Ain’t Over Til It’s Over

Whitewater Fishing’s new Wool Fingerless Glove and Knit Logo Beanie poised to handle any spring weather surprises.

Generally, anglers do not like fishing in the rain. Can you blame them? It’s uncomfortable, sometimes cold, and not the best of conditions. Or is it? A bass doesn’t care. They’re not getting any wetter! And a good soaking rain can trigger largemouth bass, and smallmouths to a lesser extent, to a heightened level of activity that results in great fishing. So, you’d better suck it up buttercup, break out the Whitewater rain gear and assume a mindset to take advantage of it.

Experienced river walleye anglers rely on numerous presentations as the mood of spring walleyes changes daily, if not hourly. Any springtime river walleye angler should be prepared to be versatile and run through a lot of baits/rigs, ultimately letting the fish reveal what they want.

In the world of bass fishing, whether fishing around a small farm pond or a professional angler competing at a high level, when struggles happen, sometimes we need to instruct like a coach, explaining to stick to the fundamentals.

According to Whitewater pro-staffer and recent 2023 Bassmaster Classic 7th place finisher, Jay Przekurat, tournament practice days were "absolutely brutal" with sub-zero temps, wind gusts over 30 mph, and potentially bone-piercing rain. Despite foul weather, Jay launched his Nitro every morning and battled Mother Nature in search of a river pattern that would guarantee a top-10 finish during the critical hours of bass fishing's Super Bowl.
