Monster bags await Kayak Series Championship anglers at Lake Fork

YANTIS, Texas — Giant bass await anglers who qualified for the 2025 Yamaha Rightwaters Bassmaster Kayak Series Championship at Lake Fork scored by TourneyX. With temperatures rising, multitime championship qualifier Matthew Scotch, who is based out of Fort Worth, Texas, believes this tournament will produce impressive bags. 

“That time of year is probably the best time of the year to be there,” the east Texan said. “In my opinion, you’re gonna have the most fish at their fattest and healthiest as the spawn kicks off. There will be waves of fish spawning all the way through May, but when you get there in March, I mean, you just got the first crack at him. It’s gonna be really, really good.” 

Tournament days are scheduled for March 19-20. Competitors will be able to launch from any approved public access on the lake starting at 7 a.m. CT and will have until 3 p.m. to fish. This is a catch-measure-release format event, and the top finishers will be honored on the 2025 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Under Armour stage at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth on March 21. 

Lake Fork has reached a legendary status as one of, if not the, primary destination in the country for trophy largemouth bass. The Progressive Bassmaster Elite Series showed the fishery’s amazing potential last March as then-rookie Trey McKinney caught 130 pounds, 15 ounces over four days to win a massive event that saw the entire Top 10 join the Century Club. 

The Kayak Series has made three trips to Lake Fork, with one-day events in March of 2020 and 2021 respectively and the first two-day event on the lake in February 2022. 

Scotch, who finished second in last October’s Bassmaster Kayak Series event at Caddo Lake/Lake Bistineau to qualify for this event, believes multiple patterns could play out, which opens up plenty of opportunities for anglers. Weather will determine how far bass will move toward their spawning areas. The Little Caney section of the lake will be popular, but Scotch thinks much of the lake will be in play.

“It turns on early here. It may not be a heavy spawn, but it depends on the weather,” he said. “If we have the right warming trend, we might see an awesome spawn tournament. But if we get a cold front, it might be one of those things where it is a little more prespawn. You can’t come to Fork at a better time of year, really. The middle of March is the sweet time to come.”

A shallow bite should be heating up when anglers arrive, Scotch said. The bass heading toward beds will stage on secondary points close to the spawning grounds. There is also shoreline alligator grass the bass like to get in, but if the water is low, that won’t play quite as much. 

Some of those prespawn bass will also school up around hard spots in 12 to 24 feet of water. For those with forward-facing sonar on their kayaks, there will also be opportunities to pick apart some of the standing timber the lake is known for.

Any pattern could produce a heavyweight class of largemouth, and Scotch said he would not be surprised to see a 24.5-incher light up TourneyX during the tournament.

“Just because there will be bass up shallow doesn’t mean someone won’t catch them out deep,” he said. “You will be able to catch them in so many different ways.”

Red crankbaits, ChatterBaits and Texas-rigged worms like a Yamamoto Senko will be popular choices amongst anglers, Scotch anticipates. During the 2024 Elite event, jerkbaits and jighead minnows played a major role offshore as well. 

The Wood County Economic Development Commission will be hosting the event.





Rocket City Makes Final Preparations for Major League Fishing’s Bass Pro Shops REDCREST 2025 Presented by MillerTech Energy at Lake Guntersville

MLF Championship to feature massive Outdoor Sports Expo at Huntsville’s Von Braun Center along with top 50 pro anglers battling on Lake Guntersville for $300,000 grand prize

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (March 13, 2025) – The top 50 professional bass fishing anglers from the Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour will compete for the top prize of $300,000 and to crown bass fishing’s newest world champion at Bass Pro Shops REDCREST 2025 Presented by MillerTech Energy on Lake Guntersville in Huntsville, Alabama, April 3-6. In In conjunction with the event, the FREE, family-friendly MLF Outdoor Sports Expo will also take place throughout the weekend, April 4-6 at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville.  

The four-day event, hosted by the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association, and the Madison County Commission , will showcase the top 50 MLF anglers from 2024 – including the top 40 anglers from the Bass Pro Tour – competing for the prestigious REDCREST Championship and a total prize pool for more than ¾ of a million dollars.

“We are excited about bringing the fishing world to Huntsville for REDCREST 2025,” said Judy Ryals, President and CEO of the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Sitting in the middle of one of the great bass fishing areas in the United States, we look forward to welcoming REDCREST to the Rocket City and seeing the Outdoor Sports Expo take over the Von Braun Center as we create a one-of-a-kind experience for everyone interested in the sport.”

Reigning and two-time REDCREST champion Dustin Connell of Clanton, Alabama, who will be among the 50 competitors, said that Lake Guntersville is fishing as good as it’s ever been and that he expects to see some big fish caught all across the lake.  

“Lake Guntersville is fishing unbelievable right now,” Connell said. “It’s been that way for the last few years. It’s one of the best, healthiest lakes in the country, and I think we’re going to see some giant fish caught. It’s going to be an awesome tournament, no doubt.”

Lake Guntersville has long been a bucket-list destination among tournament anglers, regularly producing tournament-winning weights of 30 pounds or more. This year’s event presents a little bit of a challenge, taking place during the spring transition.

“We’re right on the verge of things getting a little funky,” Connell explained. “The fish are starting to move up, but it’s a grindy time of year because they’re transitioning from feeding to spawning. If we hit it just right, they might be shallow and ready to bite, but they could also be cruising and a little harder to catch.”

Connell, whose two prior REDCREST victories have come on Alabama’s Lake Eufaula and Lay Lake, knows that adaptability will be key.

“There are four or five major creeks that could produce the winning fish – North Sauty, Honeycomb, Seibold, Browns, and Spring,” Connell said. “With only 50 boats on the water, the field will probably be spread out and you could realistically not see another angler all day. That’s what makes REDCREST so special—everybody has a real shot.

“You’ll see guys fishing docks, throwing jerkbaits, ChatterBaits, maybe even frogs,” Connell said. “I’ll definitely be throwing a Rapala Mavrik – I love throwing that jerkbait, and we’re getting to that time of year where we’re really going to catch them on it. And a (Rapala Crush City) Janitor and (Rapala Crush City) Pigstick weightless stick bait for targeting those shallow, structure-oriented fish. Forward-facing sonar is definitely going to play a role in this one, and I’ll definitely be using it when I can. There isn’t a single tournament where I don’t have a (Rapala Crush City) Freeloader tied on and ready to go.”

Connell is eager for a chance to claim an unprecedented third championship title. For Connell, REDCREST represents the pinnacle of the sport.

“This is the one you want to win,” he said. “It’s not just the $300,000 payday – it’s the prestige. Winning REDCREST sets you apart. Lake Guntersville is world-famous, and to win the biggest tournament on that stage? That’s what we do this for and what it’s all about.”

Anglers will launch each morning from Civitan Park, located at 1130 Sunset Drive, in Huntsville, Alabama, at 7:15 a.m. Fans are welcome to attend all launch events and also encouraged to follow the event online throughout the day on the MLF NOW!® live stream and SCORETRACKER® coverage at MajorLeagueFishing.com.

The free, family-friendly MLF Outdoor Sports Expo will also take place throughout the weekend, April 4-6 at the Von Braun Center, located at 700 Monroe St. SW, in Huntsville. Fishing and outdoor enthusiasts are invited to explore an array of booths and vendors, featuring the newest innovations and gear in fishing, boating, and outdoors. Meet some of the biggest names in the industry, including professional anglers from the Bass Pro Tour and legendary Bass Fishing Hall of Famers like Kevin VanDam.

The tournament will showcase the MLF catch, weigh, immediate-release format, in which anglers catch as much weight as they can each day, while also feeling the pressure and intensity of the SCORETRACKER® leaderboard. Bass Pro Shops REDCREST 2025 Presented by MillerTech Energy at Lake Guntersville will feature anglers competing with a 2-pound minimum weight requirement for a bass to be deemed scorable.

The 2024 Bass Pro Tour featured a field of 78 of the top professional anglers in the world, competing across seven regular-season tournaments around the country, for millions of dollars and valuable points to qualify for the Bass Pro Shops REDCREST 2025 Presented by MillerTech Energy.

The full field of anglers will compete in the two-day Qualifying Round on Thursday and Friday. After the two-day Qualifying Round is complete, the pro with the highest two-day total will advance directly to Sunday’s Championship Round. Anglers that finish 2nd through 20th will advance to Saturday’s Knockout Round. In the Knockout Round, weights are zeroed, and the remaining anglers compete to finish in the top nine to advance to Sunday’s Championship Round. In the final-day Championship Round, weights are zeroed, and the highest one-day total wins professional bass fishing’s top prize of $300,000.

The MLFNOW!® broadcast team of Chad McKee and J.T. Kenney will break down the extended action live on each day of competition from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. MLFNOW!® is live streamed on MajorLeagueFishing.com, the MyOutdoorTV (MOTV) app and Rumble.

Great Lakes Finesse Launches NEW Finesse CX Rods

  • March 13, 2025

To compliment their advanced finesse soft plastic and terminal fishing solutions, Great Lakes Finesse has now launched the most sensitive and longest-casting finesse rods on the planet.

When targeting the biggest, most pressured fish, every inch of casting distance, every subtle bite detected, and every battle fought on light line matters. That’s why we created the Finesse CX line of rods—the most sensitive and longest-casting finesse rods on the planet.

Traditional rods fall short when it comes to casting ultra-light baits far enough, feeling the lightest bites, and maintaining the perfect balance of power and finesse to land trophy fish on small hooks and light line. The Finesse CX series is engineered to solve all of these problems.

Watch the videos below and learn how Finesse CX rods are engineered to excel and provide the best solutions for finesse fishing tackle and techniques.

Big bag lifts Nutt to the lead at Pickwick Lake

Big bag lifts Nutt to the lead at Pickwick Lake

Nation_Mercury_Lowrance_4C_Raster.png

FLORENCE, Ala. — It is safe to say Dylan Nutt has a good thing going on Pickwick Lake right now. 

With a two-day total of 53 pounds, 14 ounces, the University of North Alabama junior leads the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Qualifier presented by Lowrance. After landing 25-15 on Day 1, Nutt landed a 27-15 limit on Day 2, the tournament’s biggest bag thus far, and anchored it with a 7-pound largemouth. 

Nutt holds a 3-4 advantage over second-place Nick Dumke and a nearly 8-pound lead over Eli Lubbehusen in third place. 

“Today was a good day,” Nutt said. “Everything went to plan.”

This will be the former Bassmaster All-American’s third major tournament victory on Pickwick this season after winning a Toyota Series event on the Tennessee River impoundment in February and the Bill Dance Giant Bass Open last Saturday. 

Limits were tough to come by for the 155-boat field on Thursday, with only 37 boaters landing five bass on Day 2. Quality continued to show up at the top half of the field, however, as 13 bags of 20 pounds or better crossed the weigh-in stage. 

As temperatures have warmed across the region over the past week, Nutt has been targeting prespawn bass in multiple different staging areas. A mix of cover has been productive in these staging areas including stumps, brushpiles and points. He has caught bass anywhere between 5 and 15 feet of water. The majority of his areas have multiple bass staging in them. Five different baits came into play on Day 2. 

“I fished some new water today,” he explained. “I’m just fishing a lot of staging areas where they are getting set up to spawn. Some of them are on the bottom, some are a foot off the bottom and then others are a little higher in the water column.”

The majority of his bass have been largemouth, with some bigger smallmouth also counting toward his total. 

Bright, calm conditions made the fishing tough on Day 1, Nutt said, but overcast and rainy conditions made for a better Day 2. 

“I think they were just in a feeding mood,” he said.

Nutt opened the morning by fishing one of his primary schools, and on the second cast he landed a 5 ½-pounder. From there, he proceeded to fill out a quick limit, which included the 7-pounder. From there, he made several upgrades throughout the afternoon before check-in time.

“That bass was sitting down there on the bottom and ate my bait,” Nutt said. “When I got him up, I realized I didn’t have the net ready, so I had to play it around the boat and grab it.”

Another weather change is expected tomorrow in northern Alabama as a massive storm system approaches. Winds are forecast to blow between 15 and 25 mph out of the southeast with higher gusts possible, which will make it difficult for Nutt to execute his milk run. 

“It’ll be pretty crazy. The lake will get huge,” he said. “I like to move around a lot out here, so that will definitely hurt me.” 

Meanwhile, Dumke has been consistent so far this week, catching bags of 25-3 and 25-7 to move from fourth to second on Day 2.

Dumke has visited Pickwick Lake plenty during his college career at the University of Montevallo but has never been here this time of year.

Prespawn bass have also been the key to his success, landing quality bass anywhere from 8 to 14 feet of water around multiple types of cover. Three baits have proved to be the most productive. 

On the way back to check-in on Day 1, Dumke’s trim sensor malfunctioned, limiting how fast his boat can go. After attempting to fix it with no success Wednesday evening, Dumke puttered to his starting spot on Day 2. The wait was worth it, however, as the Minnesota native landed a 6 3/4-pounder within his first five minutes of fishing.

“I fished around from there,” he said. “I ran some areas close to that spot. It was a blessing in disguise almost because I was forced to hunker down and pick apart my areas. I had my whole bag around 11 o’clock. It got really tough after that.”

While he is certainly within striking distance, Dumke knows it will be a tough task to unseat Nutt as the leader on Championship Friday.

“The stars are going to have to align a little bit for sure,” he said. “Dylan obviously has a crazy track record here. Him and his brother (Carter) are probably the most dialed anglers out here. You can’t let that get to your head. I’m just going to see what I can put together. I know there are giant ones in my areas.”

Illinois angler Corey Bohlmann continues to hold Big Bass of the Tournament honors with his 8-3 largemouth from Day 1. 

Wisconsin’s Gabriel Fabbri leads the nonboater division with a two-day total of 23-9. He is followed by Wisconsin’s Kacey Meyer in second with 23-3 and Florida’s Dustin Shuler in third with 18-1. Tennessee’s Bill Scharton Jr landed a 6-14 bass on Day 2, which leads the Big Bass of the Tournament standings.  

The Top 20 boaters and Top 20 nonboaters will return to Pickwick tomorrow for Championship Friday. Anglers will launch at 7 a.m. CT and return for weigh-in at 3 p.m. The Top 17 in each division will advance to the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship at Upper Mississippi River presented by Lowrance in October.

Visit Florence is hosting the tournament.

Spring Fishing: Master Every Depth!

Spring bass fishing is most effective when you approach it with a structured mindset, targeting all three layers of the water column. Bass move frequently during this season, adjusting their depth based on water temperature, weather conditions, and spawning cycles. By focusing on topwater, mid-depth, and bottom fishing, anglers can increase their chances of success no matter where bass are positioned. The key is to experiment with different depths throughout the day, as bass may be feeding near the surface in the morning but move deeper as the sun rises. A methodical approach allows anglers to make quick adjustments, ensuring they are always presenting their baits in the most productive zones. Understanding seasonal transitions is crucial, as bass shift from deeper wintering holes to shallower spawning areas throughout the spring. During early spring, bass are often found near deeper points and drop-offs, requiring bottom-oriented techniques. As the water warms, they move toward mid-depth structures like submerged vegetation and ledges before eventually staging in the shallows. Recognizing these types of movements helps anglers determine which areas to target and what presentations will be most effective.Our Fresh HellaMite is designed to imitate a major aquatic food source, delivering a realistic profile of an insect larva that fish can’t resist. Scented for complete and total attraction underwater along with being made in the USA by real fishermen just like you. Grab our newest Lil Bass, Hot Sauce, MidNight, Glow, 10w30 Synthetic, Slimer Green, and Barbie Pink HellaMite colors. Act quickly, these new colors won’t stay in stock for long. We also recently restocked our Ghost, Red Bug, Purple Rain, Brown Bug, Electric Chicken, and Goby Wan colors. The HellaMite’s solid body and hyperactive ribbed tail design produce a life-like quivering action with every twitch of the rod. Its unique flat underbelly detail enables this bait to be fished as a drop shot, Ned rig, neko rig, and even a small Carolina-rig, making it the ideal bait in any condition year-round. When the water is clear, the fish can see the bait and look like real food, causing strikes. Each cast becomes an opportunity for an exhilarating catch, thanks to its superior performance and versatility.
Many anglers associate topwater fishing with summer, but bass will strike surface lures much earlier in the year than most realize. When water temperatures climb into the low 50s, soft plastic lizards or insect larva imitations can be worked slowly across the surface to trigger aggressive bites. This technique is particularly effective around submerged vegetation, near docks, and along shallow points where bass move up to feed. In calm water conditions, a slow and subtle topwater presentation can entice hesitant bass to strike, while choppy water may require a more active retrieval. Working a soft plastic across the surface in short bursts, with occasional pauses, can mimic vulnerable prey and provoke instinctual reactions from opportunistic fish. In the early mornings and late evenings, bass often patrol the shallows in search of easy meals, making these prime times to throw a topwater bait. Overhanging trees, flooded brush, and areas with emerging aquatic vegetation provide excellent ambush points where bass wait to strike unsuspecting prey. A well-placed cast near these structures, followed by a patient and controlled retrieve, can trigger explosive surface strikes. Even during the spawn and post-spawn periods, bass will attack topwater presentations out of territorial defense, making it a valuable technique throughout the entire season.We use our Fresh Scorpion because it closely imitates a crawfish. Our newest 10w30 Synthetic, Slimer Green, and Barbie Pink Scorpion colors work wonders. The Scorpion is a revolutionary new look to soft plastics. Its intricate detailing and texture mimic the nuances of a real crawfish, making it hard for bass to resist. Of course, water clarity always plays a role in color selection but in any season, you can’t miss using colors such as Green Pumpkin SeedBrown BarkMagneto. This bait not only appears natural to fish but gives them something to become curious about. The Scorpion paired with a stand-up jig is deadly because the jig actually sits the bait upright in a defensive stance. The subtle color variations across the bait further enhance its appeal, mimicking the natural color shifts found in live prey. Each Fresh Scorpion has a unique and exclusive 3-axis tail design that is engineered like no other soft plastic bait. Our Scorpions are made by anglers from high-grade non-salt plastic to provide superior life-like action-triggering strikes!
As bass transition between shallow and deep water, mid-depth fishing becomes a critical part of a successful spring strategy. Soft plastic beetles and crayfish-style baits can be rigged to mimic fleeing prey, offering a lifelike profile that bass can’t resist. Retrieving these baits with an erratic motion, occasionally pausing or twitching, creates an irresistible action that triggers reaction strikes. Mid-depth fishing is especially productive near drop-offs, submerged rock piles, and along the edges of weed beds, where bass stage before moving into spawning areas. By adjusting retrieval speed and target depth based on fish activity, anglers can effectively work this zone to maximize their chances of getting a catch. In the cold, a slower retrieve with subtle movements is often necessary, as bass are less likely to chase fast-moving prey. As the water warms, increasing retrieval speed and adding more aggressive twitches can draw strikes from bass that are actively feeding. Fishing along transition zones, such as where hard bottom meets soft bottom or where deep water meets shallow flats, helps anglers locate the most productive areas. By experimenting with different bait colors and sizes, anglers can fine-tune their presentations to match the forage bass are keying in on, ensuring continued success throughout the season.The new FreshBaitz Lizards deliver a realistic profile that excels in both power and finesse techniques. Act fact, we just released new Hot Sauce, MidNight, Ghost, and 10w30 Syntheic Lizard designs! The unique forward-facing leg design creates drag that holds it in the strike zone longer or produces wild flapping action with every pull of the rod. Additionally, its slightly ribbed solid body and large head hold your hook in place and provide much better weedless performance making it the ideal bait to use in any condition. Water clarity always plays a super big role in color selection but in any season year-round, you can’t miss when using colors such as Watermelon Red, Black & Blue, or Green Pumpkin. Its flexible tail design ensures added movement, tempting even the most cautious fish. The superior 5.5-inch profile stretches to a whole 7 inches which is perfect for predatory fish including bass year round. Made from long-lasting durable high-grade non-salted plastic for total and maximum attention-grabbing action underwater.
Fishing the bottom is a tried-and-true approach that works well throughout the entire spring season. Soft plastic worms, lizards, and crayfish imitations fished along the lake floor can entice bass holding tight to cover. A slow drag-and-pause technique works best in colder water, allowing bass to commit to a strike without expending too much energy. As the water temperatures warm and bass become more aggressive, slightly faster hops and twitches can trigger more reaction bites. Targeting areas such as submerged logs, deep pockets in weed beds, and rocky ledges will consistently produce fish, especially during pre-spawn and post-spawn transitions. One key to successful bottom fishing is maintaining constant contact with the lake floor, as this helps mimic natural prey like crayfish or worms burrowing in the sediment. Using a weighted setup ensures the bait stays in the strike zone, making it easier for bass to locate and attack. Anglers should pay attention to subtle bites, as bottom-dwelling bass often inhale soft plastics with minimal movement. During post-spawn, bass often seek cover in shady areas or deeper water, making precise bottom presentations even more important. By adjusting weight size, retrieval speed, and bait profile, anglers can refine their bottom fishing techniques and consistently trigger bites throughout the season.Our Fresh Beetle delivers ultimate versatility in a soft plastic bait. Its slim yet wide body design and four claws are engineered to naturally glide and wobble as it moves through the water. This design ensures they remain enticingly active longer than conventional baits. Its unique texture also provides a realistic feel, making bass hold on longer once they bite. Water clarity plays a big role in color selection but year-round you can’t miss when using go-to colors such as Chocolate MintOx Blood, or 10w30 Synthetic beetles. The hyper-active swimming claws are designed thin with long-lasting durable non-salt plastic to make them come alive with the slightest movement. The Fresh Beetle offers an enticing 4-inch profile and is scented for complete and total attraction! You can rig these Beetles as a Jig/ Chatter Trailer, Flippin/ Punching, Texas Rig, Swing Jig, and Carolina Rig. Making the beetle beyond perfect in any weather condition year-round!
Choosing the right bait size and color based on water conditions is a fundamental part of spring bass fishing. In murky or stained water, darker colors such as black, blue, or deep green create a strong silhouette that bass can detect more easily. In clear water, more natural colors like brown, watermelon, or translucent hues blend in better with the surroundings and appear more realistic. Larger profile baits are ideal in early spring when bass are feeding heavily before the spawn, while smaller, more finesse-style soft plastics work better in highly pressured waters. Adjusting bait size and color throughout the day based on lighting and water clarity ensures that presentations remain as natural and enticing as possible. When the water is colder, slower-moving baits with subtle action, such as soft plastic worms or insect larva imitations, are more effective. As temperatures rise, bass become more aggressive and will readily attack larger, more active presentations like lizards or crayfish-style baits. Time of day can further impact bait selection, with low-light conditions favoring high-contrast colors and bright, sunny days requiring more natural patterns. By continuously assessing environmental factors and adjusting the lure presentation accordingly throughout the spring season, anglers can significantly improve their catch rates.Using a stick-styled worm is the most tried and true ways to catch fish.

We’ve also recently released new 8-count packs of worms available in Watermelon RedBlack & Blue, and Green Pumpkin. We also offer worms that have the unique ability to shift from one color to another. Scented for total attraction underwater.
One of the most important factors in spring fishing success is adjusting the speed of retrieval to match bass behavior. In early spring, a slow and methodical retrieve is often necessary, as bass tend to be less aggressive due to colder water temperatures. As the season progresses and the water warms, bass become more willing to chase down faster-moving baits, allowing anglers to cover much more water efficiently. Key structures such as submerged vegetation, laydowns, rocky points, docks, and channel swings serve as prime ambush spots where bass wait for prey to pass by. Understanding how to work each type of structure effectively, whether by dragging a soft plastic worm along the bottom or twitching a lizard through a weed bed, is crucial for consistent success. Slowly dragging a soft plastic beetle across the bottom and then suddenly giving it a quick hop can mimic a startled prey animal, enticing bass to strike. When fishing around docks and submerged timber, allowing a bait to pause or flutter down naturally can tempt the hesitant fish into committing. In deeper areas, adjusting the weight size can control the speed at which a bait reaches the very bottom, ensuring it stays in the strike zone longer. By fine-tuning retrieval techniques and paying attention to how the bass respond, anglers can effectively adapt to changing conditions and maximize their catches throughout spring.Our newest FreshBaitz Mandingo Trick Worm is the ultimate game-changer for anglers with a passion! Engineered for the angler who knows SIZE does matter, this lure is designed to attract only the BIGGEST bass with a penchant for the larger bait.

Proudly made in the USA by real anglers to help elevate your fishing experience and catch more bass year-round!
Spring is a critical time in the bass lifecycle, and understanding their spawning behavior can give anglers a significant advantage. As bass move into the shallows to spawn, they become highly territorial and will aggressively strike baits that intrude on their nesting areas. Soft plastics like lizards and beetles can be fished slowly over or near beds to provoke reaction bites from both males guarding nests and females protecting their eggs. After the spawn, male bass remain in the area to guard newly hatched fry, making them especially aggressive toward anything that seems like a threat. This period offers some of the best topwater action of the season, as males will chase down baits with intense aggression. Practicing responsible catch-and-release during this time helps sustain healthy bass populations while still allowing for an exciting and productive fishing experience. Locating spawning bass requires a keen eye and knowledge of where they prefer to bed. Look for clear, shallow water near protected coves, sandy flats, or areas with a hard bottom, as these provide ideal nesting grounds. Polarized sunglasses can help anglers spot bass beds more easily by reducing surface glare and making fish more visible. When fishing beds, patience is key—sometimes it takes multiple casts and subtle bait movements to trigger a strike.We have a wide variety of terminal tackle to choose from, but we’ve recently released new Nako Tungsten Tear Drop Shot Weights, crafted from 97% eco-friendly tungsten for stealth, durability, and vibration, with easy-to-read size stamps and a crimped swivel for quick changes.

Prespawn largemouth carry Myers to Day 1 lead at Pickwick

Nation_Mercury_Lowrance_4C_Raster.png

FLORENCE, Ala. — Landon Myers enjoyed the best day of tournament fishing of his young life so far on Day 1 of the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Qualifier at Pickwick Lake presented by Lowrance. The 18-year-old Alcoa High School (Tennessee) senior landed a five-bass limit weighing 27 pounds, 7 ounces to take the Day 1 lead over second-place Dylan Nutt, who brought 25-15 to the scales.

“I love fishing,” Myers said. “It is a passion of mine. This is a lake I like. I wanted to come here ready to swing on them. I was able to do that today. It was pretty crazy. It was a great day.”

It may not have been easy to get a bite on Pickwick Lake on a bright and warm Day 1, but the bass that did bite were the right size. Of the 43 limits caught today, 15 of them weighed more than 20 pounds. Several other anglers put together impressive bags with just four bass in them.

The Top 17 boaters and nonboaters at the end of the week will advance to the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship at Upper Mississippi River presented by Lowrance Oct. 22-25 in La Crosse, Wis.  

Myers, who committed to fish for Carson-Newman University in November, has fished Pickwick in the past. But over the winter, he spent much of his time on Watts Bar and Chickamauga Lake, and some of that knowledge has helped him this week. 

Coming off a 57th-place finish at the Strike King Bassmaster High School Series event at Smith Lake at the beginning of the month, Myers wanted to have a strong showing at his first Nation event. His practice period gave him a good reason to be excited.

“Last night I was sitting at dinner shaking. I was pumped (for today),” he explained. “I had a decent practice. I tried not to catch them. There’s not a lot of point in leaning on them in practice. But I had a good idea of what I was going to be doing.”

While his first stop of the day did not pan out as expected, it didn’t take much longer for Myers to find his rhythm. By 10 a.m., the east Tennessean had landed a 22-pound limit fishing sweet spots in one primary area. At 11:30, he caught a 6-pound largemouth to bolster his limit.

“At that point, I had quit fishing my stuff,” he said. “I was running new water from 11:30 on. All of my fish looked like twins. Everything was healthy and fat.”

Then at around 2:30, he boated another kicker largemouth, one that weighed over 6 pounds. His final tally included four largemouth and a smallmouth. 

Myers caught bass as shallow as 8 feet of water and as deep as 40 feet of water, but as the temperatures rose, he noticed the prespawners he was targeting started to move shallower. Three baits caught the majority of his weight on Day 1, and he noted his Garmin LiveScope was an important component to his success. 

A few other competitors are also fishing the same area, but not as many as he expected. 

“I’m probably fishing the bank more often,” he noted. “I’ve caught a lot of bass off wood so far. As it got warmer, I started catching them shallower.”

Warm temperatures are expected to continue throughout the week, and Myers is confident there are still plenty of bass in the area; it is just a matter of getting them to bite. 

Nutt, a junior at the University of North Alabama and 2022 Bassmaster High School All-American, continued his impressive streak at Pickwick Lake with his nearly 26-pound limit on Day 1. He has already won a three-day Toyota Series event this year and also won the Bill Dance Giant Bass Open on Saturday (the first day of Nation practice) with an 8-pound largemouth. 

It was an overall tougher practice for Nutt, but some of his productive areas paid off once again on Day 1. 

“It was really tough, to be honest,” Nutt said. “I did get keyed into a few little things about what the fish are doing. I’ve been catching a lot of 3-pounders, which don’t get you anywhere on Pickwick.”

Targeting bass moving into prespawn staging areas, Nutt landed 20 pounds within his first 30 minutes of fishing. He then went a long while without landing a quality keeper. 

“I started second guessing myself. I said a prayer and asked The Lord to help me make the right decisions and fish open-minded,” Nutt said. “The next two spots I went to, I caught a 5 ½ off one of them and a 5 and a 5 ½ off the second one. Today was just a blessing.” 

He finished the day with three largemouth and two smallmouth in his bag. Nutt said he rotated through plenty of baits on Day 1, with four turning out to be the most productive. Forward-facing sonar has played a role in his success as well. Water temperatures were between 54 and 56 degrees in his areas. 

Indiana’s Eli Lubbehusen sits in third place with 25-4 followed by Minnesota’s Nick Dumke in fourth with 25-3. Georgia’s Dylan Jarvis and Wisconsin’s Harmon Marien are tied for fifth with 25-1. 

Corey Bohlmann of Le Roy, Ill., landed the Big Bass of the Day, an 8-3 largemouth that has him sitting in 63rd place. 

Gabriel Fabbri of Bruce, Wis., leads the nonboater standings with a three-bass limit weighing 11-10. He is followed by fellow Wisconsin angler Kacey Meyer in second with 10-13 and Georgia’s John Doolittle in third with 10-3. Mississippi’s David Wheat caught a 4-13, the Big Bass of the Day.

The full field of 155 boats will launch from McFarland Park beginning at 7 a.m. CT and return for weigh-in starting at 3 p.m. The Top 20 boaters and nonboaters after Day 2 will advance to Championship Friday. Weigh-in will be available to watch live on Bassmaster.com.
