Jet Boat Fail!! (Subtle Tricks For Pressured Bass)

Some days just don't go according to plan! When things go wrong, how you handle it is everything! Come along as Matt starts out catching mixed species, then adapts, changes lakes, changes boats, and sticks a bunch of really nice largemouth before dark!

We love to fish multi-species! From Musky to trout, from perch to panfish, if it pulls, we're interested in catching them! Today starts off slow but ends with a bang so don't bail out before the bass fishing gets hot! 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt was throwing throughout the day on both fisheries. We've included the exact baits, colors, and gear he used to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Finesse Reaction?! The Bass Fishing Trick You've Never Tried!

Reaction Baits come in finesse?? That's right!! When the bite gets tough, we fish finesse baits, but that doesn't mean slowing down! Come along as Matt fishes finesse swimbaits, jerkbaits, crankbaits, and topwater, for Summer bass that are chasing micro bait!

Turning to finesse presentations doesn't have to be boring. You can still "power fish" but with a much smaller offering. Pay close attention as Matt explains how these different bait profiles help him catch more fish, and under what conditions he throws them. From small flukes, to tiny topwater, there is a finesse presentation that will help you catch more fish as Summer comes to an end.
