No Electronics Needed! Old School Bass Fishing!

Come along as we go bass fishing in an aluminum boat with no electronics! Forget all the hype, let's prove you can still catch fish without all the bells and whistles! Jigs, crankbaits, and blade baits are all on the menu today and despite rain and snow, we catch a bunch of fish!

Modern electronics are incredibly useful tools, but they're not a requirement for a fun day on the water. Listen closely as Matt explains his decision making throughout the day, the clues he uses to locate fish, and how he builds a pattern. Even as conditions go from bad to worse, he's able to adapt, and keep catching fishing.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt used through the day. We've also included the rod and reel combos he landed his fish with. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

19 Degrees But The Bass Are Biting! Come Fishing With Us!!

Come along for a FREEZING day on the water! The air temperatures are 19 degrees, water temperatures are 40 degrees, but the bass are still feeding! If you've ever wondered how to fish in the cold, what to wear, and how to protect your boat, we're covering all of it!

We're focused on power fishing techniques today and it pays off, despite the cold! Frigid temperatures don't mean that you have to slow down. Reaction bites can still be had if you focus on key baits. The guys are throwing very specific baits, looking for very specific conditions, and it matters when temperatures begin to plunge.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys were fishing with. We've included details about the exact sizes and colors for each bait, as well as the rod and reel combos we used to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Fishing A Frozen Lake!! Rain, Ice, And Bass Fishing!!

We found open water and the bass are biting!! Come along as the boys explore new spots after their main areas are frozen over. The ice cold water is causing them to adapt but it doesn't take long for them to find a pattern that works and start putting bass in the boat! These are the days we don't forget!

A recent cold snap has caused our home lake to freeze and it's been a struggle to even find a way to get the boats on the water. A little ice and snow won't stop us from chasing bass! We don't winterize our boats, and we don't put our gear away for the season. We adapt to changing conditions and figure out a way to keep catching fish! Come along for an awesome day as we explore the limits of bass fishing when it's cold!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys were using. We've included the exact colors, sizes, as well as the rod and reel combos used. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.
