Fishful Thinker principles: 1) fish for what’s biting. 2) fish to the conditions. 3) fish your confidence baits. This day is a perfect example…many laughs were shared while boating huge numbers of fish on what could easily have a very poor day of struggling to catch a walleye or two. #practicewhatipreach | Fishful Thinker

"Pitching" a lure is a skill set that any serious angler should master...it's extrememly accurate and controllable and offers reasonable distance as well. This slow-mo of a 90 foot pitch shows a few key things; 1) the rod position and stroke itself, which as you can see is actually a pendulum motion with almost no rod loading, 2) the use of "tracer" line, which allows the caster to easily see distance and accuracy, and 3) the ability to steer the lure in the air on its way by applying a tiny bit

Getting some reps with Forward Facing Sonar... Love it or hate it, FFS will teach you a ton about catching fish. Raw video: watch how curious these smallies are about my drop-shotted MaxScent Flat Worm, and how far up and down in the water column they'll follow it. Before FFS, we rarely even targetted fish suspended 20 feet down over 40 feet of water, but it's common place now. This was filmed back in October, but that same scenario played out all summer long. #ffs #dropshot #smallmouthbass #tbt

Reality...34 minutes of actual fishing time (5:04-5:38pm) including eight fish of three species…reduced to about 7.5 minutes of video... Berkley Fishing's hard bait development manager, Dan Spengler is one of our favorite anglers to talk, film and fish with. The new Money Badger crankbait is his baby and we know first hand why; smallmouth, largemouth, walleye, pike, crappie, white bass or trout...Money Badger just don't care! | Fishful Thinker

Raw video, fun catch... A couple of key points: 1) Dams are always good places to fish, even old submerged dams. 2) Many lures have better action on light line. In this case, it's a Flicker Shad on 8# X9 braid tipped with a 6# 100% Fluorocarbon leader, fished on a medium light powered, moderate action Winch spinning rod. 3) Focussing on proven multi-species lures and fishing locations is the fastest way to get some fish caught, especially on places you haven't been to in a long time. A high perc

We got walleye fishing advice from locals the evening before...and then completely wrote it off and did what we'd do anywhere else; follow map reading basics, break down the aquatic veg quickly, then make rigging details and bait selection fit the scenario. In this case, it was the first spot we stopped at on a lake I'd never been to and Dan had crappie fished once. We were targeting walleyes and completely disregarding the advice we'd been given by locals provced to be our best plan. Why? Becau
