Kevin VanDam needs no introduction. He’s done everything there is to be done in the world of professional bass fishing … multiple times.

I’ve shared a boat with VanDam several times, and I have been amazed at his uncanny ability to find and catch bass on lakes he either hasn’t fished for years or has never fished before. When I asked him about his gift, he shrugged his shoulders and said, “I just follow my Seasonal Guide. It works on any bass lake, anywhere in the country.”

Just what is this mysterious “Seasonal Guide” VanDam refers to? How is it different from the seasonal patterns bass anglers have long used to guide them to lures and locations?

VanDam agreed to explain his all-purpose approach to bass fishing in his own words to Bassmaster.com readers. We guarantee it’s a framework you can use to get on bass quickly all year long, regardless of where you’re fishing.
