Fall Finesse Fishing For Big Spotted Bass!

Come along for a day on the water! We're building patterns and breaking down the lake while targeting big Spotted Bass! Tim is teaching his kids how to target Spotted Bass both around cover and offshore, and you have a unique opportunity to learn along with them!

These bass were primarily feeding in open water. Added flash goes a long way in that situation so the main bait today was a small underspin. Tim also successfully mixed in the Jerkbait (big fish of the day) and a unique spy bait with added flash. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys were using. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Underspins and Chatterbaits = Awesome Spring Bass Fishing!

Come along for a day on the water throwing reaction for Largemouth! Watch as Tim builds a pattern with an underspin and spinnerbait, then dials it in with a chatterbait. Adapting to changing conditions is a critical aspect of Spring bass fishing and Tim pulls it off perfectly despite constantly changing conditions. 

Spring bass fishing requires constant adaptation. Today is sunny and warm, tomorrow it might be snowing. For Tim, he faced cold temperatures, wind, rain, sun, and shock boats, all in a few hours. Being willing to make color and trailer adjustments to really dial in a pattern made all the difference on this crazy weather day. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, colors, and equipment Tim used to catch his fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Backwater Exploring On The South Delta! Tidal Fishery Tricks!

Come along as we explore the forgotten South Delta! Trailering overland with a stranger, navigating through hyacinth-choked canals, and catching fish is all part of a day deep in the extreme Southern reaches of the California Delta. There's a reason most anglers don't venture this far South, but today we're with Matt Leverich and he knows how to navigate the maze. 

We ventured out on the water planning to "junk fish" our way through the South Delta. As the sun got overhead we found a strong frog bite but in true Delta fashion, it wouldn't last long. Soon the tide was out and the winds came in and we were forced to adapt. The day ended with one of the most incredible flurries of juvenile striper and largemouth I've ever seen on this fishery. We included a small fraction of the catches as dozens upon dozens of fish bit cast after cast for over an hour!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment we used throughout the day. We've included our exact combos, bait sizes, colors, etc... to help you be more successful on your next trip.

Underspin Tricks For Early Spring Bass Fishing! (Beginner To Advanced)

The underspin is deadly on early Spring bass! Whether your fish are up in shallow cover eating big bait fish, hanging on breaks eating tiny shad, or suspending on outside structure, the underspin can be adapted to virtually any conditions. Like any technique, there are small tricks that make a huge difference in your success and today Tim is showing his best trick for catching fish that aren't ready to fully commit to the bait. 

Underspins come in all shapes and sizes. Even with our "simple is better" approach to the technique we still find ourselves with 4 or 5 models on the boat at all times. Being able to adapt to changing conditions and different size baitfish makes a huge difference with this technique so don't be afraid to adjust your bait if the fish aren't reacting. 

When in comes to fishing cover, the Flashy Swimmer is key. When the going gets tough, you can't beat a Cool Baits. And when the fish are ready to feed, the Blade Runner and Hog Farmer will give you a strong hook and consistent action to land the giants! All of the baits discussed in the video are linked in the description below. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
