The EASIEST Trick For EARLY SPRING Bass Fishing!

RED and ORANGE catch BIG bass in the Spring! When water temperatures reach 50 degrees you should be reaching for a red bait to catch bigger bass! Whether your lake is crystal clear or chocolate milk, bass will attack red baits as they head into the pre-spawn. It can work with chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, lipless crankbaits, squarebill crankbaits, and more!

The biggest issue with throwing these crawfish–imitating baits is knowing exactly which color to throw. Some baits are neon orange, others are transparent red. So how do you know which ones to try? It all comes down to water color and conditions. Pay close attention as Tim explains how to use each color to your advantage and when to switch between them.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, colors, and sizes Tim discussed in the video. We've also included links to some of our favorite gear for fishing these different baits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each lure.

Fishing A Cypress Swamp With Unexpected Baits!

We didn't Expect Them To Eat These Baits In A Swamp! We're on the road again, exploring new lakes and finding new patterns. Come along for an awesome day of adapting and experimenting as we fish standing timber in the Deep South.

Bass fishing is all about adapting to conditions. When Matt launched the boat into a field of standing timber, he had no idea a cold snap was coming! As temperatures fell the bite collapsed, but that wouldn't stop him from catching fish! He began changing baits and tactics until he found fish suspending around trees in the middle of the lake!

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

Where Do Bass Go In Early Spring? ( Tips For Beginner And Advanced Anglers )

Spring is coming and bass are beginning to move! Listen closely as Tim explains how the bass transition on different types of lakes and when you should expect it to begin on your local fishery. We'll show you what the bass will do next, so you can get ahead of them and experience awesome fishing as we transition into the prespawn!

We all understand that bass are focused on feeding before the spawn. But how do you apply that to your fishing? Where should your first stop be the next time you hit the water? Obviously it's not going to be the same on a giant reservoir, a small pond, or a lake. In today's video Tim separates the different kinds of fisheries and explains what to expect in each one so you have the best shot at success.

Once you understand why the fish are moving and where they are heading you can predict their movements through changing conditions.
