Drew Gregory, “ BasserDrew” to many, hails from Atlanta , GA , and currently resides in Greenwood , SC. He has been river fishing since he could handle a rod and reel, but for the past six years has been pioneering the sport of kayak fishing in freshwater rivers. Standing up and fishing out of his kayak for shoal, smallmouth and largemouth bass is his passion. He got into the sport of kayak fishing when he was still in college, because it was cheaper and more intriguing than traditional boat and lake fishing. Since then, his knowledge and passion for the sport has magnified. He is slightly addicted to finding new, unexplored water where big bass abound, and will stop at nothing to get to them which sometimes makes for some crazy adventures.
Drew has a long history of kayak fishing in rivers for bass. He has logged over 465 river trips in a kayak and is the current champion of the Flint River tournament stop on the GeorgiaKayakFishing.com tournament trail. He has presented river fishing seminars at various fishing expos, churches and upcoming at Bass Pro Shops retail stores. BasserDrew has been recognized in magazines that have featured his “controlled chaos” style of fishing out of a kayak, while standing up in moving water through rapids and obstacles! In a three month period in 2008 he was blessed to catch 60 river bass that weighed over 4lbs, including several in the 6-8lb range. If you need to learn about fishing in rivers for bass, Drew is definitely one of the guys that can help you become the river basser you aspire to be. He has a very helpful website called DrewGregory.com where you can read about all things river bassin’ and even watch videos of river bass action.
