Swimbait Fishing Is EASY! Spring Bass Fishing For BIG Bass!

We're down in Georgia and Matt is throwing big baits! Come along on a post-front day and watch how Matt targets big bass with a swimbait despite tough conditions. Spring is prime time to catch a new personal best and Matt is showing us just how easy it can be when you commit to a big swimbait and fish it instead of other lures.

After fishing traditional baits like a Senko and Texas-Rigged worm Matt quickly realized it was going to be a difficult day on the water. Instead of putting his head down and catching what he could, he re-geared, picked up the big baits, and committed to trying to get a BIG bite, rather than catching numbers of fish. The decision paid off immediately when Matt got his biggest bass of the day on the 3rd cast!

Below you'll find links to the swimbaits Matt was throwing, including the rigging components, as well as his swimbait setups. We've also included some of our other favorite Spring time swimbaits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Underspins and Chatterbaits = Awesome Spring Bass Fishing!

Come along for a day on the water throwing reaction for Largemouth! Watch as Tim builds a pattern with an underspin and spinnerbait, then dials it in with a chatterbait. Adapting to changing conditions is a critical aspect of Spring bass fishing and Tim pulls it off perfectly despite constantly changing conditions. 

Spring bass fishing requires constant adaptation. Today is sunny and warm, tomorrow it might be snowing. For Tim, he faced cold temperatures, wind, rain, sun, and shock boats, all in a few hours. Being willing to make color and trailer adjustments to really dial in a pattern made all the difference on this crazy weather day. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, colors, and equipment Tim used to catch his fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Top Baits For Muddy Water Bass Fishing!

You can't bass fish in Spring without running into muddy water. For some anglers its a disaster, while others wait in anticipation. If you know how to adapt to muddy water in the Spring, you can have some of your best days after a storm. The key to muddy water is knowing where the fish go, and which baits give you the best shot at catching them. 

In today's video Tim breaks down the six baits he relies on to catch fish in muddy water. He explains how colors, sound, and vibration can all impact your catch rates. Then he goes in depth on the circumstances where each lure type will shine. If you're an angler who doesn't understand muddy water, its time to give it a try. Warm, muddy water flowing into a lake will position fish in predictable ways and makes them easier to catch than when the water is clear.

Below you'll find links to all the baits and gear discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and trailers for each application. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
