TACTICALBASSIN vs Kids - KIDS WIN! (Post Spawn Bass Fishing)

He taught them right and now these kids are hammers! Tim is out on the water with his boys and his youngest catches the biggest fish of the trip! Its a junk fishing evening with a mix of topwater, dropshot, shaky head, and frogs. You can tell these kids know their stuff as they talk about skipping under docks, how big their PB's are, and cast angles while catching post spawn fish.

This is a great time of year to be on the water. There are still a lot of bass shallow and they can be caught on a mix of slow moving and reaction baits. Tonight the guys relied on a slow moving dropshot and shaky head (note the worm colors, that part is key!) and a faster moving popper and frog.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the guys were using, including colors and sizes. We've also included links to some of the rod and reel combos they were using. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How To Lose A 10 Lber In The Cold 😳😂 Late Fall Bass Fishing Fail!

Sometimes the fish win! Unfortunately its usually the really big ones that do! We work really hard to put the odds in our favor but its still fishing, and sometimes things go wrong. Come along for a crazy day on Lake Chickamauga! Air temps in the 40's but the bass are up shallow and willing to eat!

Could the pattern get any stranger? Half the bites coming on an Alabama Rig, the other half on a frog. We're not sure why, but we're not arguing either! Tim got a shot at a true Chickamauga GIANT bass but she had other plans. If you quit fishing in the Fall because its getting cold, these are the days you're missing! Get back out there!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors and sizes as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How To Catch Bass In The Heat! ( Its Easy! )

Quit struggling when its hot! Bass become really predictable on hot days. If you know where to look and what to throw, catching fish is no problem... even in the hottest weather! If you're going to go to the lake and sweat, you might as well learn the right places to fish. Pay close attention as Tim points out key cover elements and demonstrates the baits he uses to pick them apart. 

Many anglers give up on fishing during the day during the heat of Summer. They switch to night fishing or just give up all together. However, there are a few anglers that understand what a huge help the heat can be to fish positioning and predictability. The hotter it gets, the easier it is to catch the bass! When the peak of Summer heat arrives, shallow bass position under the thickest pieces of overhead cover. If you're looking down an entire bank of shallow cover you can instantly see the 2 or 3 spots where the largest fish will sit. 

With the guess work removed from the equation, all you need are a handful of reliable baits to catch the fish. Below you'll find links to our favorite flipping baits, frogs, and swim jigs. We've included the best sizes, our favorite colors, as well as the gear we use to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
