Fall Finesse Fishing For Big Spotted Bass!

Come along for a day on the water! We're building patterns and breaking down the lake while targeting big Spotted Bass! Tim is teaching his kids how to target Spotted Bass both around cover and offshore, and you have a unique opportunity to learn along with them!

These bass were primarily feeding in open water. Added flash goes a long way in that situation so the main bait today was a small underspin. Tim also successfully mixed in the Jerkbait (big fish of the day) and a unique spy bait with added flash. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys were using. 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. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt used and discussed in the video. We've included the rigging components as well as our favorite colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
