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.
