4 Baits That Catch Fish When Bass Won't Bite!

Come along for a fun day on the water as Matt and his Dad go exploring! The fishing is TOUGH from the start and it doesn't take long to realize they'll have to adapt to the changing conditions. These are the days when you can learn the most as Matt pulls out all the stops to make sure they catch fish!

The guys went into the day expecting easy fishing and that isn't what they found! They had to cover dozens of areas on a cold, windy day to piece together a decent day. Pay close attention at the end as Matt breaks down the confidence baits he relies on to catch fish when "triggering" a bite is a requirement to catch fish.
