About
My 2 and 3 day Bass Schools are conducted on the water, are custom tailored to the angler's experience, and are offered to Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced anglers. During my school, I teach a variety of bass fishing techniques including pitching, flipping, skipping docks/overhangs, drop shot, topwater (walk the dog), frogging, carolina rigging, vertical jigging, spinnerbaits and more. Not only will I teach you these techniques, I will teach when and where these techniques are most effective. I will cover seasonal bass movements/patterns and strategies/techniques that will allow you to quickly narrow down a tournament strategy. I'll also cover rigging (texas rig, jigs, tubes, wacky rig, etc.), basic knot tieing, and how to read and interpret marine electronics. This school is best for those who are serious about developing their skills and want to compete in bass tournaments. Fishing sessions are 8 hours each day and offered in 2 or 3 day packages
