How To Find Fish On A New Lake! ( Bass Fishing Lake Mead With Adam Hinkle )

Adam Hinkle is pre fishing for a tournament on Lake Mead and he's taking you along for the ride! This enormous lake is a bass fishing paradise, but only after you find the fish. Watch how Adam breaks down water quickly, builds patterns, and catches fish.

It's no surprise (if you know Adam) that his first bait is a squarebill. Once he's identified a pattern he expands with a deeper diving bait, and a glide bait, all before he ever slows his presentation. Listen closely to the details he's outlining about the positioning of each fish and what that means for future bites.

Below you'll find links to the baits Adam was throwing, a few of his other confidence baits, as well as some great rod and reel combos for fishing these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Fall Bass Fishing! Plus Giant Striped Bass On Glide Baits!

Jump in the boat with Matt and Ryan for an INSANE day on the water! The guys are targeting a mix of species, beginning with Largemouth and ending with HUGE Striped bass! It’s going to be a wild day, catching fish on everything from finesse baits, to huge swimbaits. Let’s go!

We spend the majority of our time targeting bass, but when the stripers show up in Fall, we love to chase them too! These giant predators can be targeted with small baits on spinning tackle (like the minnow), or big offerings like paddle tail swimbaits and glide baits. Today is one of those days when they’re willing to eat it all!

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact colors, hook upgrades, as well as the rod and reel combos that landed these brutes.

Where Do Bass Go In The Fall? ( How They Position And How To Catch Them )

Fall Bass Fishing has arrived!! Here's what you need to know! Bass are schooling up and feeding on baitfish. If you're not catching them, you need to adapt right away because it's happening, and you're missing it! Regardless of the type of lake you're fishing, we're here to help. From where bass position in different types of fisheries, to the baits we use to catch them, we're about to lay it all out for you!

Fall is a peak time for bass fishing! Whether you like to fish shallow or deep, there are aggressive fish to be caught. We use different lures depending on the type of fishery, but the concept is always the same; find the baitfish, find the bass. Keep moving, keep searching, and keep your eyes peeled for signs of life in the water! If you can find the baitfish, active bass aren't far away.

Below is a breakdown of the gear we recommend using during these conditions. We've included rigging components where applicable and even included our favorite colors for each technique. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
