Anyone tried corn as bait? It actually works! 🌽

Heard people talking about using fresh corn for summer fishing, so I decided to give it a shot this weekend. And it actually worked! Not sure if I just got lucky or if corn is really that effective, but I'm definitely happy with the results! Sometimes the simplest baits are the best ones. Has anyone else had success with corn? #fishing #CornBait #FishingBait #FishingTips

Is bass baiting legal in the US?

Thought about using bass as bait, but is it even legal? Seems like rules vary by state. #fishing #FishingTips #BassBait #FishingLaws

How do I catch something bigger?🐟

I’m always reeling in little guys—fun, but not exactly satisfying. Any tips on landing bigger fish? Change bait, location, or just luck? #fishing #fishingtips #bigfishhunt #Anglers

Rooster Tails just always deliver 😏

Rooster Tails might be the ultimate confidence lure. Bass, bluegill, crappie—you name it, they’ll bite. Just cast, let it sink a sec, and straight retrieve. Only downside? They love snagging everything if there’s cover. Still worth it though. What’s your go-to “never fail” lure? #fishing #roostertail #fishinggear

struggling to catch bass? try this

If you're having no luck with bass, try hitting the water at dawn or dusk. I look for surface action in the evening and throw a frog or popper when they’re chasing bugs. My go-to is a roadrunner jighead or dark rubber worm—color depends on clarity. And always fish against the wind. That’s where the bait gets pushed. What’s your go-to setup when the bite’s tough? #fishing #bassfishing #fishingtips

Why spinnerbaits still crush it

Next to frogging, spinnerbaits are my absolute favorite way to fish. They're incredibly versatile - I've caught bass in muddy water, clear water, shallow, deep, winter, summer... you name it! Quick setup guide: 1️⃣ Weight selection - Match depth + retrieve speed (1/2oz is perfect middle ground) 2️⃣ Blade combo - Colorado/willow tandem works 90% of the time 3️⃣ Color matching - Silver for clear water, gold for stained/tannic water 4️⃣ Add trailer - Split-tail grub gives extra action without changing fall rate Key fishing tips: - Fish around cover (docks, stumps, laydowns) - Keep steady retrieve to maintain hook-up position - "Kill" the bait right after clearing cover - creates irregular action that triggers strikes - Pump rod tip occasionally for fleeing baitfish look The beauty of spinnerbaits? They're moving baits that cover water fast while staying relatively weedless. Perfect for finding active fish! #fishing #spinnerbait #bassfishing #fishingtips

Scents that actually helped me catch more bass

Used to think scented lures were just marketing hype until I started testing them seriously. After trying 20+ different scents across multiple fisheries, I'm now a complete believer - especially in tough conditions. 1️⃣ Berkley MaxScent – My go-to for smallmouths in murky water. Stays on longer and gets bites when visibility is low. 2️⃣ Nories Aging Bass Liquid – Works well in clear, cold water. I soak my plastics for days and it makes a difference. 3️⃣ Berkley Gulp – Leaves a strong trail. Perfect for current-heavy spots or tough bites. 4️⃣ Bait Fuel – Subtle but deadly. Great in pressured lakes or when fish are just "off." Plus, it doesn’t stain gear. 5️⃣ Bang Garlic Spray – Ideal for largemouths in the South. Garlic seems to fire them up in muddy conditions. Scents won’t save a bad bait choice, but they will get you bonus bites when conditions are tough. #fishing #scentedlures #bassfishing #fishingtips
