Frog Fishing Challenge - Cold Water!

Rain and Snow? No problem! Matt goes frog fishing in cold water to see if he can get the bass to bite. Jump on the boat with him and see how it goes! 

Matt is walking a frog in open water around tullies and grass hoping to coax an early season frog fish. He gets two big blow ups but isn't able to connect on either of them. Luckily he saves the day with the underspin and swimbait combination. Obviously frog fishing is best during the warm summer months but you can't help but try it in the early Spring!

Catching Big Bass On Little Baits

Matt and his Dad hit the water for some fun fishing but ended up locating a school of big bass! Come along for the ride as they catch quality spotted bass and largemouth on finesse tackle. 

The key to success this day was locating aggressive schooling bass, then keeping them biting by cycling through a variety of baits and cast angles to continue to trigger their feeding mentality. 

When targeting agressive prespawn fish its important to fish quickly and aggressively while the fish are actively feeding. All feeding periods come to an end so catch as many fish as possible during the bite window. Once the fish "cool off" give them a break for a few minutes then try to reactivate the school once more before moving on in search of a new school.

Spinnerbait fishing is an awesome way to catch aggressive bass, especially in murky or stained water. If you don't do a lot of spinnerbait fishing its time to give it a try, you'll love it! 

Fishing With Underspins On Clearlake

Matt takes you out for a day on Clearlake throwing an underspin. With water levels receeding the fishing is more difficult than normal so Matt abandons his typical power techniques in favor of a small underspin. 

Bass fishing with an underspin is a great way to catch bass when conditions get tough. If you were on a spinnerbait or crankbait bite and the conditions get tougher consider switching to an underspin and you might just reactivate your fish.

The key is the combination of swimbait and flashing blade. The blade causes the lure to stand out from the shad or other baitfish so the bass are more likely to eat it. If you haven't fallen in love with the underspin, its time to give it a try!
