Crankbait Retrieves And Other Spring Bass Fishing Tricks!

Come along with Matt for an evening of Spring Bass Fishing! The Tennessee River is a vast fishery, and with only a few hours to catch fish, Matt employs the "pattern method" to locate active fish. Watch he checks likely locations, quickly adapts, and puts a pile of fish in the boat!

This video highlights the benefits of using reaction baits in Spring. Matt employs baits like a Lipless Crankbait, a Squarebill Crankbait, and an Alabama Rig, to quickly locate fish. Once he's found them, he cycles through baits to keep them biting. This fishing method works everywhere, and is one of the best ways to quickly break down water and locate fish.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the evening. We've also included the exact colors, hook upgrades, and the rod and reel combos Matt used to consistently land the fish that bit. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Spring Bass Fishing Is Awesome! (Catching Them On Everything In The Boat!)

The guys are going fishing and they're taking you along for the ride! Spring bass fishing is all about adapting to changing conditions. Watch as the guys catch fish on deep diving crankbaits and square bills, underspins and spinnerbaits, and do it while wearing down jackets to start, and shorts by the end of the day! If you're not ready to adapt, you might as well stay at home!

We love Spring bass fishing! These post spawn fish were aggressive and we found several viable patterns. We found fish holding on current seams and pinch points, as well as moved up on flooded flats. Because of the changing conditions we threw almost every bait we had in the boat!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, rods, and reels the guys used throughout the day. We've included the exact sizes, colors, and trailers where applicable. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions.
