Thursday, January 21, 2021
Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour angler Cliff Crochet announced that he s partnered with Whitetail Smokeless, a tobacco-free dip manufacturer based in Jefferson, Wisconsin, for the 2021 season.
Known as The Cajun Baby, Crochet will be competing in his 12th eason as a professional angler when the BPT kicks off at Sam Rayburn Reservoir in March.
We are excited to be working with Cliff in 2021, said Rob Kieckbusch, founder and CEO of Whitetail Smokeless. The MLF fan base aligns with the target customer we are trying to reach and being able to support a true professional like Cliff makes this partnership a no-brainer.
Chalk Talk: Thrift on underspins in clear water
Friday, January 22, 2021 (
Editor s note: The following is the latest installment in a series of fishing tips presented by
The Bass University. Check back each Friday for a new tip.)
When bass of any kind are suspended in clear water, North Carolina superstar Bryan Thrift is quick to reach for an underspin with a swimbait on the back. He likes the ones from Damiki, in both 1/4- and 3/8-ounce weights. He puts a 3-inch Damiki Armor Shad on the former and fishes it in 10 to 20 feet of water, and uses a 5-inch Armor Shad on the latter and uses it in the 15- to 35-foot range. He likes the Damiki underspin over the competition because it has a recessed head that allows it to be rigged super-straight, and also because it has a blade that is thinner and not as cupped as other models, which means itll still spin when you fish it exceptionally slowly.

One of the advantages of fishing muddy water in the wintertime is that you often have the lake to yourself.

My dad told me in a recent phone conversation that 2020 was the wettest year since the 1800s for North Carolina (I asked him if he remembered that year). A few months ago, we had 9 inches come down in just half a day. One town had 38 inches of rain! I have never seen so much water moving everywhere even ponds in the middle of the woods now have current.
