Bass are conditioned creatures. Many times, their desire to feed is stimulated by some larger change in their environment. As an angler, if you can predict or detect that change ahead of time, you can be at the right place at the right time to take advantage of that stimulus.
The month of December is the final transition from the last of the fall season into true winter. Up until this point, water temperatures have been steadily declining from the 70s into the 60s. Now, more intense fronts of winter will squash water temperatures into the low 50s and over
Current is one of the last great secrets in bass fishing. Current is mysterious, ambiguous, and hard to quantify, yet it plays such a strong role in bass behavior, especially in power-generating reservoirs. Most reservoirs in a power-producing chain of lakes have both an outflow and an inflow dam. To

Two-time Bassmaster Classic winner Jordan Lee is known for utilizing current conditions instead of milking a bunch of historical areas on a lake. He remembers when keeping up with such current conditions required a lot of time and resources. “We used to put sticks in the ground at the waterline,
After Jordan Lee won his second Bassmaster Classic in 2018 at the age of 26, I asked him a question that had perplexed me about his back-to-back world titles. “How does a guy your age go to Conroe and Hartwell, (the sites of his two Classic wins) and beat a
Hey, Deep Dive crew—fall's here, and with it comes the year's lowest water levels. No heavy rains, cranked-up evaporation from cooling temps, and reservoirs drawing down for winter prep mean lakes are shrinking fast. But here's the upside: These drops concentrate baitfish like
As the dog days of summer drag on, bass anglers across the US know the struggle all too well. Water temperatures soar into the 80s or even 90s, turning lakes and reservoirs into warm baths that send fish into a sluggish stupor. Oxygen levels drop, metabolism slows, and those trophy
