  Ryan Lachniet: No More Bad Days Bass Fishing—The System For Consistency

  Aug 17, 20261h 8m

  Most anglers can have a great day. The harder skill is avoiding the days when nothing works. Ryan Lachniet breaks down the decision-making system he uses to catch bass consistently—how he chooses dependable water, avoids high-risk patterns, adjusts when fish won’t commit, and uses LiveScope to make better decisions instead of simply chasing dots. Ryan’s approach is surprisingly conservative for a young pro: find the best version of the safe option, secure dependable bites, then take calculated shots at bigger fish. He also explains why he’d often rather have LiveScope throughout practice than during the tournament itself. What you’ll learn: • How to find the “best of the safe options” instead of gambling on one winning spot • When to use LiveScope early and when to save it for bigger bites • Why forward-facing sonar may be more valuable in practice than tournament hours • How to tell whether a Scope pattern will still work when you turn the screen off • Why crowded community holes can be the smartest bailout when fishing gets tough • What to change when bass follow a lure but refuse to bite • Why Ryan changes baits before worrying about color • How to decide between pattern fishing and staying in the best area Guest: Ryan Lachniet — MLF Pro Circuit rookie with five straight top-25 finishes at the time of recording; second in Angler of the Year points.

  Bradley Hallman: Why Big Bass Won’t Eat Your Jig (The Little Brown Jig System)

  Aug 10, 20261h 10m

  Big bass often see a jig without ever committing to it. Bradley Hallman breaks down the Little Brown Jig system he refined over decades—the exact bait, tackle, casting targets, and patient retrieve that catch fish other anglers leave behind. This is more than simply downsizing a jig. Hallman explains how head design, weight, skirt density, line size, casting accuracy, and the final 30–60-second pause work together as one complete system. What you’ll learn: • Why 5/16 ounce is his primary choice in 7–8 feet of water and shallower • When to step up to a 7/16-ounce jig for deeper water or heavier line • Why he wants a ball head, 60-degree line tie, stout hook, and sparse skirt • His 6-foot-10 casting-rod setup and when to use 10-, 15-, or 20-pound fluorocarbon • How he pairs a brown jig with a green-pumpkin Zoom Speed Craw • Trailer-color changes for stained, dirty, and clear water • Where to cast around docks, shade lines, gravel, rock, brush, and channel swings • How “squatting” a jig for 30–60 seconds triggers the biggest fish to finally eat Guest: Bradley Hallman... Two-time tour winner; longtime national tour pro; flippin' and jig specialist.

  Cal Lane: Why You Can’t Get Bit on a Lake Full of Bass

  Aug 3, 20261h 4m

  Why can you be surrounded by bass and still struggle to get a bite? Cal Lane explains how rigid expectations about season, location, current, water level, and fishing pressure can keep anglers committed to a pattern that no longer exists. Recorded before his breakthrough Pro Circuit win at Lake Champlain, this conversation reveals the decision-making system behind Cal’s run of top finishes. Through real tournament examples, he explains how he determines whether to stay shallow, move offshore, trust LiveScope, fish current, or abandon the bite he expected. What you’ll learn: • How to recognize when you’re forcing the wrong bass pattern • When to leave visible fish, productive practice water, or a confidence spot • How cold fronts, floodwater, current, and pressure reposition bass • When to choose shallow power fishing over offshore electronics • How Cal uses ChatterBaits, swim jigs, buzzbaits, a 10XD, and an Alabama rig • Why persistence catches fish but stubbornness can ruin a trip • How to eliminate dead water without fishing randomly • What to trust when the bass stop doing what they “should” do Guest: Cal Lane — Pro Circuit winner and consistent top 10 finisher known for adapting between shallow power fishing and offshore techniques.

  Alton Jones Jr: Choosing the Right New LiveScope — LVS42HD vs LVS44

  Jul 27, 20261h 7m

  Which new LiveScope transducer should you buy—and could choosing the wrong one cost you bass? Alton Jones Jr. shares three days of on-water testing with the Garmin LVS42HD and LVS44, including where each transducer shines, what changes from the LVS34, and which model makes the most sense for most bass anglers. You’ll also learn how Alton uses Perspective Mode, screen size, gain and filtering, multiple-transducer setups, and the Garmin Spy Pole to see more fish and make more efficient casts. Then he breaks down the Free Rig system he uses when pressured bass ignore minnows, drop shots, jigs, and other common presentations. What you’ll learn: • Why the LVS44 is the better all-around choice for most bass anglers • Where the LVS42HD’s close-range detail and target separation matter most • How far each transducer can clearly show fish, bait, timber, and bottom cover • Why Perspective Mode helps identify fish and locate overlooked structure • Gain, ghost reject, noise reject, and screen-size adjustments that improve visibility • The best one-, two-, and three-transducer LiveScope configurations • How the Garmin Spy Pole improves boat and transducer control in wind and current • The Free Rig setup: 3/8-ounce weight, 17–20-pound line, total-slack fall, and alternate casting angles Guest: Alton Jones Jr. — Bass Pro Tour champion with more than $1.5 million in career earnings; one of the sport’s most accomplished forward-facing sonar anglers.

  Matt Stefan: Most Bass Lures Work. These Are Better in 2026.

  Jul 20, 20261h 15m

  A bass lure can still catch fish and no longer be the best option for the job. Tournament pro and Core Tackle co-founder Matt Stefan breaks down which proven baits still deserve a place in your boat, which techniques are losing ground to better alternatives, and the new baits and rigs pros are trying to keep quiet. We cover the rise of urchin-style baits, why movement and fall often matter more than lure shape, and Matt’s current buy, hold, or sell rating on Ned rigs, shaky heads, drop shots, tubes, Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, crankbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, bladed jigs, topwaters, and more. Matt also explains how he evaluates new techniques, why some old-school baits are making a comeback, and how Core Tackle designs specialized hooks and rigs to make existing presentations more efficient.
