Power Fishing Tips For Spring! (Spinnerbait, Swimbait, And Micro Baits)

What an awesome day on the water!!! Come along as Matt throws everything from micro baits in clear water, to spinnerbaits and swimbaits for big bass in murky water. Spring bass fishing is all about adapting to changing conditions and today was a perfect example of how to do it!

When the guys get on a spinnerbait or swimbait bite you'd better look out! Both Matt and Tim love a shallow water power fishing bite and today the fish were lined up and waiting to bite once Matt located them! Pay attention to the details Matt lets slip about dialing in his spinnerbaits, as well as about dialing in Multi–use rods. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Matt was using. We've included his favorite sizes and colors for each lure, as well as the rods he was using for these techniques. 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.
