    Reel in the Latest Bass Fishing Highlights Across the U.S.
    2025/11/20
    Hey fellow anglers, Artificial Lure here, back with your can’t-miss weekly roundup on what’s hot and happening in the world of bass fishing in the United States. Whether you toss poppers on the fly or chunk swimbaits from the deck, this week’s news is as fresh as a livewell at sunrise.

    Let’s talk recent big catches. At Lake Hamilton, Arkansas, the HLSS Bass Team Event is just wrapping up and stories are already coming in about some chunky largemouths showing up in weigh-ins. If you’re hungry for big-bass drama, check out what went down at the 2025 Big Bass Shootout—Wade Miley and Matt Lee took the honors with a top fish of 7.14 pounds, a true toad that’s got folks buzzing and dreaming of their own PBs. Meanwhile over at Falls Lake, North Carolina, Andrew Steagall and Daniel Dix dropped a sack weighing 27.74 pounds with their biggest at 7.27 pounds—these are the kind of tournament days we all dream about.

    For the fly-fishing bassheads, western waters are on fire. Clear Lake, California, is getting a big shout from West Coast guides, with anglers hauling in quality largemouth on both classic and experimental patterns, including spreading word about killer topwater sessions at Lake Casitas—multiple 50-bass days being reported. According to local guide Rich Tauber, Lake Cachuma is also absolutely putting out for those willing to try new finesse and shallow-water presentations. If you’re itching to put the bend in a 7-weight, now’s the time to head west.

    Down in Texas, the latest records from the state parks folks show Ed Harper with a recent 3.57-pound white bass at Possum Kingdom, caught on January 25, 2025—a great sign as the season cools and fish start feeding up. Guides on Lake Dunlap are saying the early winter finesse worm bite for largemouths in 10-15 feet is producing reliable action if you prefer a southern swing.

    You want hot spots? Lake Guntersville, Alabama, is gearing up for Bass Pro Shops REDCREST 2025, with the nation’s top pros descending on this legendary water. And come January 30, the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour will be kicking off its 2025 season at Lake Conroe, Texas. Both lakes are primed for fast action and thick Florida-strain bass, and tournament pressure always means new tactics will be uncovered—an ideal time for fly fishers everywhere to scoop up new techniques.

    There’s news off the water, too. Starting in 2025, Major League Fishing is limiting the number of high-tech sonar units per boat in tournaments, trying to put more emphasis back on skill and reading the water instead of just reading screens. That’s good for everyone, especially those of us who like to keep things hands-on and sight-based, whether you’re wading a stream or piloting a bass boat.

    Out in the Arizona desert, the Arizona Game and Fish Department just proposed unlimited striped bass bag limits at Lake Mead and Lake Mohave for 2026, noting studies that say catch rates won’t hurt populations due to the fish’s prolific nature and reliance on food supply—so if you’re into stripers on the fly, that’s a wide-open invitation to load up.

    As temps drop, fall into winter can actually turn up some amazing fish. On the East Coast, especially around Baltimore Harbor and the Potomac, striped bass are staying active for folks slinging soft plastics and paddletails, proving you don’t have to give up kettles and flies just because the mercury’s falling.

    Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure, your locals-only guide, bringing the best of the U.S. bass scene to your ears. Swing by next week for more action, tall tales, and tips—for Quiet Please Productions, check out Quiet Please dot AI. Tight lines, and remember: wherever you fish, keep it fun, keep it fresh, and keep coming back for the latest fishing gossip!

  • Reel in Massive Catches: The Latest Bass Fishing Hotspots Across America

    Reel in Massive Catches: The Latest Bass Fishing Hotspots Across America
    2025/11/19
    Artificial Lure here, dropping anchor with the latest scoop on bass fishing around the U.S.—and trust me, there’s plenty of heavy hitters, red-hot waters, and behind-the-scenes talk to keep your reels spinning.

    First off, let’s talk notable catches because the last few weeks have been packed with bucketmouths turning heads. Down in Virginia, Luke Nichols walked away with a sack weighing big at the season opener on Smith Mountain Lake, his best five coming in at over 24 pounds, anchored by a hefty 7-pound, 11-ounce largemouth that nabbed him the Big Bass Boater award, according to Major League Fishing. Nichols credits his early-morning jig bite and some dialed-in swimbait work on prespawn staging areas. If you’re into chasing those prespawn tanks, his homemade jigs (with a nod to mentor Chris Dillow) are definitely worth a look.

    Switching over to North Carolina, Kerr Lake’s still producing. Marty Stone and Andy Greene just pulled down a win at a Carolina Anglers Team Trail event, boating five for just over 17 pounds, while Doug Stallings had the big fish of that derby with bass tipping the scales at 5.35 pounds, reports The Bass Cast. Word is, the pattern’s been about reading the shad movements on windblown points—if you’re a fly angler itching to adapt, you might want to experiment with larger streamers and shad patterns especially during low-light windows.

    Want a hot bite? The West has its own story this fall. While drought and invasive species get the headlines, the California Delta hasn’t lost its magic. WesternBass.com says the recent tournament circuit rerouted, but local anglers have been hammering them on topwater baits and punch rigs. Early mornings, flooded grass, and moving water—think big flies, poppers, and frog patterns for you adventurous fly folks.

    And don’t overlook the heartland: Kansas lakes like Pottawatomie No. 2 and Shawnee State Fishing Lake are both producing quality largemouths—not just quantity. The Kansas Department of Wildlife reports solid fish, especially on rock piers and any structure that’s breaking up the main basin. Fly anglers can have a field day here, especially when bass push baitfish shallow in the afternoon.

    Meanwhile, the big circuits have been wild. At the Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup on Caddo Lake, Team Fishing Clash powered by Keith Carson and Ron Nelson snagged a win with over 36 pounds on aggressive swimjig bites late in the day. The bite was so fierce in the final period, both pro and co-angler big bass weighed at nearly four pounds each, fueling that last-minute rally. Major League Fishing’s coverage caught all the high-speed flipping and wild topwater blowups—great inspiration for tying up some chunky streamer patterns if you want to get in on that action in your home waters.

    For the Texas diehards, Lake Conroe still boasts the state’s biggest largemouth on record at nearly 16 pounds. No new records this month, but anglers are reporting good action on secondary points—especially with the days cooling down, fly anglers are getting creative tossing articulated flies in deeper brush piles.

    From the southeast’s classics like Oconee, where Steve Dobbs won an American Fishing Tour event this past weekend, to New Jersey’s Monmouth County, where surfcasters (and the occasional fly diehard) are still tracking schools of bass making quick appearances along sandbars, November is showing that any style—spinning, baitcasting, or fly—has a shot at the fish of a lifetime if you’re in the right spot and thinking outside the box.

    That’ll wrap it for this session of bass fishing news! Thanks for tuning in with me, Artificial Lure, and remember to swing by next week for more of what’s biting across the country. This has been a Quiet Please production—learn more or reach out at Quiet Please Dot A I. Tight lines and see you next week!

  • Catch Monster Bass at These Top Hotspots Across the U.S.

    Catch Monster Bass at These Top Hotspots Across the U.S.
    2025/11/18
    Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your latest on the American bass fishing beat—a roundup of who’s catching monsters, where the hotspots are heating up, and what’s buzzing in the bass world right now.

    Let’s cast right into it with some jaw-dropping catches. If you were thinking about making a pilgrimage for big bass, Lake Okeechobee in Florida is still turning heads. Just this past week, Bassmaster reports that Division I pro Hudson clinched a win at the St. Croix Bassmaster Opens by picking apart the dirtier stretches of the famed Rim Canal using a combination of LiveScope and good old intuition. Even with tough bites and most folks struggling to catch much at all, Hudson’s strategy of targeting suspending largemouth with a spoon paid off. Okeechobee is still a place where patience and local knowledge turn hard days into tournament gold.

    For those with a flair for competition, the latest Major League Fishing Summit Cup on Caddo Lake, Louisiana, delivered intensity. Team B&W Trailer Hitches’ Nick LeBrun and Todd Faircloth secured the top spot in their elimination match, punching matted vegetation early and often. Ohio pro Cole Floyd wowed with a solo effort—he even landed the Berkley Big Bass of the Day on a frog, tipping the scales at nearly 6 pounds. Punching mats and tossing topwater frogs? Yes, please! These pros are proving that sometimes fly-tying creativity has its parallel when you finesse a presentation to suit the pattern.

    Now, if you’re looking to fish like the pros, but without the sponsorships, Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash is gearing up for its next run in Texas and Alabama soon. Their hourly format means even weekend anglers have a shot for big money with a single lunker. And don’t write off the Carolinas: the Carolina Anglers Team Trail continues to attract some of the most competitive amateur bassin’ around, with payouts and camaraderie blending for a locals-only feel that’s tough to beat.

    It’s not just southern waters with all the action. Up north, recent reports from the Ohio Insider celebrate George Bruggeman for shattering a long-standing state striper record with a 37-pound behemoth from Kiser Lake. While not a largemouth, this story proves heavyweight bass and their kin are lurking everywhere—sometimes in smaller, pressured lakes where a sneaky fly or small swimbait can make all the difference.

    Hotspots for the latest fall and early winter bites? Here’s where to set your sights:
    - Lake Okeechobee, Florida: Still producing if you’re savvy with electronics and can grind it out.
    - Caddo Lake, Louisiana: Mats and shallow cover are key—think weedless presentations and patience.
    - Lake Fork, Texas and Lake Guntersville, Alabama: Both featured in upcoming Big Bass Splash events for a reason—consistent big fish action and lots of structure for bass to ambush prey.
    - The Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay tributaries in Maryland: While more known for rockfish (stripers), anglers are reporting furious action on surface lures and live bait with bass feeding around transition zones and bait balls. Anyone with a light rod and streamer box, this is a playground for crafty approaches.

    As we head into winter, don’t forget—according to The Bass Cast, most bites are coming on calmer, stable weather days. Shallow transition zones, steep drops, bluff walls, and man-made features like bridges and docks are holding most of the fish. Slow things down with softer plastics or downsized jigs, especially when the weather is nasty. If you’ve got your own fly rod, throw some big feathered streamers or crayfish patterns near heavy cover—big winter bass are lazy but opportunistic.

    That’s all from me, Artificial Lure, for this week’s wrap on what’s hot and what’s breaking beneath the surface in U.S. bass fishing. Thanks for tuning in—swing by next week for more lunker tales, local secrets, and all things finned and fantastic. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out QuietPlease dot AI.

  • Reel in the Biggest Bites: Artificial Lure's Insider Scoop on the Sizzling U.S. Bass Fishing Action

    Reel in the Biggest Bites: Artificial Lure's Insider Scoop on the Sizzling U.S. Bass Fishing Action
    2025/11/17
    Artificial Lure here, your bassy buddy for the juiciest U.S. bass fishing updates—so let’s kick things off with what’s been sizzling on the water this week.

    Right now, the Major League Fishing Summit Cup is lighting up Caddo Lake in Louisiana, running November 16th through 21st, and it’s got all the makings of a legend. The pros are dissecting these thick, spooky cypress groves to land monster bass. Fly anglers, don’t sleep on Caddo—those overlooked backwaters with tons of overhanging branches are perfect for floating a big terrestrial or streamer when the tournament crowds clear out. Major League Fishing coverage is already showing big fish weighed and plenty of thick action early in the tourney.

    Shifting gears, big news just came out of Iowa: a 15-year-old fishing fanatic just topped nearly nine pounds with a whopper largemouth caught from the bank on a small public lake, nearly breaking a state record that’s held for over four decades. Talk about a bragging-rights bass right there. Wired2Fish has all the wild details on that local legend, and it’s the kind of catch that keeps everybody casting, no matter the season.

    If you’re making winter fishing plans, keep your eyes on these hot lakes:

    – Lake Guntersville, Alabama, continues to cement its rep as a heavyweight factory. The latest big tournament proved it yet again: Matt Becker dropped a bag over 30 pounds on his first day, and 20-pound limits were rolling across the scales like clockwork. Local knowledge is still key, but visitors are smoking bass on everything from swim jigs to suspending jerkbaits. For those slinging flies, try big profile patterns early in the day before the topwater bite fades—those bass are hunting in the grass.

    – O.H. Ivie Lake and Lake Conroe, Texas, are always in the “must-go” conversation. O.H. Ivie’s always a trophy hunt, and Conroe is heating up ahead of a January tournament blowout. The weekenders are already getting into chunky bass mixed around deeper structure—word from FishCaddy is to mix up your retrieves with suspending streamers if you’re on the fly, as mild cold snaps pull bass up into ambush points.

    – California’s Contra Loma Reservoir is heating up for deep-structure anglers—FishCaddy reports bass are sticking to rocky cover, and weedless soft plastics are the ticket. If topwater is your fly thing, you’ll need to start way early, and be aware: there’s an algae bloom warning and some shoreline closures, but the risk takers are getting rewarded.

    – Don’t forget Lake Okeechobee in Florida, either. The final St. Croix Bassmaster Open just wrapped, and Caleb Hudson took the top spot by dialing into the Rim Canal, finding largemouth using forward-facing sonar in dirty water—proof that even tricky situations can produce serious bites if you lean into electronics and stealth. For fly fans, Okeechobee’s rim canals are classic territory for dragging big streamers under mats or even skating poppers when visibility stinks.

    For the fly-tossers, Texas lakes like Richland-Chambers are logging records for catfish, buffalo, and even gnarly carp on fly rods lately. That float-and-fly thing, or swinging a spey rod for surface chasers, is producing well as fish fatten up ahead of the winter cooldown.

    Up north in Minnesota, the late-fall bite on Big Bass Lake is moving off the banks and into deeper holding zones, as cooling water stacks bass up in tighter schools. Locals are smashing them with downsized streamers and micro-jig flies.

    And a quick nod to those grassroots heroes around Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri—local guides and anglers are still whacking solid fish on a mix of crankbaits, wacky worms, and topwater, even with water temps dropping. The wacky rig, as always, is a go-to for getting bites when things slow down.

    Thanks for tuning in to this week’s bass buzz—I’m Artificial Lure, and you’ve just been hooked up with the freshest, fishiest scoop in the country. Swing by next week for more big catches, new hot spots, and inside info you won’t want to miss. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out Quiet Please Dot AI.

  • 5 Hot Spots for Monster Bass Across the U.S. Right Now

    5 Hot Spots for Monster Bass Across the U.S. Right Now
    2025/11/16
    Hey y’all, Artificial Lure here, bringing you the lowdown on what’s hot in the world of bass fishing across the U.S. right now. Whether you’re a die-hard largemouth junkie or just want an excuse to dust off your 7-weight, there’s some fishy news you’ve gotta hear.

    Let’s start with the must-watch action: The Major League Fishing Summit Cup is kicking off right now in Louisiana, running November 16th through 21st. Expect the pros to pick apart Caddo Lake, a legendary spot known for monster bass, thick cypress groves, and, frankly, the kind of spooky backwater scenes fly anglers dream about at night. If you like to see how the best break down pressured water, this is the tourney you can’t miss, whether you’re throwing frogs or clown bugs. Major League Fishing’s own coverage is loaded with early highlights already.

    And speaking of monster catches, holy moly did Lake Guntersville turn heads last week. Nathan Brewer, in the Toyota Series opener, slammed a 28-pound, 5-ounce bag made entirely of smallmouth—yes, smallies, not the usual largie sacks Guntersville is famous for. The kicker was a 6-pound, 11-ounce brute, and get this: he did it in just 20 casts below the dam. That’s not just luck; that’s knowing where and when to hit—fly anglers, take note, as dam tailwaters hold more gold than folks give credit for, especially when flows are right according to Major League Fishing.

    Feeling that West Coast vibe instead? California’s Contra Loma has been giving up solid bass hugging deep structure and hanging tight to rocky cover, as reported by FishCaddy. The hot trick is slow-rolling weedless soft plastics on the bottom, but if you’re committed to topwater or even a surface popper on the fly, get out early. Just be warned: construction is impacting shoreline access on the west side, and there’s a darn algae advisory going strong, so plan accordingly.

    No recent bass roundup would be complete without a nod to Texas. O.H. Ivie Lake is legend status since producing the record-breaking largemouth in 2023, and the action there is staying spicy. Over on Lake Conroe, Major League Fishing is headed for a blowout tournament in January, but the early goings already have weekenders landing toads in the pre-winter bite. Word from FishCaddy is that fishing around structure in mild cold snaps can surprise you with some tank bass, especially on suspending streamers or Clousers.

    Now, for you fly folks and multi-species hounds: don’t sleep on the bonus species. Several Texas lakes, like Richland-Chambers, are logging records (catfish, buffalo, even some bruiser carp) on the fly and light tackle lately, and the state’s online database shows a slew of folks setting marks using float-and-fly rigs and even spey rods for surface chasers. With water temps cooling, daylight shortening, and fish fattening up, prime windows are wide open.

    Down south, Lake Okeechobee just saw the St. Croix Bassmaster Opens final fired up. Caleb Hudson took the win by keying in on the Rim Canal, targeting largemouths lurking just beneath the surface in dirty water using forward-facing sonar to spot and tempt them into eating. Meanwhile, a lot of the action was classic “feast or famine,” but every top angler found ways to coax quality bites when conditions got tricky. Bassmaster has all the complete stats.

    Want to chase something new? Up in Minnesota, Big Bass Lake is still giving up solid numbers of largemouth with water cooling off, and the late-fall bite is moving into deeper holding zones. Reports from Fishbox suggest downsized streamers, jig flies, and suspending soft plastics are triggering strikes from big, wary fish.

    That’s the roundup—I’m Artificial Lure, and you’ve just caught the latest United States bass fishing scoop. Thanks for tuning in, folks! Be sure to swing by next week for fresh news, big catches, and straight-up fish talk. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, head to QuietPlease Dot AI. Tight lines until next time!

  • Reel in the Biggest Catches: November's Bass Fishing Hotspots Revealed

    Reel in the Biggest Catches: November's Bass Fishing Hotspots Revealed
    2025/11/15
    Hey bass junkies, Artificial Lure here with the latest scoop from the bass lakes and creeks all across the United States—trout chasers and fly folks, get ready to see why largemouth and smallmouth fever just won’t quit this November!

    First up, let’s talk about some monster catches. There was major buzz out of Toledo Bend, Texas, where Cody Pitt shattered the Major League Fishing record books with a whopping single-day bag: 39 pounds, 15 ounces, anchored by a 13-pound, 6-ounce largemouth—the biggest ever weighed in BFL competition. Just imagine that beast bending your fly rod. Pitt said he pulled his 13-pounder out of the depths on a football jig, and the fish barely cleared the water on the jump—just pure Texas magic.

    Speaking of the Lone Star State, Lake Conroe is the hot spot for pros AND weekend warriors as Major League Fishing’s 2025 Bass Pro Tour fires up in late January. That’s where the top bass pros will be going head-to-head. For those chasing records, don’t forget, Lake Conroe boasts largemouths hitting nearly 16 pounds in years past. If you want a locals-only tip, throw early and deep while the water is cool—those big fish are down there waiting for something special.

    For my folks up North and Midwest, you’ll want to keep an eye on Berlin Lake in Ohio. Local news say the bass are bigger and meaner this season—lots of anglers hauling in heavy limits, and smallmouths are getting up there in numbers and size. Tactics are changing too; many are swinging big swimbaits and jerkbaits, but the fly anglers are finding success with larger, weighted streamers near drop-offs.

    If you happen to be cruising through Tennessee or Kentucky, Dale Hollow Lake isn’t just legendary—it’s putting up those trophy smallmouths that old-timers only whisper about. This fall saw some hefty bronzebacks coming off rocky points and deep grass lines. Word on the dock is, slowly stripping a flashy fly along those transition zones is producing heart-racing topwater eats at daybreak!

    For my East Coast bass-heads, Massachusetts may be famous for stripers, but ponds like Gould, Onota, and Big Sandy are sleeper picks for largemouth fans. State fish records haven’t moved in years, but local tackle shops report a run of above-average buckets showing up, especially in the morning hours as water temps settle into the low 60s—prime time for a streamer or popper on the fly.

    Now if you’re the competitive type, don’t sleep on the Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash tournaments. These are the largest hourly big bass events for amateurs, with recent winners pocketing thousands for just a single fish. You get the thrill and maybe bragging rights for your wall. Plus, it’s community vibes at the weigh-ins—definitely worth a trip for anyone wanting to feel like a pro for a weekend.

    Quick lake update for November? Across Texas’s Prairies & Lakes, the bite has been solid on spinnerbaits and vertical presentations in 10 to 30 feet. Stillhouse Lake is producing, and if you’re into mixed bags, this is the place for bass and catfish. Lake Chatuge in Georgia is still fishing well, with guides putting clients on steady spotted bass action and clear water for sight fishing—get those polarized glasses ready.

    Whether you’re throwing big rubber, flipping jigs, or swinging streamers and deer hair flies, it’s a killer time to be bass fishing in the USA. Keep an eye out for those new MLFTour stops in 2025, as three venues have NEVER been fished on the tour—new water always means fresh chances at a lunker.

    Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure for your weekly dose of fresh, fun, and big-bass-approved info—be sure to come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for even more cool content check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Tight lines, fish friends!

  • Headline: Reel In a Monster Bass: Hot Spots and Tactics for Big Fall Bites Across the U.S.

    Headline: Reel In a Monster Bass: Hot Spots and Tactics for Big Fall Bites Across the U.S.
    2025/11/14
    Artificial Lure here with this week’s dose of bass fishing buzz from across the good ol’ USA—because who wants stale fish stories when you can have headlines and inside scoop fresher than a bucket of live shad.

    Let’s start big—like six-figure big. Last week, Nick Hatfield racked up his first ever Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour win with 42 pounds, 12 ounces of beefy Smith Mountain Lake bass, pocketing a cool $100,000 plus an extra $10K for the week’s biggest fish. Now, get this: Jeff Sprague also landed a double-digit beauty in the same championship—a 6-pound, 2-ounce chunk that earned him his own hundred-grand bonus. If I were a betting bot, I’d say Smith Mountain just shot up your “must-fish” list, no matter if you pitch gear or sneak around with the long rod and a Clouser[Major League Fishing].

    If you’re daydreaming about your own monster, Sam Rayburn Reservoir down in Texas is locked and loaded for big winter action. Major League Fishing just fired up their 2025 Phoenix Bass Fishing League there, and local word is the bass are biting—just prepare to sort through the little fellas. Still, this time of year, it only takes a handful of right bites to stack a 27- or even 35-pound bag. The kicker? The grass bite is light this year, so look for scattered bass and be ready to work multiple patterns. If you’re a fly person, try skipping your big streamers around wood and docks when the sun’s high and warm[Major League Fishing].

    For you Northeast folks, the kettle ponds of Cape Cod are still pumping out catches before the winter lock. With river herring starting to get stranded, largemouth are moving in for the buffet—and when that happens, pros like Christian from Hyannis say it’s prime time for fly anglers looking for a fat brown or a bass cruising the shallows. Grab your deceivers and get strip-stripping—just mind the pickerel, they’re everywhere right now. The bite is expected to hang on as long as the weather stays dry and cold fronts hold off[On The Water].

    Out West, the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife tipped off anglers that Lake Ewauna and the Klamath River just revealed a sneaky population of chunky largemouth this fall, with catches up to 12 inches spotted during sampling. Access is solid at Miller Island and Veterans Park, and for the fly curious, find those sloughs and wood edges—tossing craw or leech patterns when water’s cool can bring surprisingly strong takes. Elsewhere in the region, the usual suspects are slowing down as water temps drop, but patient anglers are still finding bass holding at depth, especially near structures and off-channel areas[ODFW].

    What’s steering the bite this week? BassForecast’s latest 10-day outlook predicts early fall bite patterns lingering in the South and West, while the Midwest and Northeast see fair-to-good action in warm spells. Jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, and Ned rigs are on fire from Colorado to Ohio. If you’re a fly angler itching to try the latest “locals only” trick, keep an eye on umbrella rigs and suspending presentations since that’s where conventional pros are hammering fish right now. Match with your favorite neutrally buoyant streamer or game changer, strip slow, and see what happens[BassForecast].

    Before I get reeled in, here’s the hot take: This is prime time to chase a brag-worthy bass as fish fatten up before winter. Whether you’re dragging jigs, pitching Senkos, or swinging big feather bugs, the giants are out there and hungry—just don’t snooze or you’ll miss the bite window, especially when a warming trend rolls through before the next Arctic blast.

    Thanks for tuning in to this week’s drop from Artificial Lure. Come back next week for another cast at the latest action, and remember—this has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Tight lines, folks!

  • "Reel in the Latest Bass Fishing Hotspots and Pro Tournaments"

    "Reel in the Latest Bass Fishing Hotspots and Pro Tournaments"
    2025/11/13
    Hey, bass chasers—Artificial Lure here to serve up the freshest scoop for anyone itching to throw flies, jigs, or whatever gets the big one to bite. Across the U.S., bass fishing's got some spicy updates this week, so let’s dive in where the action’s turning heads and bending rods.

    First up, let’s talk **notable catches**. Down in Texas, Possum Kingdom’s still delivering with Ed Harper bagging a record white bass at 3.57 pounds and 18 inches just weeks ago. If you’re a numbers nerd or just want bragging rights next time you’re swapping stories at the bait shop, hit up the Texas Parks & Wildlife records and keep tabs on these new benchmarks. It’s a sign the fishing in the Lone Star State just keeps on giving—especially if you know where the hybrid striper and largemouth are stacking up right now.

    Not every trophy’s caught in a boat, though! Lake Hartwell, South Carolina, made a splash when local angler “Doodle” set a blue catfish record from a dock, with a whopping 53.5-pounder. Sure, it’s not a bass, but that kind of catch tells you how lively everything is in the southeast right now, and if the catfish are monsters, you can bet the bass aren’t far behind.

    If you’re looking for **hot spots**, you gotta keep an eye on tournament trails and recent action. The American Fishing Tour just wrapped up its National Championship on Lake Murray, SC, spotlighting both pros and weekend warriors mixing it up for fat sacks of bass—gotta love the competitive atmosphere and intel that comes along with these events. Over in Maryland, the lower Potomac and Patuxent rivers have got striped bass dialed in, and smallmouth are showing up at Deep Creek Lake. Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources reports that rocky points and steep shores are prime zones right now. If you’re fly fishing, punch those tubes and swimbaits up against current breaks; the smallies have been more than willing to play.

    Out west, some lakes in Georgia—like Carters and Sinclair—are shifting gears after the shad spawn wrapped, and big spotted bass are starting to pile up in deeper water. Local guides say that 20- to 45-foot depth is the sweet spot for picking off groups of spots. For those who love topwater, Lake Seminole stays a favorite for explosive strikes through the summer, and you bet they’re still cranking with the cooling temps.

    On the **competitive side**, Major League Fishing’s 2026 Bass Pro Tour just dropped a schedule guaranteed to stir things up, kicking off at Lake Guntersville in Alabama and hitting spots in Texas, Florida, and more. They’re upping the stakes this season with new venues—including dual-lake showdowns in Texas like Whitney and Waco, then O.H. Ivie. If you want pro-level action—or just killer live video content—these are the lakes you’ll want on your radar next spring.

    And hey, bass fishing isn’t just about the catch—it’s about keeping the sport going strong. The Bass Fishing Hall of Fame, with help from the Costa Compete + Conserve program, is backing several new projects to beef up conservation and access, including programs for military vets to get out and enjoy some kayak bass fishing. More support equals better access and fish health for everyone.

    Before I head back into the tackle box, quick tip for fly anglers: Fall’s sweet spot sees bass patrolling transition zones, hunting for baitfish and crayfish as they tuck in for winter. Sling those streamers or crayfish imitations near sunken wood, and you’re liable to get that heart-stopping take.
