Targeting BIG Bass In Offshore Grass! ( Topwater Bite Is On Fire 🔥)

Come along for some insane topwater fishing!! Matt dropped his aluminum boat into a new lake and is going exploring. It only takes a few minutes to locate fish hunting along offshore grass lines. Its been a long time since we've been on a wide open topwater bite like this!

Some days it feels like you make all the right decisions. From where the fish were positioning to the baits they were eating, this lake fit right into Matt's style of fishing. The Giant Dog X and the Magdraft made a great pair on the grass lines but Matt still took the time to explore other options and further dial in the bite. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, colors, and rod and reel combos Matt used throughout the morning. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

TOP 5 Baits For POND FISHING And BANK FISHING (And How To Fish Them)

Are you a pond fisherman? Do you walk the bank, fish from a kayak, or raft? Maybe you fish from a Jon boat. If you fish small waters there are a few key baits that you need to know how to use. You can carry whole tackle boxes but at the end of the day, one of these 5 baits is how you'll catch most of your fish!

If you've spent any time fishing ponds you know they're just as diverse as larger lakes. Some are shallow, others are deep. Some have clear water while others are muddy. Despite all these differences, there are key baits that work in nearly every pond, every time. These are the baits we trust when we're showing up to a new pond and need to see what kind of fish live there. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits (in the order they were discussed). We've included our favorite colors and sizes for each, along with some great budget-friendly rods and reels you can use to fish these baits effectively.
