People ask constantly what lures I throw and I can honestly say that E-Factor Lures is always tied on…… Spinnerbaits to finesse jigs to buzz baits. I couldn’t be any more blessed and thankful to have their support and even more grateful that EVERY client that I take will again be given the best to take home with them; compliments of E-Factor. Nothing better than putting a 10 year old boy on his first ever Smallmouth to boot!!

I just got back from a fantastic day on the Gasconade River. We spent the day fishing for Smallmouth Bass, and I have to say, it was some of the best fishing in Missouri I've experienced in a while. The water was clear, and the weather was perfect, which made for ideal conditions. Our clients had a blast reeling in Smallmouth after Smallmouth. Overall, it was a successful bass fishing day, and we can't wait to get back out on the water to see what else the Gasconade River has in store for us.
