Florida Bass Fishing Raw And Uncut! Big Bass On Swim Jigs And Chatterbaits!

Come along for a day on one of Florida's best lakes! We're going to build patterns and catch some BIG bass along the way! If you want to see what its like to really figure out a new body of water, this is for you. The fish are coming out of a cold snap and transitioning into the shallows. We're using a fluke, swim jig, and chatterbait to target them as they make the move. 

This style of video gives a complete view of what its really like to get out on the water and dial in the fish. Often times you see the highlights but don't see the struggles. From the break offs to the hand-lines and boat flips, its all here! If you enjoy this style of video leave a comment and let us know. Today was a blast! There was a period of struggle in the middle but we were able to combine two patterns into a very successful afternoon on the water. 

While we're in a completely new part of the country, the fishing itself is very similar to what we've experienced many other places. The bass are transitioning into the shallows to feed and spawn. Florida is well into Spring but most of the country is still weeks, and even months behind. If you want to replicate some of these patterns, we've included links to all the equipment Matt was using in the description below. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We've included relevant colors, as well as the rods and reels he was using to throw the baits.
