This Is How We Catch Bigger Bass In Spring! (Shallow Water Tricks)

Come along for a day on the water and watch how we locate big bass in a giant reservoir! Matt runs the exact pattern that we teach for early season bass fishing and it plays out perfectly. First he catches a few fish, then he catches a whole school, then he catches a BIG one! Its the perfect script for early Spring bass fishing!

Matt is targeting early prespawn bass with a chatterbait, lipless, and squarebill. He's running secondary points in search of active fish and not wasting any time on unproductive water. When he locates a school he picks it apart then keeps moving in search of the bigger fish that are sure to follow. This is a pattern you can run on any lake around the country. We hope this gives you confidence to keep moving until you catch the fish you're searching for!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt was using throughout the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We've also included a link to Tim's recent "red bait" video to help you gain an understanding of the crawfish phenomenon in Spring.

My New Boat! Full Tour + Custom Build On The Skeeter FXR 20!!

This is the first time we've EVER owned NEW Boats! Its been a long time coming and we finally took the plunge!! After decades in the fishing industry, traveling the country and filming, neither Matt nor Tim has ever owned a brand new boat. Tim took the leap first and Matt isn't far behind. Come take a look at Tim's new Skeeter!

You've been seeing the Skeeter in videos for a few months now and the questions have been pouring in. We've been meaning to give you a tour for a while but we were busy dialing in the rigging, breaking in the motor, and getting to know the boat so we could answer any questions that might come up. After months of seat time, we can tell you with confidence that we love this boat! 

Below you'll find links to the rigging components we used on the boat. All the gear links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We'll also list some of the custom components that we don't have links for, and some of the related videos of us catching big fish from the new FXR20.
