Four Key Baits For Summer Bass Fishing! (Day On The Water)

Come along for a fun day of fishing with Matt! Matt's plan is to target offshore fish, and it doesn't take long for him to find the pattern! Hop in the passenger seat and come along as he catches fish on swimbaits, crankbaits, and other fun Summer baits!

We constantly emphasize building "patterns", rather than finding "spots", because fishing patterns leads to days like this where you get bit cast after cast by quality fish! Summer fishing may be hot, but when the bass are hungry and you're setting the hook with baits like the Burrito, the underspin, and the crankbait, everything else fades away!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors, as well as the rod and reel combos he used to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions.

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.
