Jet Boat Fail!! (Subtle Tricks For Pressured Bass)

Some days just don't go according to plan! When things go wrong, how you handle it is everything! Come along as Matt starts out catching mixed species, then adapts, changes lakes, changes boats, and sticks a bunch of really nice largemouth before dark!

We love to fish multi-species! From Musky to trout, from perch to panfish, if it pulls, we're interested in catching them! Today starts off slow but ends with a bang so don't bail out before the bass fishing gets hot! 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt was throwing throughout the day on both fisheries. We've included the exact baits, colors, and gear he used to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

The Trick To Never Burn Out On Fishing

Ever had a friend quit fishing altogether? Ever watching a really good angler just vanish from the tournament scene? It happens every day! Ever wondered why? Maybe its the social media pressure, maybe its rude boaters, maybe its their home life, but more than likely its a combination of all the above. 

If you're passionate about bass fishing and you want it to be a life-long sport there is one key that will keep you coming back from more. At least once a year you need to STOP bass fishing and do something completely different! Let's be real, bass fishing isn't very relaxing. Between the heavy line and the roaring outboards its not nearly as "back to nature" as trout or bluegill fishing. 

Do yourself a favor this year and take a break. If you can find a healthy balance between aggressively pursuing BIG bass and relaxing while fishing for other species, you're going to be a life long angler.

We Caught The Most Rare Fish In North America!

We challenged ourselves to catch the RAREST Fish in North America and we did it! Come along on the journey to see this amazing fish! It took a lot of 4-wheeling, creek crossings, hiking, and a little luck but we finally caught the ultra rare Golden Trout.

We found the elusive trout in ultra clear water and were even able to shoot some underwater footage of them in their natural habitat. This is one adventure we won't soon forget! We literally found ourselves on the Pacific Crest Trail , a trail that crosses the highest peaks in the Continental United States, to reach these fish. If they were easy to reach it wouldn't be worth bringing you along!

We know this branches away from our typical bass fishing content but we hope you enjoy this glimpse into the wilderness of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.
