Texas Rig Challenge! Matt Vs. Tim

20 minutes, Head to Head, Winner take all! The rules are easy... we each get one Texas Rig and 3 baits. Who is going to stick the biggest bass?? Its been a long Winter, let's have some fun! 

We get tons of requests to "just go fishing" in front of the camera. On our most recent trip we got on an awesome Texas Rig bite in flooded brush and thought it would be the perfect time to have some fun and show how we're fishing the baits. This isn't an edited video, there are no cuts to fish catches, its 20 minutes of pure head-to-head style fishing.

Huge SLAB Crappie On Every Cast!

If you love Crappie fishing, this is for you! Clearlake is known for GIANT SLABS and today they didn't disappoint! They bit everything we throw at them! We've included tips for crappie fishing as well as a handful of baits you need to try.

Crappie are incredibly picky eaters but once you've got them dialed in you can catch them for hours! We use small swimbaits, hair jigs, and perfectly balanced flies to elicit bites from stubborn panfish.
