  • Best Bass Fishing Podcast

    BTL is the best bass fishing podcast whether you enjoy tournaments or just fun fishing. There is always some thing educational and entertaining for everyone. My favorite nugget from Uncle Frank is that bass see chartreuse as bright white!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 1436: THE LAKE HAVASU FORMULA (CODY STECKEL)
Q: Did you expect to win the event on the final day?
I thought I needed at least 17 pounds to have a real shot, and when I saw the opportunity in that final fish, I went back for it and trusted my plan.
Episode 1436: THE LAKE HAVASU FORMULA (CODY STECKEL)
Q: What was your approach on Lake Havasu for the final day?
I focused on one big stretch with fry guarders early in the event, then moved to a key south area and a precise, patient presentation to maximize bites, including a late switch to a small minnow rig when the bite slowed.
Episode 1435: SCOTT MARTIN (PLUS FISHIN CHAOS' THE FUTURE LIVESTREAM TOURNAMENT)
Q: What is your tournament plan for the next 12 months?
I'll continue to fish a few Toyota/Team events and some smaller team tournaments around the country, while exploring filming opportunities and saltwater events; long-term, major tours are unlikely for me.
Episode 1437: BREAKING THE RULES (DAY 4 WITH FRANK SCALISH #243
Q: What should a angler do first when things aren't lining up with the seasonal pattern?
Start with the easiest adjustments first, such as moving shallow to shallow-pattern areas, before scrapping everything; conditions and patterns can flip quickly, so simple shifts often unlock bites.
Episode 1437: BREAKING THE RULES (DAY 4 WITH FRANK SCALISH #243
Q: Let me ask you this, Frank. Do you think there are days when they're just not biting?
There are days when fish can be finicky or not bite in expected areas, but even on tough days there is usually some location or method that can yield bites with the right adjustments.
