Jon Boat Fishing Chaos! Swimbaits And Topwater Between Storms!

Tornado warnings! Severe thunder storms! Extreme winds! White Water Rapids! Its just another day of adventuring in the Tin rig! Come along as we take the jet boat up skinny river rapids in search of Spotted Bass, dodge lightning on the open water for largemouth, and catch a ton of bass on swimbaits and topwater! 

Post spawn bass fishing can be a blast! We kept it incredibly simple today with just a few baits in the boat. When you only have a few selections, its amazing how you can stick to the plan and catch fish no matter what the weather throws your way! We were able to put together an amazing swimbait bite and catch a bunch of nice topwater fish to boot!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the day. We've included the exact sizes and color for each bait to really help you dial in your personal gear. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Kayak Fishing DISASTER! HIDING Deep In The WOODS!

Today started off innocently enough. Matt headed out to explore a brand new lake from the kayak. He’s checked the weather and has a beautiful day ahead, it should be great! Only... that's not what happens! Come along for a day on the water packed with the worst weather ever! Its so bad Matt has to hide in the woods... twice! 

He's able to regain his composure between storm fronts. He catches quite a few fish along the way and has some excellent tackle and gear tips for anglers fishing from kayaks, small boats, and even bank fishing. But over and over again waves of horrendous weather come in, ultimately forcing him to abandon his efforts as thunder and lightning pour down around him. 

Did you enjoy this crazy video? Some days just don't go according to plan. Even so, Matt was able to catch a bunch of fish. Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment he used throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
