Why You Need 3 Types of Frog Lures

Frog fishing isn’t just about tossing any old frog and hoping for the best! You actually need three different hollow body frogs to cover all the action: a walking-pushing frog for covering big water, a popping frog for slow, precise spots, and a buzzing frog for skipping over mats and under docks. Trust me, picking the right frog for the right situation means way more bass and way more fun. Don’t sleep on those little tweaks like hook angle and rattles, either! #FishingTips #BassFishing #FrogLures #Finance

Sabine River Showdown: Who’s Really Winning?

Turns out, the so-called 'scope kids' can fish just fine without their high-tech gear! Day 1 at the Sabine River Elite tourney has some of the old-school favorites way down the leaderboard, while the new generation is proving everyone wrong. The Top 10 is a global mix, and the difference between cashing in and going home is just a couple pounds. Even a tiny fish could mean thousands! This one’s anyone’s game—mental grit is just as important as technique. Who’s your pick to pull ahead? #BassFishing #SabineRiver #FishingTourney #UnderdogStory #EliteSeries #Finance

Obsessed with fly fishing? This week’s Tying Tuesday is packed with killer patterns for trout, bass, and even saltwater. Barry Ord Clarke’s Slow-Water Caddis is delicate but totally worth the effort—trout won’t know what hit ‘em. The Ausable Wulff is a bushy classic that survives rough water, and the Shimmer Minnow brings the bling for both bass and trout. Don’t miss the Saltwater Deceiver for big water action, plus a handy guide to fly-tying hooks.

May Bass Lures You Gotta Try

Bass are on the move in May, and the pros are spilling their secrets! Down South, it's all about deep-diving crankbaits, jigs, and finesse rigs for those post-spawn fish. In the Northeast, ChatterBaits and jigs are crushing it near shallow structure. Out West, crankbaits and drop shots are the go-to for tricky bass in changing water. Up North? Jerkbaits, swimbaits, and Ned rigs are the ticket for pre-spawn and spawning fish. Grab these lures and get ready for some serious bites! #bassfishing #fishingtips #springfishing #lurelife #fishingseason

I catch more fish with $35 Walmart gear

Internet's gonna hate this but here goes - fishing gear all does the same thing. That $35 Walmart combo works just as well as your premium setup. See those guys at every dock slaying fish with cheap gear? They're proof expensive doesn't equal better. Fish don't care about your brand flex. My recommendation: any medium-light rod ($15-100), cheap Chinese reel from Amazon (3000 size), decent 6-10lb mono, basic lures and hooks. Total cost under $200. Went out last weekend with no-name Chinese gear and filled the boat. Fish didn't ask to see my receipt or check if my rod was "premium sensitive." Maybe we just buy fancy gear to impress each other? #fishing #fishingtips #budgetangler #tightlines #bassfishing #warehousewisdom

I fish for sport, not for dinner. Anyone same?

Been fishing for years now, and my reasons have shifted over time. Sometimes I fish for sport, sometimes for food—it depends on the mood and the species. When I want to eat, I’ll go for walleye, perch, or crappie. Bass? They’re fun to catch, but not my top pick for the table. I usually release them, especially the big ones—let them pass on those good genes. I really respect folks who cull smaller bass to keep the balance right. Just don’t take more than your limit, and stay in season. Curious—do you fish to eat, for fun, or both? And which species do you keep vs. release? #fishing #bassfishing #catchandrelease #Outdoors
