TacticalBassin On The Great Lakes!

We headed North before the big freeze set in. Water temps were frigid, conditions were miserable, but the fishing was fantastic! We had 8 days to fish and only 2 of them were even calm enough to film. Despite the weather the trip was epic! 

No lecturing in this video, just an awesome time sticking Smallmouth, Largemouth, and Pike on a handful of Northern Michigan's best fisheries!

The Float N Fly Just Got Easier! | Winter Bass Fishing

If you've ever wanted to fish the Float 'n' Fly you've got to try this new method! you're no longer limited to a set length, nor do you need the long rod! We have the utmost respect for our predecessors but this method has changed the way Float N Fly fishing is done and it will work for you too!

If you've never fished the float n fly the concept is very simple. You suspend a fly (much like a crappie jig) below a float (bobber) and wait for a big, wary bass to bite. It sounds too easy to be true but this method has been catching giant bass for decades! 

If you've never fished the rig, now is the time. The method we use is simple and lets you fish the fly effectively without all the crazy equipment. Now you can use this finesse technique with your regular drop shot rod. 

Here is the gear...

TacticalBassin Put To The Test In The Midwest!

Brutal Rain, Cold, and Wind settled in over Michigan but the guys from TacticalBassin still found active fish. Come along for a Wet and Windy trip! You might just see them catch a few on Topwater when its 40 degrees outside!

The plan was to spend some time on the Crystal Clear waters of Northern Michigan catching Smallmouth and shooting video with a handful of great anglers. The reality was a storm that reached from Northern Canada all the way to Florida and seemed to be centered perfectly over Michigan. Day after day the rains continued to pour until we couldn't stand it anymore and had to get out on the water!

You'd have expected a slow bite but that wasn't the case. While it was difficult to film it wasn't difficult to get bit. From swimbaits to Topwater, those Smallmouth and Largemouth bass were feeding up before Winter arrived!
