HOW TO CATCH THE BIGGEST FISH OF YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW!

Are you ready to catch a giant? Do you want a new PB? Its time!! If you want to catch a big bass, there are 3 techniques that consistently catch the monsters during the cold water months and today we're going to teach you how to use each of them effectively. Don't waste your Winter opportunity, get out there and catch the biggest bass of your life!

When Winter cold sets in, most of the fish in the lake become lethargic. This creates a unique opportunity for the giant fish to hunt, unimpeded by smaller fish. We use 3 unique techniques to specifically target these larger fish. The first is a big swimbait, the second is an A-Rig, and the last is Speed Cranking. Today, Matt is going in depth with each of these methods to help you build the confidence needed to go out and catch a giant bass!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video. We've included the exact colors, sizes, and rigging for each. We've also included links to our favorite rod and reel combos for each technique. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Top 5 Baits For December Bass Fishing!

December brings new challenges and bigger bass! These baits will help you catch them! As water temperatures drop the way to consistently catch bass changes. There are a few power fishing techniques that remain but finesse will start taking a lead roll as well. Here's what you need to know... 

If you're going to power fish you want to focus on lures that draw a feed response in the bass. Speed cranking and A-rig fishing are the two main power techniques that consistently work in cold water. Another great option is hopping a blade bait. All 3 of these methods will catch Winter time giants. Aside from these techniques you should focus your attention on slower bottom contact baits like the football jig and ned rig to get consistent bites.

Crankbait Tricks For Late Summer And Early Fall!

Crankbaits are great in the Late Summer and Early Fall! Today we're going to show you the 4 styles that work the best and how to apply them to your fishing. From speed cranking, to ultra-shallow water, to the deepest depths, we can help you catch more fish with crankbaits in the coming weeks!

The transition from Summer to Fall happens overnight. As night time temperatures begin to fade a sudden change happens in your lake. Fish instantly turn their attention to hard structure and baitfish. The crankbait is a great choice to catch fish as this transition happens. With 1000s of crankbaits hanging on store shelves, it can be really overwhelming to know where to start. Luckily, we've identified 4 key styles and some basic colors that will make all the difference!

Below you'll find links to every bait Matt discussed in the video. We've included the exact models, favorite colors, as well as some of the gear the guys use to fish these baits consistently.
