On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we sit down with CJ Craft to break down the current state of Potomac River bass fishing, tidal bass fishing, and what it takes to catch quality tournament fish on one of the most pressured bass fisheries in the Mid-Atlantic. CJ recently finished tied for 2nd place in the Shenandoah Division BFL on the Potomac River with 15 pounds, 13 ounces, and he shares exactly how he approached a tough tidal river tournament where the bite window opened early and every key decision mattered.We talk in-depth about the challenges facing the Potomac River right now, including the lack of submerged grass, shrinking grass beds, heavy boat pressure, lower tournament weights, and why the river is “fishing smaller” than it has in past years. CJ explains how limited grass has pushed more anglers into the same community holes around areas like Belmont and Occoquan Bay, why grass fishing on the Potomac River has become more difficult, and how hard cover fishing has become a major factor in catching quality largemouth bass.CJ also breaks down his BFL fishing strategy, including how he practiced for the Shenandoah Division BFL, why he stayed close to takeoff, how low tide positioned his fish, and how he caught every bass he weighed before 8:00 AM. We dive into tidal bass fishing tips, understanding tide timing, fishing around pressure, making adjustments during tough conditions, and why overlooked water can be the key to catching bigger bass in Potomac River tournaments.In this episode, we also cover the Battle of the Border Series, Maryland vs. Virginia tournament fishing, local Potomac River team tournaments, and how CJ and Jeff Whitner adjusted from a hard cover pattern to a grass-oriented pattern in changing tidal conditions. CJ shares his thoughts on Potomac River spawning windows, spring bass fishing, chatterbait fishing, Thunder Cricket setups, fluorocarbon vs. braid, and how to target quality bass when the river is not producing the giant bags anglers are used to seeing.Toward the end of the show, we explore another unique Maryland tidal bass fishery: the Patuxent River. CJ introduces us to the Pax River Elite Series, fishing around Jug Bay and Jackson's Landing, and how the Patuxent River offers a completely different style of Maryland bass fishing with muddy water, current, laydowns, lily pads, hard cover, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, snakehead, stripers, and catfish. We also compare the Patuxent River to other tidal fisheries like the James River and Chickahominy River and discuss how fishing tight tidal creeks can help anglers become better tournament fishermen.If you want to learn more about Potomac River bass fishing, tidal river bass fishing, BFL tournament fishing, Maryland bass fishing, Patuxent River fishing, grass fishing, hard cover fishing, chatterbait fishing, low tide bass fishing, spring bass fishing, pressured tidal fisheries, and how to catch more bass in tough tournament conditions, this episode is packed with local knowledge, tournament insight, and real-world fishing experience from CJ Craft.CJ Craft on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cj.craft.451534 Pax River Elite Serious Invitationals:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/420654917404080/ Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcastIf you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.comLMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/ Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/ Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/ Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech Phone Number: (757) 566-1278 Email: lin@fishingprotech.us Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168Flint Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/43t8h5N Max4 Fishing: https://bit.ly/4unuiOs Support the show

June is one of the most exciting months to be on the water — but only if you know where to look. Bass are scattered across multiple depths and cover types all at the same time, and the anglers who stay flexible are the ones who load the boat. In this episode, we break down exactly where June bass are hiding, from shaded shallow cover like docks, laydowns, and grass lines to deeper structure like points, humps, ledges, and channel swings. We cover the best soft plastic baits and presentations for both worlds, when to slow down and pitch to tight cover, and when to move and cover water to find the pattern faster. Whether fish are still recovering from the spawn in the shallows or already pushing to their summer haunts, we've got the adjustments you need to stay on them all day long.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.Become a Patreon memebet now for less then a pack of worms you can support Bass Cast Radio as well as get each epsiode a day early & commercial free.

Richard delivers a masterclass in Southern storytelling — from brother Fred's midnight tractor rides and his collection of 50 antique machines with only 4 batteries, to the band's history-making leap from a Kentucky holler to Sweden Rock Festival (opening three slots before Queen) and sold-out UK arena runs alongside Blackstone Cherry. We also get into turkey hunting on the creek, a surprise bear sighting, and cousin Johnny's electric-bike stealth hunting strategy. After Richard heads off for tomato plants, Alex breaks down a monster spring turkey season — 29 gobblers called in across five states — plus a deep dive into Missouri's #2 national turkey harvest ranking.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Serious Angler Podcast, we sit down with YouTube standout Blake Miller from  ⁨@BDBassin⁩   to dive into his strategy for stepping outside the traditional tackle box, explaining how experimenting with unique, unconventional baits and color patterns can trigger strikes from highly pressured bass that ignore standard presentations. We also pull back the curtain on the business of fishing, discussing the grind of the content creator lifestyle, what it really takes to grow an audience, and actionable strategies to succeed and stand out in the crowded 2026 fishing media landscape.

In this episode of Fishing the DMV, we are joined by Chad Boyce from the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources for a deep dive into one of the most fascinating and historic bass fishery Back Bay in Virginia Beach, Virginia.With the 2026 Maxam Bassmaster Elite at Pasquotank River/Albemarle Sound coming up June 11–14 in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, this is the perfect time to look at nearby coastal bass fisheries and understand how shallow tidal rivers, coastal bays, grass flats, marsh systems, and brackish-water largemouth bass habitats can shape tournament strategy. The Bassmaster Elite Series event will take place on the Pasquotank River/Albemarle Sound, one of the most unique stops on the 2026 Bassmaster schedule. Chad breaks down the incredible history of Back Bay bass fishing, from its legendary years as one of Virginia's premier trophy largemouth bass destinations to the challenges that changed the fishery over time. We discuss the rise, decline, and ongoing rebound of Back Bay, including aquatic vegetation, water quality, salinity, habitat loss, stocking efforts, electrofishing surveys, and what the future may hold for this iconic Virginia Beach bass fishery.

Send us Fan MailYou can learn a lot about modern bass fishing by listening to what a touring pro worries about when things are going right. We've got Monster Athlete Tyler (TStew) Stewart back with us, fresh off a tournament at Douglas Lake, and we get into the real nuts and bolts of finding offshore schools when everyone has the same electronics, the same maps, and the same ideas.Tyler breaks down how he spends practice idling instead of casting, how he marks dozens of schools on points, ledges, and humps, and why “having fish” doesn't mean you'll have a place to fish once 150 boats hit the lake. We also go deep on one of the wildest tools in his box: the Ben Parker mag spoon. It's huge, it's heavy, and it still gets bites from fish smaller than the bait when those Tennessee River bass are keyed on big gizzard shad.From there we talk forward-facing sonar and LiveScope without the usual yelling. We're honest about how much it changes tournament fishing, why cut weights have climbed, and what happens when leagues limit sonar time to a short window. Tyler shares what good and bad timing looks like, how decision-making speed separates anglers, and why it can feel like the fish are getting more educated every season. We even detour into deer hunting plans for Kansas, ground blind realities down south, and how tech in general, from GPS to Facebook “research” to AI videos, can make all of us a little lazier than we want to admit.If you like competitive bass fishing, fishing electronics, and real talk about what's changing in the sport, hit subscribe, share this with a buddy, and leave us a review with your take: has technology made you better, or just more dependent?GUEST: https://www.monsterenergy.com/en-us/athletics/tyler-stewart/OUR WEBSITE/OTC MERCH: https://offtheclockwithbscott.comHAVOC GEAR SHOP: https://havocnation.comHAVOC BOATS WEBSITE: https://havocboats.comHAVOC DEALERS: https://havocboats.com/dealers/WREAKIN' HAVOC CREW WEBSITE: https://wreakinhavoccrew.comSOCIAL LINKSTruth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@OffTheClockwithBScottFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Off-The-Clock-With-B-Scott/61557737220814/Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/OTCwithBScottInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/offtheclockwithbscott/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwu6_wWcXDoBzhpHv4YgZGQRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-5644782Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2g76hRDp9d609LETevSH2U?si=0ba23ae282c94e88&nd=1&dlsi=d9f84d7699b84724Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-clock-with-b-scott/id1734265760Support the show

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Serious Angler Podcast, we sit down with Jason Henegar, Fisheries Division Chief for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), to discuss a growing crisis in our southern fisheries: the invasion of the Alabama Bass. Often illegally transplanted into new waters, these Alabama-strain spotted bass are wreaking havoc on native smallmouth bass populations through rapid hybridization.Jason breaks down the science behind this alarming trend, explaining how these hybrids (often called "meanmouths") are literally breeding purebred smallmouth out of existence in world-class waters across the Tennessee River system, including Fort Loudon-Tellico and Parksville Lake. We dive deep into what this means for the future of tournament bass fishing, the looming threat to legendary fisheries like Dale Hollow, and the drastic regulation changes the TWRA is implementing to manage the fallout.

Top Chef Season 23 Ep 10 Recap Top Chef Season 23 episode 10, “Lake Hartwell,” brings Haley Strong, Kurt Clark, and Chef Jim Smith together for a lively recap centered on fishing, Southern ingredients, and the mounting pressure of the competition. As the culinary field narrows, the trio dives into the joys and frustrations of this fish-forward episode, spotlighting both high-level cooking and relatable Midwest chores; shucking corn, catching bass, and dissecting dishwasher detergent fails. This week, the chefs return to a classic quickfire with a mise en place face-off, battling through rounds of grape-seeding, shrimp-peeling, and nut-cracking. The conversation traces strategic choices in the relay format and the unusual appearance of scuppernong grapes, with Jim providing Southern culinary context. The main challenge has contestants out on Lake Hartwell, fishing for their own catch under a ticking clock, then showcasing their fresh bass in refined dishes ranging from cantonese-style steamed fish to bold fish tacos. Discussions focus on the judges' reactions, the importance of simplicity, and the tension of a double elimination as favorites leave with no Last Chance Kitchen safety net. Rhoda wins her first quickfire with a well-balanced corn, pecan, and shrimp salad, anchoring the comeback narrative after last week's struggles. The fishing segment sparks debate about challenge design and the relatability—or drudgery—of catching your main ingredient. Sieger's subdued, minimalist approach to cooking and his uncertain trajectory are examined, along with his banter (or lack thereof) at judges' table. Jonathan's decision to play it “simple” with a fish taco is dissected, with credit for thoughtful testing and execution under the bonus time advantage. The group reflects on the bittersweet nature of double eliminations and missing the drama of Last Chance Kitchen as strong contenders exit for good. With only a handful of chefs left, who can master both technique and storytelling to impress the judges and avoid an unceremonious exit? Dive into this recap to get the full rundown on the dishes, the drama, and the strategies at play. 00:00 Welcome and Panel Reunites 06:41 Mise en Place Race Twist 13:10 Rhoda Wins Quickfire Challenge 22:41 Bass Fishing for Elimination 31:04 Danielle Brooks Joins for Judging 38:00 Rhoda's Classic French Triumph 47:27 Jonathan's Fish Taco Surprise 54:00 Duyen's Elimination Heartbreak Never miss a minute of Top Chef coverage!

Tyler shares stories about Luke Bryan's hunting habits, his Buck Commander ownership, and a classic 20-year-old memory of missing a turkey in front of Alex. Tim and Tyler also trade their best wild turkey recipes, from classic pan-fried to pickle-juice marinated strips. A true American roots conversation about faith, hunting, food, and friendship.Chapter Markers:Intro & Spring Turkey Season ReportCurrent Events: NFL, Local Sports & Cardinals TalkUpcoming Events: Whole Kids Outreach Benefit & Mae EstesSegment 2: Tim Harris – The Butcher Chef from KentuckyTim's Hunt at Alex's Camp – 3 Days in MissouriThe Permission Hunt: Elderly Lady's Farm & the Big GobblerSegment 3: Tyler Farr – Turkey Hunting & Buck CommanderTyler on Luke Bryan, Buck Commander & Tennessee HuntingSegment 4: Old Memories – Tyler's First Turkey Hunt with AlexWild Turkey Recipes: Fried, Smoked & Pickle Juice MethodShow Wrap-Up & Closing PrayerMissouri Hunting Heritage Federation:https://www.mhhf.us/To follow American Roots Outdoors Podcast:https://www.facebook.com/groups/448812356525413To learn more about American Roots Outdoors:https://americanrootsoutdoors.com/https://www.facebook.com/AmericanRootsOutdoors/To follow Alex Rutledge:https://www.facebook.com/americanrootsalex/To follow Wayne Lach:https://www.facebook.com/wayne.lach.5To follow Mike Crase:https://www.facebook.com/mike.crase
