Recorded from the boat on Lake Chickamauga, Bassmaster Elite Series pro Jacob Foutz breaks down why October is the toughest month of the year for bass fishing and how to catch them anyway.

Fall Bass Fishing Strategies That Actually Work
Season 1, Episode 635
Show notes
Fall bass fishing is here, and on this episode of the Serious Angler Bass Fishing Podcast, Bailey Eigbrett and Adam Deakin break down exactly how to catch bass in the fall. We cover the fall transition and the "reverse spawn," when bass move from summer offshore spots back toward shallow banks once water temps hit about 60 to 62 degrees. You'll learn where to find fall bass on main lake points, secondary points, channel swings, sharp contours and the backs of pockets.
We share two fall game plans. For windy, overcast days we throw A-rigs, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, underspins, big swimbaits, glide baits and topwater. For bluebird days we work standing grass, big jigs around docks and wood, jerkbaits and jigging spoons. We also cover when to downsize for threadfin shad on TVA lakes like Chickamauga, how cold fronts and moon windows affect the bite, and why you should graph grass before you fish it.

Masterclass on Bass Fishing the Summer to Fall Transition!
Season 1, Episode 632
Show notes
Most anglers idle right over the most consistent big-bass spots on the lake without ever knowing they're there. Full-time fishing guide Caleb Bell breaks down how to find springs — groundwater seeps that hold stable 55-65° water and giant bass year-round — and why they're the key to surviving the toughest transition of the year.
In this episode, Caleb covers:
- How to spot a spring using old Corps of Engineers maps and satellite imagery
- What a spring actually looks like on your graph (the "crater" and vegetation donut)
- Why springs hold giant stripers and largemouth all summer and winter
- How the summer-to-fall transition really works (and why rushing it costs you fish)
- Community holes, schooling fish, and why numbers matter more than big-bite grinding right now
- Steep banks vs flats and where to focus if you're fishing from shore
- His 6-bait arsenal for this transition: glidebait, Koiki, jig, buzzbait, fluke (with his skipping technique), blade baits, and mini A-rigs
- The biggest mistake anglers make this time of year — and how to reframe a slow day into a scouting win📌 Check out Serious Angler Network lifestyle and podcast apparel here: https://seriousanglernetwork.com/

Forward Facing Will Not Kill Fishing, But This Can
Season 1, Episode 629
Show notes
Ty Manarola joins the Serious Angler Bass Fishing Podcast to break down his first career tournament win, a 62.5 pound smallmouth bass total caught over three grueling days on the Columbia River, complete with a full gear and bait breakdown and the six-foot-wave grind that came with it. The episode also features an unfiltered rant on what's really holding competitive bass fishing back: not forward-facing sonar, but the toxic comment sections and online negativity scaring off non-endemic sponsors and stalling the sport's growth. Expect practical smallmouth bass fishing tips, tournament strategy, gear talk, and a candid take on fishing industry drama and why choosing positivity matters for the sport's future. This is bass fishing storytelling and commentary in one episode: a hard-earned win and a hard truth about the state of the community.

Where Do Bass Go When the Water Level Drops?
Season 1, Episode 628
Show notes
The Serious Angler Bass Fishing Podcast sits down with West Coast Super 60 standout Joe Mariani to break down the toughest transition in bass fishing: the late-summer drawdown on Northern California reservoirs like Clear Lake, Berryessa, and Don Pedro. Joe explains why largemouth push shallow into dying grass while spotted bass and smallmouth abandon the bank entirely, why big square bills and topwater still fool giants in low, clear water, and how to locate suspended fall bass using forward-facing sonar on main-lake structure. The conversation also covers Joe's switch from Nitro to Bass Cat boats, tournament strategy for the no-practice BAM Super 60 series, and mental game lessons from grinding out top-10 finishes. A must-listen for bass anglers dealing with fall drawdown conditions, tournament anglers chasing forward-facing sonar techniques, and fans of West Coast bass fishing.

This Mindset Helps You Catch More & Bigger Fish Everywhere
Season 1, Episode 625
Show notes
Matthew Brannon has cracked the code on catching big bass consistently across the country, and on this episode of the Serious Angler Podcast he breaks down exactly how. Matthew is a California angler who has put in serious time on big bass fisheries from coast to coast, and he shares the techniques that translate no matter where you're fishing, whether you're chasing giants or grinding out numbers.
We get into how his day job with the Coast Guard has shaped his understanding of marine electronics and fishing technology, and how that knowledge translates directly to finding and catching more bass. Matthew also breaks down his tournament mindset: instead of grinding numbers on milk runs, he covers as much water as fast as possible to put himself in front of as many big bites as he can.

Fish Biologist on 20 Years of Fixing America's Broken Lakes
Season 1, Episode 622
Show notes
Fisheries biologist David Beasley joins Bailey and Steve for a deep dive into what actually makes a lake healthy or unhealthy, unpacking sediment oxygen demand, harmful algal blooms, and why hydrilla and blue-green algae take over neglected water bodies. Beasley breaks down grass carp strategies, nutrient cycling, and the internal load problem lurking at the bottom of nearly every lake, from small farm ponds to giants like Lake Okeechobee. The conversation takes a hard turn into fisheries management history, challenging whether catch and release culture has actually helped or hurt bass populations across the country. If you care about lake health, bass fishing, and the science behind why some fisheries thrive while others struggle, this episode is packed with insight you won't hear anywhere else.
