    Masterclass on Bass Fishing the Summer to Fall Transition!

    Send us Fan Mail Most anglers idle right over the most consistent big-bass spots on the lake without ever knowing they're there. Full-time fishing guide Caleb Bell breaks down how to find springs — groundwater seeps that hold stable 55-65° water and giant bass year-round — and why they're the key to surviving the toughest transition of the year. In this episode, Caleb covers: - How to spot a spring using old Corps of Engineers maps and satellite imagery - What a spring actually looks like on your graph (the "crater" and vegetation donut) - Why springs hold giant stripers and largemouth all summer and winter - How the summer-to-fall transition really works (and why rushing it costs you fish) - Community holes, schooling fish, and why numbers matter more than big-bite grinding right now - Steep banks vs flats and where to focus if you're fishing from shore - His 6-bait arsenal for this transition: glidebait, Koiki, jig, buzzbait, fluke (with his skipping technique), blade baits, and mini A-rigs - The biggest mistake anglers make this time of year — and how to reframe a slow day into a scouting win 📌 Check out Serious Angler Network lifestyle and podcast apparel here: https://seriousanglernetwork.com/ 📌 Click here to start your FREE trial of Omnia Fishing Premium PRO: https://omnia.direct/SAPremiumPRO 📌 This episode is brought to you by our amazing partners: • If you're a fishing guide, check out the Bloodknot App here: https://www.bloodknotapp.com/ • Amped Outdoors Lithium Batteries (https://ampedoutdoors.com/) • RecLending (https://www.reclending.com/): Looking to buy a boat or RV?

    Forward Facing Will Not Kill Fishing, But This Can

    Send us Fan Mail Ty Manarola joins the Serious Angler Bass Fishing Podcast to break down his first career tournament win, a 62.5 pound smallmouth bass total caught over three grueling days on the Columbia River, complete with a full gear and bait breakdown and the six-foot-wave grind that came with it.

Expect practical smallmouth bass fishing tips, tournament strategy, gear talk, and a candid take on fishing industry drama and why choosing positivity matters for the sport's future. This is bass fishing storytelling and commentary in one episode: a hard-earned win and a hard truth about the state of the community. 📌 Check out Serious Angler Network lifestyle and podcast apparel here: https://seriousanglernetwork.com/ 📌 Click here to start your FREE trial of Omnia Fishing Premium PRO: https://omnia.direct/SAPremiumPRO 📌 This episode is brought to you by our amazing partners: • If you're a fishing guide, check out the Bloodknot App here: https://www.bloodknotapp.com/ • Amped Outdoors Lithium Batteries (https://ampedoutdoors.com/) • RecLending (https://www.reclending.com/): Looking to buy a boat or RV?

    Where Do Bass Go When the Water Level Drops?

    Send us Fan Mail The Serious Angler Bass Fishing Podcast sits down with West Coast Super 60 standout Joe Mariani to break down the toughest transition in bass fishing: the late-summer drawdown on Northern California reservoirs like Clear Lake, Berryessa, and Don Pedro. Joe explains why largemouth push shallow into dying grass while spotted bass and smallmouth abandon the bank entirely, why big square bills and topwater still fool giants in low, clear water, and how to locate suspended fall bass using forward-facing sonar on main-lake structure. The conversation also covers Joe's switch from Nitro to Bass Cat boats, tournament strategy for the no-practice BAM Super 60 series, and mental game lessons from grinding out top-10 finishes. A must-listen for bass anglers dealing with fall drawdown conditions, tournament anglers chasing forward-facing sonar techniques, and fans of West Coast bass fishing. 📌 Check out Serious Angler Network lifestyle and podcast apparel here: https://seriousanglernetwork.com/ 📌 Click here to start your FREE trial of Omnia Fishing Premium PRO: https://omnia.direct/SAPremiumPRO 📌 This episode is brought to you by our amazing partners: • If you're a fishing guide, check out the Bloodknot App here: https://www.bloodknotapp.com/ • Amped Outdoors Lithium Batteries (https://ampedoutdoors.com/) • RecLending (https://www.reclending.com/): Looking to buy a boat or RV?
