Don’t miss May’s magic

Davy Hite

I have said many times before that as far as the chance to catch big bass across the Carolinas, March is probably the best month. But I’m just as sure that, overall, the best month to just go out and catch bass is May. […]

These three bass lures are top notch in March

Davy Hite

March is my favorite month to catch big bass in the Carolinas, because fish are stirring after largely shutting down for the winter, and they’re hungry, stoking up for the spawn and getting as big as they’ll ever be. […]

Time for another chapter

I have been fishing as a full-time professional for 23 years, and several weeks ago, as many of you might have heard, I decided it was time to bring that career to a close. […]

A great time to be on top – You can’t beat May for topwater bass action

Davy Hite

May is a great bass-fishing month around South Carolina, and it’s special to me because it’s one of my favorite times to fish a lot of topwater baits.
