Justin Atkins: Stop Picking the Wrong Lure, Rules for Every Bait
We’re all guilty of defaulting to our favorite bait, even when there’s probably a better option. Justin Atkins breaks down how one of the most versatile pros in bass fishing decides when each lure actually deserves to be tied on. This is a lure-by-lure decision tree for real fishing situations — shallow cover, grass, clear water, muddy water, current, offshore schools, forward-facing sonar, pressured fish, and more. What you’ll learn: • When a spinnerbait beats a ChatterBait, swim jig, or crankbait • Why Justin always wants plastic on a spinnerbait instead of relying on a trailer hook • When a bladed jig is the better landing-percentage bait • Why a swim jig shines around shallow grass, clear water, and quiet targets • When to pick a Fritzside, lipless, squarebill, or deep crankbait • How Justin chooses between a jig, Texas rig, wacky rig, Neko, and drop shot • Why a power worm is still his first choice around offshore schools • How he picks between a jerkbait, minnow, and nail-weighted Hit Worm with forward-facing sonar Guest: Justin Atkins — Bassmaster Elite Series pro; Forrest Wood Cup champion; Bassmaster Open winner; one of the most versatile bait decision-makers on tour.

Jason Lambert: Offshore Secrets Revealed — Baits, Angles & Schools
Many anglers can find offshore bass and only catch a few. Jason Lambert dominated deep-water tournaments because he knew how to catch the right fish — the bigger ones, the pressured ones, and the schools other pros couldn’t fully unlock. In this episode, retired offshore legend Jason Lambert gives up the ledge-fishing secrets he spent years keeping quiet: where summer schools set up, why he started with big baits, how pressure moves fish, and the cast angles that kept schools biting. What you’ll learn: • Why Lambert started every offshore school with the biggest, nastiest bait on deck • How big bass position in schools, satellite groups, and pressured ledge areas • Why a first cast with a big swimbait, scrounger, Jerky J, or crankbait can trigger the right fish • How current, shell bars, creek-channel intersections, hard bottom, and irregularities create summer ledge schools • The cast-angle mistake that can pull fish off the ledge and shut down the school • Why bottom contact mattered so much with the Jerky J/scrounger system • How Lambert used side imaging, mapping, and later LiveScope to find schools faster • When to leave a school, when to change angles, and when to keep hunting for the next group Guest: Jason Lambert — Retired pro; 8 MLF/FLW wins; one of the most feared offshore ledge fishermen of his generation; known as “The Ledgehammer.” Watch the full video podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLJHIrTVplvfzK7I8FEog0BXmrt83Yc3T Save 10% on MillerTech lithium batteries and all other products: https://tinyurl.com/MillerTech10off Follow Catch More Bass—new episodes every Monday at 2 PM CT.

Mark Rose: The Real Reason You’re Not Getting Bit Deep Cranking
If you’ve ever found offshore bass but couldn’t get them to bite, Mark Rose breaks down what you’re probably missing. This is a deep-cranking and ledge-fishing clinic from one of the best to ever do it — how he fires offshore schools, chooses between crankbaits and other ledge baits, and adjusts when the fish won’t commit. What you’ll learn: • Why a deep crankbait triggers offshore schools when slower baits won’t • How Mark fishes a Strike King 6XD from 6–20+ feet, including long-lining • When to use a 10XD for bigger forage, deeper fish, bluegill, crappie, or gizzard shad eaters • Retrieve changes that matter: speed cranking, snapping, pausing, grinding, and coming over the fish • Mark’s crankbait setup: 12 lb fluorocarbon, 15 lb for bigger baits, EWG trebles, and double split rings • Color rules for offshore cranking, including citrus, sexy shad, chartreuse/blue, clear-water shad, and root beer during the bluegill spawn • When to put the crankbait down and switch to hair jigs, football jigs, Carolina rigs, spoons, worms, shaky heads, swimbaits, or scroungers • How current, wind, grass, natural lakes, and forward-facing sonar change the offshore game Guest: Mark Rose — 2018 FLW Tour Angler of the Year; 8 tour-level wins; more than $3 million in career earnings; one of the most respected offshore ledge and deep-cranking anglers in bass fishing.

Drew Gill: Why You’re Not Catching Bass on LiveScope—What Changed in 2026
Seeing fish on LiveScope is not the edge anymore. Drew Gill breaks down why so many anglers can see bass on the screen but still struggle to make them bite — and what the best scopers are doing differently now. Drew walks through his first nine pro events of the season, including two wins, and pulls out the real lessons from each one: how he found the right fish, when Scope helped, when shallow fishing won, what he missed, and why the modern forward-facing sonar game keeps changing. What you’ll learn: • Why LiveScope success is less about settings now and more about fish selection • How Drew identifies which fish are bass, which are active, and which are worth chasing • Why suspended fish are getting harder to catch on pressured lakes • When to use Scope around the bank, bed fish, fry guarders, and shallow cover • What changed at Guntersville, Harris Chain, Hartwell, Santee, Whitney/Waco, Wheeler, O.H. Ivie/Brownwood, Kentucky Lake, and REDCREST • How Alabama rigs, minnows, Neko rigs, drop shots, ChatterBaits, crankbaits, and fuzzy baits fit into Drew’s system • Drew’s take on Coike-style fuzzy baits, dice baits, and whether they have staying power • Why shallow fishing is still alive — and when not using Scope can be the better call Guest: Drew Gill — two-time pro winner already this season; widely regarded as one of the best LiveScope anglers in bass fishing; elite at breaking down bass behavior, bait response, and forward-facing sonar decision-making.

Pake South: Dice/Coike Secrets from a Master (Make LiveScope Followers Eat)
Dice baits, Coike-style baits, fuzzy baits, urchins—whatever you call them, they’re the hottest bait category in bass fishing right now. Pake South may be fishing them better than anyone, and after two record-book Bassmaster Open wins, he’s breaking down the exact details that make fish follow, commit, and fully eat. This is a deep dive into how Pake fishes dice/urchin-style baits with LiveScope, why the right sink rate and profile matter, and how the new Berkley MaxScent Moeba was designed to solve the follow-and-nip problem. What you’ll learn: • Why dice/Coike-style baits get more bites than minnows or jerkbaits in certain LiveScope situations • How Pake works them like a jerkbait: twitch, pause, adjust to the fish’s mood • The ideal sink rate, tentacle stiffness, profile, and fall that make an urchin bait work • When to throw the big 4.5-inch style vs. downsizing for smallmouth and spotted bass • The setup: 7’3” medium-heavy extra-fast rod, 20-pound fluorocarbon, baitcaster, and hard hooksets • Why first-cast accuracy at 40–60 feet matters more than bombing casts way out • How MaxScent helps turn followers and nippers into fish that actually commit • When dice baits don’t work, and how to tell fast before wasting your day Guest: Pake South — Bassmaster Elite Series pro; 2026 Bassmaster Open winner at Rayburn and Eufaula; record-book three-day weights; one of the hottest young LiveScope anglers in bass fishing.

Dylan Nutt: Why You’re Not Getting Bit on a Jighead Minnow
The jighead minnow is still the number one LiveScope bait, but it is a lot less forgiving than it was two years ago. Bassmaster Classic champion Dylan Nutt explains why fish are more conditioned than ever, which details matter most now, and how top pros still get those fish to commit. This episode starts with the jighead minnow, then widens out into the Berkley Lab Series minnow Dylan used in his Classic win and how he breaks down lakes in the LiveScope era. If you’re getting follows but not bites, this is the kind of detail-heavy conversation that can actually help. What you’ll learn: • Why Dylan still throws a jighead minnow about 80% of the time, even with Neko rigs, Dice baits, and other newer scope options • When the jighead minnow shines most, especially from fall through prespawn around suspended fish and even some bottom-oriented fish • Dylan’s full jighead minnow setup: 6'10" medium-light spinning rod, 6.8:1 reel, 8 lb Berkley X5 braid, and 10–15 lb fluorocarbon leader • The three biggest variables when fish follow but won’t eat: bait size, jighead weight, and retrieve • Why matching the hatch matters so much with a jighead minnow, including why Dylan used a bigger 6.5-inch minnow in the Classic • The biggest jighead minnow mistake Dylan sees: letting the bait fall below the fish instead of keeping it above them • What made the Berkley Lab Series minnow different, including rolling action, scent trail, and fish that would come back and eat it twice • How Dylan breaks down new lakes with LiveScope by choosing an area, graphing it thoroughly, and using fish position, cover, and bait to build a pattern faster Guest: Dylan Nutt — Bassmaster Classic champion; MLF Pro Circuit angler; University of North Alabama standout; one of the top young anglers in the LiveScope era.

5 Best Baits for May Bass Fishing — What actually works shallow to deep
May bass fishing is wide open—and that’s exactly why so many anglers get it wrong. Bass can be shallow, deep, spawning, postspawn, chasing shad, or already sliding into early summer spots, sometimes all in the same day. In this episode, I break down the 5 best baits for May bass fishing and when each one shines so you can stop guessing and start fishing what the lake is giving you. We cover topwater for low-light shad spawn and shallow feeders, a Texas-rig ribbon tail worm for shallow cover or deeper structure, a bladed jig around floating docks, a jig for the first big postspawn females moving deep, and deep-diving crankbaits to trigger aggressive offshore schools. I also finish with a bonus May tip: this is one of the best months of the year to fish your strengths, because there’s usually a window where your confidence bait can shine.
