Five parts. Fourteen chapters. Built like a textbook, written like a coach. No filler.
Chapters 1–3. The Three Modes (feeding, neutral, negative). The 15-minute rule. How to diagnose mood before you tie anything on.
Chapters 4–5. The Seven High-Percentage Spots. How to read structure. Why most anglers fish the wrong 80% of the lake.
Chapters 6–8. The five lures that cover 95% of situations. Color theory. The three knobs — speed, depth, cadence — and how to turn each one.
Chapters 9–10. The Cold Front Playbook. Wind, pressure, light, the variables that decide your day before you launch the boat.
Chapters 11–14. The 90-minute on-water decision tree. The Master Water-Temperature Chart. The Seasonal Cheat Sheet. Mike's year-round playbook.
The Seasonal Cheat Sheet. The Confidence Gear List (no affiliate fluff). The Sources page — every citation, every URL, every fact-check.
Most bass-fishing books are opinions in trench coats. The Bass Playbook is opinion plus citation, period.

Yes — Mike Gomez. I'm the founder, the writer, and the guy on the bank. I wrote the book in a third-person voice ("The Aura Angler") because it reads better that way, but it's all me. The tournament data, the named pros, the citations — all 100% real.
A PDF, formatted for screen reading or printing. Delivered instantly through Gumroad. Lifetime updates included — when 2026 tournament results land, the book updates and you get the new version free.
No. The book is a standalone product. The app and book reinforce each other but neither requires the other — they're sold separately for different price points and different use cases.
30 days. No forms. Email mike@baitiq.dev and we refund. If the book doesn't make you a measurably better bass angler within 30 days, you have not lost a dime.
