ll learn what actually matters first, then how to fine-tune your reel once the cast is right. What you’ll learn: • How to skip a baitcaster without backlash by practicing on smooth concrete or a gym floor • The sidearm “keep it low” casting motion that stops blowups (and why chopping down causes them) • A daily practice plan (15–20 casts) that builds muscle memory fast • The accuracy hack: where to look and how to visualize the landing spot under a dock • Spool tension “Goldilocks” setup using a controlled drop test • Brake settings for skipping (why turning it up helps when you clip water/chop) • Bonus: lure shape + weight rules—flat profiles skip best; when heavier beats lighter in chop Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PC8fGcauoKw  Follow Catch More Bass — new episodes every Monday at 2 PM CT.

    Keith Carson: Advanced sight fishing for beds, cruisers & bream beds

    Bass Fishing Tips: Most “sight fishing” content is just how to bed fish for bass. Keith Carson’s take is bigger: if you can see a bass—on a bed, cruising, or relating to bluegill beds—there’s a real chance it’s catchable if you know what to do next. We get specific on the details that decide whether you catch ’em or spook ’em: How Keith judges catchable vs. time-waster fish in seconds (based on behavior) The “turn around and bomb it” move after you spook one—and why it still works Cruiser mechanics: get small, stop the boat, one-shot rules, and why “kill it” triggers bites Bed fishing that isn’t the usual rehash: natural colors to catch them faster and reading the fish instead of watching your bait Bluegill beds as a “dinner bell”: where bass set up, how to fish the sides, and how feeding windows change everything If you’ve searched how to sight fish for bass, how to bed fish for bass, how to catch spawning bass, or where to find spawning bass, this is the episode that connects it all into one repeatable system.

    Berkley’s “#1 Fluoro” Claim—Legit? My Real World GinClear Test

    Berkley is swinging at the top of the fluorocarbon market with GinClear—and that’s a big claim. In this episode I explain why I normally hate testing new fishing line (the downside is huge), then walk through what I saw after months of fishing Berkley GinClear fluorocarbon around docks, timber, and heavy cover. We break down the two “lanes” most fluorocarbon lives in—easy casting/low memory vs abrasion resistance/toughness—and where GinClear actually lands on that spectrum. I also share why the handling stood out enough that I started upsizing pound test for more control and fewer breakoffs, plus when I’d still reach for a true “tank” line in extreme abrasion situations. If you’re wondering whether GinClear is a real upgrade or just a new label, this is the honest scorecard and decision process I use.

    Mark Daniels Jr: Trap vs Square Bill in Spring — Triggers that work

    Bass Fishing Tips: Spring crankbait fishing shouldn’t feel random. MDJ breaks down the real separator—how to pick the right shallow crank for the situation and the trigger moves that turn followers into committed bites. If you’re getting “looks” but not getting crushed, this episode is the fix. What you’ll learn: • When a lipless (trap) beats a squarebill in spring—and when you should switch • The cadence rules that trigger bites (why “just reeling it in” kills your results) • How grass changes everything: keeping the bait clean and forcing reaction bites • How MDJ uses sound (one-knocker vs silent) to match pressure and conditions • Spring color rules that actually matter (craw vs shad, plus confidence options) • The “4WD” squarebill concept for crawling through wood without hanging up • Treble hook philosophy for better hookups when fish swipe or short-strike • A simple framework to catch more shallow bass all spring without overthinking Guest: Mark Daniels Jr — MLF Bass Pro Tour pro; 2018 Bassmaster Elite Series winner; known for shallow power fishing and crankbait skills, @markdanielsjr on all social media   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.

    How To Rig Fuzzy Dice & Coike — Better rigging to catch short strikes

    Bass Fishing Tips: Fuzzy Dice, Coike, dice baits, urchins — whatever you call them, they’re getting followed hard… and missed even harder. In this episode, I break down the exact rigging setup I’m using to stop the guessing: the clean internal-weight rig that locks the hook and weight into the bait (so you don’t sling weights or tear up expensive elastomer baits), plus a simple stinger add-on that fixes short strikes without killing the action. We’ll cover why I’m out on dangling/external-weight styles for how these baits are being fished right now, the standard nail-weight “Neko-style” rig (and where it fails), the better “lock-in” weight option, and when to go weedless vs open hooks around timber, docks, and open water. If you’re seeing followers on LiveScope/FFS and not converting, this is the rigging blueprint.

    Tom Monsoor Part 2: Only 3 Swim Jig Colors & Trailers You Need (Plus 2 Retrieves)

    Bass Fishing Tips: Swim jigs should work almost anywhere—but if they aren’t, most anglers are missing a simple decision system. In Part 2, Tom Monsoor (arguably the best swim jig fisherman of all time) lays out the shortcut he’s refined over decades: three top colors, three trailer styles, and two retrieves—plus the rules that tell you which one to pick so you’re not changing everything every ten casts. We cover: The “core” swim jig colors Tom leans on and what each one is really for The trailer styles that cover the widest range of bites (and what they signal to the fish) The two retrieves that do most of the work—and when to switch lanes How to make faster, cleaner decisions so the swim jig becomes an “automatic” bait instead of a guessing game If you missed it, part 1 covered the best swim jig and how to make them run correct and hook more fish/get more bites.   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 March Bass Fishing—What Actually Works

    Bass Fishing Tips: March bass fishing is obvious water and heavy pressure: everybody’s in the backs of pockets and spawning creeks, and the fish have seen the same baits all day. This episode breaks down my Top 5 March bass fishing baits (Texas/southern spawn timing) and—more importantly—the one key retrieve for each so you can turn “around fish” into reaction bites in crowded, pressured spring water. We cover a squarebill crankbait bite that can produce your biggest fish early, a bladed jig worked like a jig and slow-rolled near bottom for territorial spawners, the swim jig finesse play for shallow grass, a swimming worm that lets you keep power-fishing while everyone else dead-sticks, and a Texas rig for picking apart the exact cover fish spawn on. Then we finish with the fallback when nothing else works: a slow, patient wacky/weightless approach that still gets bit in peak pressure.

    Tom Monsoor: Why Your Swim Jig Isn’t Working (Built Right = More Bites)

    Bass Fishing Tips: Swim jig fishing for bass is are  one of the most reliable ways to get bit, especially around grass and shallow cover. But if your swim jig doesn’t run true / track straight, you’ll get fewer bites—and if the hook setup is wrong, you’ll miss or lose fish that crush it. In this episode, Tom Monsoor (swim jig pioneer and one of the most respected swim jig minds in the sport) breaks down the two biggest “quiet killers” that make swim jigs inconsistent: Why a swim jig doesn’t run perfectly true (and what makes it list/lean or “hunt”) How the hook choice and hook details can cost bites and cost fish at the boat The build and setup details that separate a swim jig that “kind of works” from one that’s dialed How to think about swim jig balance so it tracks clean and stays effective in real cover Part 2 (next episode) goes deep on the system: the only 3 colors, 3 trailer styles, and 2 retrieves you need—plus the rules for choosing the right one fast.
