Pro Tips Weekly: Brent Ehrler

If you're using a suspending jerkbait, which is a great lure this time of year, you'll notice that a lot of bass will just follow your bait without hitting it. Sometimes I'll get 30 follows to every five bass I catch.

Deal: Free picture with Santa at Bass Pro Shops

Folks, here’s an awesome deal:

1. You get to go to Bass Pro and your lovely wives, girlfiends, or significant others will see this as a humanitarian mission.  That equals a Win.

2. Everyone wins when the kids are visiting Santa.  For the kids it’s like catching 5 pounders on topwater.

3. Bass Pro is offering a free 4 x 6 photo with Santa at their various locations through Dec 24th.   Be sure to pay attention to the ‘Bass Pass’ available at some locations to help avoid long lines.  (We saw it on their website and it looked like something to know.)
