Cold Water Bass Fishing Tricks! 19 Degrees and We're Still Power Fishing!!

Come along for a wild day on the water!! Its 19 degrees but the fish are biting! Matt is using a high speed reel in freezing cold temperatures to trigger a feed response in Bass when nothing else is working! This trick works and you can do it too!!

We talk a lot about the power of speed cranking in cold water. Today you get to see it first hand! Matt manages to catch a couple jig fish along the way but for the most part can't get bit on anything. When he picks up the crankbait on an 8:1 reel and starts burning it, the fish start reacting!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits we used throughout the day. We've included information like weight, color, trailers, as well as the gear we were using to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

BUYER'S GUIDE: Jigs And Jig Trailers (Finesse, Football, Flipping, Swim Jig)

In today's Buyers guide we're breaking down jig fishing! The best flipping jigs, football jigs, micro jigs, and more from every category. We're also covering our favorite jig trailers for each, as well as the rods we rely on to throw the various jig styles. Let's go!

Jig fishing is a huge category but is actually very simple to narrow down. Most anglers don't need every style of jig. Typically one or two jig styles will cover all the situations on your local fisheries. Once you've chosen those, there will be several viable trailer options and a few key colors. 

Below you'll find links to the exact jigs and trailers in the order we discussed them in the video. We've included our personal favorites sizes and colors for each category, as well as the rods we use to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Night Fishing Tricks For Summer Bass!

BIG BASS BITE AT NIGHT! If you aren't night fishing in Summer, you're missing a huge opportunity to catch monster fish! When Summer heat gets unbearable, turn to the dark for an opportunity at big bites without the sweltering heat. Here are some tips that break the night fishing mold, to help you catch more fish. 

We've all heard the same things about night fishing. Traditional knowledge like "Fish big worms", "don't forget the rattle", "you have to use a Colorado blade" are constantly passed around like fact. The truth is, night fishing is very similar to fishing in the day. Whites, browns, chartreuses, are all viable color options when night fishing, you just need to figure out what your fish prefer. As a rule of thumb we've found that darker colors work on darker nights (new moon) and brown, white, and chartreuse work better on right nights (full moon). 

Below you'll find links to some of our favorite night fishing baits and gear. We've included our favorite colors for each, as well as the hooks and weights we use, where applicable. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

UNDERWATER BASS STRIKES ON JIGS!!! + Jig Fishing Tips!!

Its amazing how aggressive bass can be! Sometimes they inhale the jig, other times they shake it like a dog on a bone! Come underwater and check out all these amazing strikes on different styles of jigs! In the midst of it all, we're giving up the most guarded secret in all of jig fishing... when to set the hook!

It doesn't matter if the jig is your favorite lure or if you've thrown in the towel and don't believe you'll ever catch a bass on a jig, you can learn from this footage. Watch how some fish pick the bait up by the trailer or the skirt while others inhale it completely. Remember these images the next time you hit the water and it will be much easier to discern what your fishing are doing when you feel the "tick" in the line. 

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