Podcasts about Bass fishing

Tired of the negativity surrounding bass fishing? Join us as we aim for positivity, announce the exciting return of the fan-favorite City Limits fishing show in 2026, and discuss the mission to get more kids fishing in non-traditional areas through initiatives like street fishing – all while hanging out at the bar and celebrating over 10 years of conversation! Welcome to Ike Live at the Bar! In this episode, join Mike, Becky, and Ethan for a fun and engaging conversation. We're dedicated to changing the narrative (particularly in tournament fishing) and focusing on positivity, as negativity has become so prevalent. Get ready for some exciting news! We're announcing the highly anticipated return of the fan-favorite City Limits fishing show in 2026. This show is all about the challenge and excitement of fishing in urban areas and finding success in unexpected places, regardless of the species or method – be it boat, kayak, bank fishing, or even wading. We'll be using social media to find real people to join us as guests. The show will be available on traditional TV and new digital platforms. A major topic this week is the concept of street fishing. We discuss its huge popularity in other countries where boats are not accessible and how we are working hard to bring street fishing to the US. This initiative is directly aimed at getting more kids fishing, particularly those in non-traditional urban environments who may not have access to expensive equipment like bass boats or forward-facing sonar. This aligns perfectly with the mission of The Ike Foundation to connect kids to the outdoors and conservation. Join us as we also touch on the recent Bassmaster Elite event win by Pat Schlapper (who won with 38lbs 12oz) on the difficult Sabine River, discuss the impact of forward-facing sonar and tournament rules, explore the pros and cons of social media in the fishing industry, and celebrate over 10 years of conversation on the Ike Live podcast. We also share updates on upcoming Ike Foundation events like the Celebrity ProAm (June 21st) and the Walk the Talk 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk on May 31st. This episode of Ike Live at the Bar is brought to you by our sponsors: Abu Garcia (check out the Ike Series 3.0 rods and reels)

On this Throwback Friday episode of Fishing the DMV, we revisit an impactful conversation with Jeff Kelble and John Odenkirk. Together, we dive into the challenges facing the Shenandoah River and explore the often-overlooked work that happens behind the scenes when a fishery begins to decline.Jeff Kelble brings a wealth of experience to the table. After guiding on the Shenandoah for over six years, he became the Shenandoah Riverkeeper in 2006 when he noticed the river's health deteriorating. In this role, Jeff built strong coalitions of river users, local businesses, government officials, and legal advocates. Through strategic litigation, regulatory reform, and community organizing, he played a key role in addressing dozens of complex pollution issues that once threatened public access and enjoyment of the river.Jeff's success in the Shenandoah led him to serve as President of the Potomac Riverkeeper Network, where he continued defending and restoring our Nation's rivers for another eight years. Today, he runs Ashby Gap Adventures, still deeply connected to the outdoors he works so hard to protect.As anglers, it's easy to focus solely on the catch—but it's just as important to recognize the people working behind the scenes to safeguard these waters for future generations.

In this episode of the Hunt Fish Travel Podcast, I am chatting with Landon Hintz, owner of Whiskey Rivers Fly Fishing. We dive into the world of smallmouth float fishing in Wisconsin and talk about what makes it so unique. Landon shares how using inflatable boats opens up access to rocky rivers that traditional boats just cannot navigate. We talk about the thrill of catching smallmouth bass, known for being athletic fighters and a ton of fun on the line. Landon explains how float fishing creates a more accessible and exciting experience, especially for beginners looking to get into bass fishing. Throughout the conversation, we touch on the migration patterns of smallmouth bass. In spring, they hang out in deeper, slower water, while in the summer they move into the shallows. Landon also shares some helpful tips on fly selection, suggesting bigger flies in the spring and topwater flies once summer rolls around. We also dig into fish growth and conservation. It takes years for a smallmouth bass to reach trophy size, making education around conservation practices incredibly important. This was such a fun conversation that really highlights how much joy you can find in chasing different species and why bass fishing should be on every angler's radar. 00:00 Introduction to Float Fishing and Smallmouth Bass 09:53 Techniques and Strategies for Bass Fishing 20:05 Understanding Bass Migration Patterns 30:23 Conclusion and Resources for Aspiring Anglers Links: Whiskey Rivers Fly Fishing Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers Subscribe to the show - and don't forget to leave a 5 star review!

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we return to the beautiful Upper James River with Upper James River local Dalton Karnes!The James River is Virginia's largest, and begins where the Cowpasture and Jackson Rivers meet in Botetourt County, carving its way through the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains before reaching Lynchburg. From there, it flows through Richmond and ultimately into the Chesapeake Bay.Today, we focus on the Non-tidal Upper James, a prime stretch for anglers from its mountain origins to the 14th Street bridge in Richmond. Known for its scenic beauty and fantastic fishing, this section is a hotspot for smallmouth bass action. We'll explore what makes the Upper James such a unique fishery, where the best fishing opportunities are, and why this river is a must-visit destination for smallmouth enthusiasts.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast Fishing the DMV now has a website: https://www.fishingthedmv.com/  If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com  River Road Jet Boats: https://www.facebook.com/RiverRoadJetBoats/ Please checkout our Patreon Sponsors Jake's bait & Tackle website:                                   http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/    Catoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRods   Tiger Crankbaits on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/tigercrankbaits Fishing the DMV Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Arensbassin/?ref=pages_you_manage Fishing the DMV Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_link   #bassfishing #fishingtheDMV #fishingtips Support the show

Is bass fishing truly thriving—or have we just forgotten what “healthy” looks like?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Steve Sammons, one of the most respected fisheries biologists in the game, to expose a hidden problem in the bass fishing world: shifting baseline syndrome.We unpack the uncomfortable truth about how anglers—without even realizing it—have accepted degraded fisheries, smaller populations, and less biodiversity as the “new normal.” From tournament pressure and habitat loss to management blind spots, this is a brutally honest look at the future of bass fishing if we don't start paying attention.
