4 Baits That Catch Fish When Bass Won't Bite!

Come along for a fun day on the water as Matt and his Dad go exploring! The fishing is TOUGH from the start and it doesn't take long to realize they'll have to adapt to the changing conditions. These are the days when you can learn the most as Matt pulls out all the stops to make sure they catch fish!

The guys went into the day expecting easy fishing and that isn't what they found! They had to cover dozens of areas on a cold, windy day to piece together a decent day. Pay close attention at the end as Matt breaks down the confidence baits he relies on to catch fish when "triggering" a bite is a requirement to catch fish.

This Topwater Trick Hooks For Fish! (And More Fall Fishing Tips)

Catch more fish this Fall with this one tip! It makes all the difference! Fall fishing is so much fun but there are so many subtle details that make the difference. Today Tim is on the water with his boys and he's teaching them the fine details of topwater fishing for Spotted Bass. There is a lot of great information flying by but one topwater tip in particular takes the cake, did you hear it?

This is such a great example of Fall junk fishing. Some bass are chasing baitfish in 70 feet of water, others are sitting on offshore structure, and still more are up shallow on docks. You can catch them almost any way you want, but taking the time to dial in multiple techniques is what changes a good day into a GREAT day! This is the time of year when attention to detail is everything so don't let your guard down and keep adjusting to changing conditions.

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