Topic 1: Magnum Ned Head - The Ned Rig technique has taken the bass fishing world by storm in recent years, tempting inactive fish with a lightweight finesse presentation. In JT Kenney's world, he still uses a short, stubby piece of plastic on the back of his Ned Head, but he's found that there are distinct circumstances where it pays to go heavier than the standard rig.

Topic 2: Tidal Water Strategies - Tidal water follows a predictable pattern of rising and falling throughout the day, but sometimes it leaves anglers not used to the changing fish behavior a little bit perplexed. JT Kenney has fished tidal water in his native Maryland, as well as in his adopted home state of Florida, among other places, and he's learned that tidal fish are a little different. If you understand how and why, it'll make them reliably catchable.
