INSANE FISHING! So Many Giant Striper!!!

Come along for the craziest multi-species fishing we've done in a long, long time! Matt decided to go chase Striped Bass for a change of pace and had no idea what he signed up for! He landed on a MEGA SCHOOL of GIANT Striper and the bite was so good he finally had to quit!

These fish were dialed in on big baits! Matt downsized a few times and it just wasn't happening. He focused his attention on a combination of jigging spoons, flutter spoons, and swimbaits to get the big fish in the school fired up. The bigger the bait, the more likely the big fish would eat it!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits he was using, along with some of the gear he used to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Blade Bait And Spoon Fishing Tricks For Fall Bass

Blades and spoons are amazing fish catching lures! The trouble is, you have to know how to use them. As bass corral shad and other baitfish, these baits become major players. While the spoon is typically focused around deep water fishing, with modern advances the blade bait can be used both deep and shallow. Here are the details you need to know... 

Blade baits have come a long way in recent years. With more advanced baitfish shapes and lifelike color patterns these baits have become shallow water slayers during the cool and cold water  months. When it comes to spoons, we use both jigging and flutter spoons. Jigging spoons are best fished quickly and aggressively around deep schooling bass that are on the move, while flutter spoons can be used more methodically. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits from each category, including our favorite weights and colors for each. We've also included relevant hook and hardware upgrades where applicable. Finally, we've included our exact rod and reel combos for each style, as well as a budget-friendly alternative. All the links to directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
