MUDDY vs CLEAR - Tips For Catching Bass Right Now!
Come along for a day of fishing on a brand new lake where Matt is faced with muddy water at one of the lake, and crystal clear water at the other! Muddy cold water is every angler's nemesis, and clear cold water isn't much better! Many anglers shy away from Winter fishing because they can't figure it out but today Matt is giving away the keys to having confidence and catching fish in these challenging conditions.
While the conditions aren't the best for exploring a new lake (notice Matt's icy beard during the intro) Matt makes the best of it and even catches a few fish along the way. Pay close attention to his clear water tips about using light weights for a slow fall and the pendulum technique for fishing varying depths with ease. Then pay even more attention to his details about muddy water fishing. From key water temperatures, to cover, to his favorite lure colors, Matt pours out the information throughout the video.
Below you'll find links to the baits Matt used in clear water, followed by the baits he had rigged up for muddy water. He's included his favorite colors and sizes for each, as well as some of the gear he trusted to catch his fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
