Tennessee SPORTSMAN----August 2002Inch for inch and pound for pound, the gamest fish that swims can be pretty tough to catch when the mercury climbs into the stratosphere. Smallmouth guru Stephen Headrick has the asnwers.
Stephen Headrick is a big man with a big heart and a real knack for catching giant smallmouth bass.
Yes, he catches them during the pre-spawn --- when everyone is catching good fish --- but he also catches them in the dog days of summer, when other smallmouth anglers are struggling to find a bite. His tactics for taking brown bass during the heat of summer may surprise you and fly against conventional wisdom, but they'll also help you put a lot more quality smallmouths in your boat this summer. Headrick has been catching brown bass for longer than he can remember. Growing up in prime smallmouth territory and spending every available moment on the water, Headrick naturally tried virtually every tactic in the book to fool these fish. He's even written a few pages of that book in the process.
And, like any great angler, Headrick has taken what he's learned from others and built upon it. That's the basis behind his lure company, Punisher Jigs, and the methods that he uses to catch summer smallmouths. His methods borrow from the traditional but owe a great deal to Headrick's own innovations and insights.
