    Brief Description

    Score big this spring on Smith Lake with my game plan on how to best capitalize on the changing conditions and spring storms. This tip is exactly how and where I am guiding clients now and I also include patterns for when the water level and water temperatures rise in April and May to run this same deal. Smith Lake fishing is great right now and my tip is a super fun way to fish because you can pattern these strategies all over Smith Lake and the bass are very aggressive feeders on this pattern. Forward facing sonar can help but it’s not necessary. I'm going to show you how to find the best places to fish and explain why this type of Smith Lake fishing spots are so consistent. The tip also includes a great Smith Lake Fishing Report with generals on what's going on right now.

    Frequently asked questions

    FishTips is a fishing information platform built to maximize the success of your fishing trips! Connect directly with dialed-in digital fishing guides for hyper-current digital guiding, training, & fishing reports!

    FishTips began with fishing guides and top tournament anglers posting tips that were detailed game plans on exactly how they would guide someone. Guides take anglers to fishing spots on every trip, so creating a digital version of a guide trip on FishTips was a natural way for guides to guide, train, and educate even more anglers online. Perhaps their boat broke down, had a bad weather day, or it was the offseason, the FishTips platform attracted hundreds of digital fishing guides that wanted to provide their same high level of customer experience and deep knowledge of their fisheries in a digital format to help even more anglers! As we grew, we received feedback from both digital guides and customers for other types of informative fishing products to help anglers stay up to date on their fisheries or learn new places to fish. We are excited to now offer premium subscription channels for the latest fishing updates and hyper-current fishing reports. FishTips also has training videos for digital guides to share in-depth videos on exactly how they approach a fishery or how they break it down before they even get there.
