Breaking Down A New Lake To Find And Catch Bass!

We're exploring a new lake, come along! New lakes are always an adventure, and today is no different. We started off with big baits and big expectations, but soon realized we'd need to adapt to succeed. Watch how Matt breaks down the water, develops multiple patterns, and catches fish.

By the end of the day Matt and his dad have developed 4 unique patterns that are all producing quality bites. Without question, the Shakey Head worm on outside cover is producing the best quality fish, but in the end Matt opts to move shallow and have fun targeting fish with bait finesse gear.

Below you'll find links to all the baits Matt and his dad used throughout the day. We've included the exact rod and reel combos, as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Jet Boat Fail!! (Subtle Tricks For Pressured Bass)

Some days just don't go according to plan! When things go wrong, how you handle it is everything! Come along as Matt starts out catching mixed species, then adapts, changes lakes, changes boats, and sticks a bunch of really nice largemouth before dark!

We love to fish multi-species! From Musky to trout, from perch to panfish, if it pulls, we're interested in catching them! Today starts off slow but ends with a bang so don't bail out before the bass fishing gets hot! 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt was throwing throughout the day on both fisheries. We've included the exact baits, colors, and gear he used to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Crazy Fishing Lures That Actually Work!!

Some baits catch fish, some just catch fisherman. The crazier the bait, the more you wonder about it.  Is that bait junk or is it something special? Today we're looking at some of those odd ball, goofy baits that actually catch fish! These designers were thinking outside the box when they built these lures and the gamble paid off. If you're tired of throwing the same old baits, this video is for you!

Its safe to say that we're all attracted to crazy looking lures. In years past most of us fell for the flying lure, the helicopter lure, and those crazy looking crankbaits with glowing red eyes. Most of the really off the wall baits turned out to be junk, but once in a while we'd stumble on a gem that actually caught fish. In today's fast-paced world there are more crazy lures than ever! So which ones are actually worth trying? Tim is about to show us his favorites!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video. The baits are listed in the order they appeared and all links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each bait. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each lure as well.

Finesse Underspin Swimbaits For Summer Bass!

Come along for an evening on the Tennessee River with Tim and Josiah. The guys are targeting schooling fish with a variety of baits before finally keying in on an underspin. Once they pick up the under spin, its like a light switch flipped and bass start coming into the boat right and left!

We all know the power of swimbaits, especially small swimbaits, when it comes to targeting schooling fish. But taking it a step further, an underspin with its increased flash and vibration, is amazing at drawing bass' attention away from schools of baitfish. That little blade can be the difference between catching a few fish, and having an amazing time on the water. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys were using. We've also included details about the sizes of the heads and exact bait colors we use for schooling fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
