    Brief Description

    This tip is everything you need to know. I go super in depth into how to locate, approach, and catch trophy smallmouth on Kentucky Lake. I won the MLF Tackle Warehouse Invitational bass fishing tournament last week. This is how I caught the winning fish on Kentucky Lake the past few days! This pattern should hold up for April/May every year!

    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.

    Yes, you can view all of the digital guide trip tips, premium fishing reports updates, and training videos on Andrew Nordbye's FishTips profile here.

    Extremely basic and info literally everyone that fishes Lake of the Ozarks already knows. Not nearly worth the money for this one. If you have never been to the lake this might be helpful but if you’re looking for something new this tip is not for you.
