You Forgot This Lure Is In Your Box! ( And We're Catching Giant Bass On It )

Come along for an incredible day of fishing! Tim is fishing heavy cover and crystal clear water for GIANT bass! The sun is high, the conditions are slick calm, but Tim knows exactly what to do to get these cautious fish to bite! He goes back to basics, pulls out one of the greatest baits of all time, and catches a ton of fish!

The senko is a bait that everyone owns, but many anglers forget to throw. Today highlights its effectiveness, and is a great reminder of what makes this bait so special! Tim has key colors that he trusts, and he wasn't afraid to list them off for anyone to hear. He wraps the day up strong with a beautiful early–season frog fish as well!

Targeting Bass Around Grass With Topwater | Fall Bass Fishing

Come along for an incredible day of topwater fishing! This lake has so much grass it can easily overwhelm anglers, but Matt teaches everything you need to know about quickly finding bass in grass. Then, to illustrate the point, the guys catch a pile of fish on frogs and other topwater! You don't want to miss this!

Fall fishing is amazing! When bass are schooling and ambushing baitfish, it's one of the most exciting patterns you can experience.

Power Fishing Tips For September And October Bass Fishing!

Come along for an awesome day of Flipping, Frogging, chatterbaits, and soft jerkbaits! Power fishing is alive and well in the Fall transition, if you know where to look. Matt teaches some key points throughout his day of fishing that will help you find fish faster, and easily build confidence in otherwise tough techniques.

This time of year doesn't have to be focused on finesse. We often do, because you can catch a ton of fish doing it, but there is still a lot of value in putting in the work to catch bigger fish on power techniques like flipping and frog fishing. If these are techniques you struggle to build confidence in, we hope the nuggets of information Matt included in this video are the difference maker for you!
