Fishing After Spring Storms + GIANT Bonus Fish!!

Come along for an awesome day on the water! Tim is fishing after a big Spring storm and its really shaken things up. COLD Muddy water is running down all the creeks and the fish are adapting to the changing conditions. Watch as Tim breaks down the lake and starts catching nice fish quickly. 

Tim got into some really nice largemouth but the Striper stole the show!! You've got to love a GIANT bonus fish! You never know what you're going to catch so it pays to be prepared. The bulk of Tim's bass were in less than 6 feet of water, warming themselves after the cold snap. He also caught them around grass which acts like an anchor for the fish when conditions are changing. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment he used throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Top 5 Baits For April Bass Fishing!

April is the peak of Bass fishing season! There is no better time to get on the water and catch a bunch of fish! You can typically find fish in all 3 stages of the spawn and its not hard to catch them. If you've ever wanted to learn a new technique, this is the month to do it!

Bass can be caught on a mix of fast moving reaction baits and slow, bottom contact presentations. When it comes to reaction baits, we put a lot of emphasis on standing out from the crowd. We're using baits with flash, vibration, and sound to get the bass' attention. When it comes to soft baits, its all about a natural presentation. We find that baits with a some blue in them will often catch more fish than other colors.  

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt discussed in the video, including our favorite sizes and colors. We've also included some of the gear we use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
