Pond Fishing With Aaron Lewis! Chatterbait For The Win!

Come along for an AMAZING day of pond fishing from shore! We're catching GIANT bass on Chatterbaits and Topwater with our friends Aaron and Jason! Spring bass fishing is in full swing and the big ones are biting! You don't want to miss this! 

Bank fishing, shore fishing, pond fishing, pond hopping, whatever you want to call it, this style of fishing can be amazing! Sure, there are some disadvantages (we lost 3 Jack Hammers that we couldn't retrieve) but the size of fish that live in ponds and ditches can be incredible! Between the 3 of us we had close to a 30 lb limit walking the banks of this pond!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim was using, including the exact colors and trailers for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.

Grass Fishing! Flukes And Topwater Tricks For Fall Bass Fishing!

Come along as we chase bass in the shallow grass! The baitfish have moved into the shallows and the bass are gorging on them! We're using a combination of flukes, walking baits, and frogs to reach the fish through changing conditions. Be sure to pay close attention to Matt's perspective on color when it comes to topwater lures!

The day starts off with heavy fog, then switches to clear skies, followed by wind, pre-frontal conditions, and ultimately it starts raining. Conditions don't get much crazier than that! Despite it all Matt is able to keep catching fish by adapting his baits and colors with each transition. Fall is an awesome time to be fishing, no matter what the weather throws your way!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact sizes and colors for each lure, as well as some great budget alternatives for his equipment.

Topwater and Frog Fishing Tips For Fall Bass Fishing

Things are different in the Southern half of the country! When everyone else is pulling out there hoodies, the Fall bite is just warming up on the Tennessee River and many other Southern and Western fisheries! Come along for a day on the water and learn the tricks we use to adapt our frogs in changing Fall conditions. 

Fall topwater means different things in different parts of the country.

Matt is using different size frogs to adapt to changing conditions and spills the details on when he makes these changes.
