Fall Kayak Fishing! This POND Has GIANT Largemouth!
We're exploring a new pond and it doesn't take long to find out there are BIG BASS lurking in these waters! When you pull up to a new lake (pond) and they're eating swimbaits, frogs, and punch rigs, you know you've found a special place! Come along for a day in the kayak as we break down a new fishery, adapt to changing conditions, and catch some really nice bass!
Matt starts the day with a big rat wake bait when he sees the flooded shoreline but soon realizes he's missed the window for this bite by a couple days. He falls back to some of his reliable favorites (frog and chatterbait) to build momentum, then switches back to a swimbait in search of a kicker fish. It works!! Once the bite comes to a halt you see the wheels turning as Matt adapts and finds a final method to get the leery midday bass to bite.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt used throughout the day. We've included the colors, sizes, as well as the rods and reels he had on the kayak. We'll also include links to his life jacket and kayak so you're prepared when you head back out on the water. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
