Topic 1: Fishing on the Edges - The Dean's business partner, Mike Iaconelli, famously wrote a book called "Fishing on the Edge," and its significance lies in more than just Mike's lifestyle. Pete has seen again and again throughout his fishing career that bass are ambush feeders, relating to changes in cover or depth. Whether you're looking at points, flats, grass beds or any other cover or structure, understanding how to find and utilize edges will increase your success substantially.

Topic 2: Tail-Weighted Stickbaits - There's more than one way to rig a soft stickbait, and depending on how you weight it (if you weight it at all) it can glide into or away from cover, and fall at a more or less desirable weight. Increasingly the pros have found that a small bit of weight in the tail can be deadly when other rigs fail, and Pete Gluszek has refined his tail-weighted strategies to fit a wide range of conditions.
