Bass Fishing Tips: If you’re not getting bit on a drop shot, this episode will fix it. Josh Bertrand—one of the best drop-shot anglers in the sport and a full-time guide—breaks down exactly why most anglers miss bites or lose fish with this rig, and the simple adjustments that change everything.

We dig into his full system: line, leader, hooks, weights, and MaxScent baits; the right amount of movement (or no movement at all); when to power-shot with baitcasting gear; and how LiveScope changed finesse fishing forever. Whether you’re fishing for smallmouth up north or pressured largemouth out west, this episode gives you the blueprint for more bites and better hookups—straight from a pro who does it every day.

Guest: Josh Bertrand — Bassmaster Elite winner, U.S. Open Champion, and finesse specialist.

Bass Fishing Tips: Cold water is one of the toughest times of year to get bit — but it’s also when the biggest bass show up. In this solo breakdown, I’ll show you exactly how to turn slow, frustrating winter days into real trophy opportunities. These are the three cold-water fixes that actually work: how to find bass when most anglers are lost, how to cover water fast to locate a group, and how to slow down once you find them so you keep catching.

You’ll learn how to read creek channels, identify “deep water access” spots, and pick the right lures for the conditions — from bladed jigs and crankbaits to slow, big-profile jigs. Plus, I’ll cover the key timing windows that make the difference between a blank day and your best bite of the year.

If you’ve ever struggled to get bit once the water drops below 50, this episode gives you the system that keeps producing when nothing else does.

Bass fishing tips for when the lake gets hammered and nothing’s biting, Bass Pro Tour champion Jesse Wiggins leans on one thing: his forgotten shaky head. In this episode, Jesse breaks down the exact system that’s earned him nearly half a million dollars—why this rig still shines when forward-facing sonar, minnow baits, and drop-shots fall flat, plus the gear, retrieves, and subtle tweaks that keep him catching fish when others blank.

What you’ll learn: • Why the shaky head still catches fish on pressured lakes and cold fronts • Exact rod, reel, line, and head Jesse trusts for consistent hookups • The retrieve and cadence that make this rig deadly when others quit • Seasonal rules for docks, rocks, and blind spawners • Key adjustments—head angle, hook size, trailer length—that get bites in clear or stained water • Common mistakes anglers make with shaky heads and how to fix them
