    Shane LeHew: Why you’re not getting bit on Docks — Full gameplan for bass on docks

    Fishing tips for Largemouth bass: If docks are everywhere on your lake but you’re not getting consistent bites, you don’t need “more docks” — you need a better plan. Bassmaster Elite Series pro Shane LeHew breaks down dock fishing the way he actually thinks about it: which docks are worth your time, where the fish sit as conditions change, and how to make the casts that reach the ones everyone else leaves behind. What you’ll learn: • How Shane chooses floating vs. pole docks based on season and water clarity (clear/prespawn vs stained/ambush) • Why sun + shade can make (or kill) the floating-dock bite • The “first cast goes to the hardest hole” rule — and why rushing docks costs bites • Shane’s core dock baits: 3/8–1/2 oz skipping jig, plus wacky/finesse options when conditions demand it • How far to stay off in clear water, and why skipping beats pitching for spooky fish • Where bass set up on cable/crossmember docks (front structure vs. backside “hardest to reach”) Guest: Shane LeHew — Bassmaster Elite Series pro; lifelong dock fisherman (Lake Norman roots); known for precision skipping and “hardest-cast-first” dock approach.

    Why You’re Not Getting Bit in Cold Water — 3 Fixes That Work

    Bass Fishing Tips: Cold water is one of the toughest times of year to get bit — but it’s also when the biggest bass show up. In this solo breakdown, I’ll show you exactly how to turn slow, frustrating winter days into real trophy opportunities.

You’ll learn how to read creek channels, identify “deep water access” spots, and pick the right lures for the conditions — from bladed jigs and crankbaits to slow, big-profile jigs. Plus, I’ll cover the key timing windows that make the difference between a blank day and your best bite of the year. If you’ve ever struggled to get bit once the water drops below 50, this episode gives you the system that keeps producing when nothing else does.
