Bass Fishing WITHOUT Electronics! How To Read The Water And Catch Fish!

Tired of watching people stare at their electronics? We're going fishing without them, come along! Tim is on a river system and he's dialing in a pattern the old fashioned way. He's got a crankbait and an underspin, and he's catching a ton of fish!

When current is present in a waterbody, bass will always use it to their advantage. If you can understand what that looks like, you can predict how bass will position, even if you don't have any electronics. Watch as Tim power fishes his way to some GIANT Smallmouth, without any outside help. Speed cranking is the star of the show today, but it's not the only way he catches them.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim used throughout the day. From exact weights and colors, to his rod and reel choices, everything is included. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Our Favorite Bass Fishing Trick For Big Fish! ( That No One Ever Talks About )

This is the craziest CLEAR WATER bass fishing you're ever going to see! Watch as Matt applies saltwater tactics to freshwater bass fishing as he targets monster fish on shallow flats. He's using finesse baits and light line to hook monster bass one after another!

While this style of fishing may not apply to your lake, it's something you should try to experience once in your life. Watching big Smallmouth Bass, or any other species for that matter, hunt your bait across a shallow flat, is a remarkable experience. Listen to the details as Matt explains why it's happening and what he's doing to keep the fish biting.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Matt was using. He's included the exact sizes and colors for each lure, along with the specifics for each rod and reel combo. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

FINESSE SWIMBAIT vs SOFT JERKBAIT: Which Is Better?

Come along for an awesome day of fishing with Matt and his Dad! We're on vacation in the North to get away from the heat and the bass fishing is on fire! The fish are aggressive, and the water is clear. What more could we ask for?!

This lake is a perfect example of a natural Northern fishery. It has a healthy mix of both largemouth and smallmouth bass, and you can target either one. Today the smallmouth are on finesse patterns and the largemouth are ambushing around shallow cover.

RAW BASS FISHING! Serious Fish Catching And Finesse Fishing Knowledge!

Have you ever caught this many bass, this quickly?! Tim is headed out for an afternoon on the lake and he's bringing you along for the fun! It takes him no time to find some giant schools of aggressive bass and the catching ensues! Listen closely as he talks through his mindset, his approach, and the specifics of the baits he's using.

This day is all about finesse. Tim is focused on swimbaits, spy baits, hair jigs, and tubes, to keep the fish biting. Consistently cycling through baits is key to keeping the schools of fish active. They're on isolated areas in open water, specifically chunk rock and rock to sand transitions, so these fish would be easily overlooked by an angler who was simply fishing the bank.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Tim used throughout the day. From the specific colors, to the rigging components, to the rod and reel combos, we've linked it all. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
