** UNDERWATER Bass Fishing ** Spring Fishing Tips and Spawning Bass!

Come underwater and watch bass behavior for yourself! Forget what you think you know and watch what's actually happening below the surface! From how fish interact with lures, to what triggers a bite, there is so much to gain from studying underwater footage. 

Today's underwater footage is geared toward the spawn. Some of these fish were actively defending spawning areas while others were just aggressively feeding on camera. Notice the different lures and colors, but pay special attention to what movements trigger each fish to bite. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the video. We've included the exact sizes and colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Underwater Footage Of Bass Attacking Lures! ( Crystal Clear Water! )

Come underwater and watch how bass interact with your lures! From what triggers a bite, to when you should set the hook, there is so much to be learned by looking below the surface. Some of these fish are stalking their prey, others are defensive, and others are reacting to movement. Its amazing what we can learn!

In today's footage Tim is interacting with bass in different phases with different presentations. Between a Texas Rig, a jig, and a ned rig, its interesting to see how the bites can vary. Some fish inhale the bait while others nip at it repeatedly. At the end of the day the question is, when would you have set the hook? Would you have caught the fish or reeled up a torn up trailer? 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used in the footage. We've also included some great combos for fishing these presentations. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Chatterbait Fishing – Everything You Need To Know! (UNDERWATER FOOTAGE)

If you're a serious angler, you need to fish a chatterbait! These bladed jigs catch a ton of fish, and they catch giant bass too! By changing trailers you get get a chatterbait to mimic shad, panfish, crawfish, and a variety of other prey species. You can keep it simple, or follow us down the rabbit hole as we explore chatterbait trailers, colors, retrieves, study underwater footage, and more. Let's go! 

The chatterbait is incredibly versatile once you learn to adapt your trailers and retrieves. We use 4 main trailers paired to 4 different chatterbaits to meet every situation we face. The chatterbait can remain a simple option in your arsenal, or you can start adapting retrieves from a high speed burn, to a popping retrieve, to a bottom hopping presentation, to take it to a whole different level! Its up to you, but either way you need to commit to the chatterbait this Spring.

How To Choose The Right Swimbait! (Underwater Swimbait Footage)

Come underwater and watch how different swimbaits move in the water! Paddle tails, wedge tails, and glide baits, are all fish catchers in cold water, but not on every lake. Here are the details you need to know so you choose the right baits for your fishing. 

We spend the majority of our time in Winter talking about Wedge tail swimbaits. This style of bait is the most effective in the majority of situations... but that's just the surface of the subject.
