Fishing A Cypress Swamp With Unexpected Baits!

We didn't Expect Them To Eat These Baits In A Swamp! We're on the road again, exploring new lakes and finding new patterns. Come along for an awesome day of adapting and experimenting as we fish standing timber in the Deep South.

Bass fishing is all about adapting to conditions. When Matt launched the boat into a field of standing timber, he had no idea a cold snap was coming! As temperatures fell the bite collapsed, but that wouldn't stop him from catching fish! He began changing baits and tactics until he found fish suspending around trees in the middle of the lake!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

19 Degrees But The Bass Are Biting! Come Fishing With Us!!

Come along for a FREEZING day on the water! The air temperatures are 19 degrees, water temperatures are 40 degrees, but the bass are still feeding! If you've ever wondered how to fish in the cold, what to wear, and how to protect your boat, we're covering all of it!

We're focused on power fishing techniques today and it pays off, despite the cold! Frigid temperatures don't mean that you have to slow down. Reaction bites can still be had if you focus on key baits. The guys are throwing very specific baits, looking for very specific conditions, and it matters when temperatures begin to plunge.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys were fishing with. We've included details about the exact sizes and colors for each bait, as well as the rod and reel combos we used to fish them effectively.

Top 5 Baits For January Bass Fishing!

Winter bass fishing is here! If you want to catch bass in January, you need to fish differently than you do the rest of the year. These are the top 5 baits we rely on to consistently catch bass during the coldest part of the year! Come along as we explore our confidence baits to help you catch more fish in January!

In most of the country January is the coldest month of the year. Fish are lethargic and often laying right on bottom. Finesse is the natural approach for these fish but the right reaction baits can trigger a feed response as well, even in a lethargic bass. We rely on a mix of reaction and finesse baits to consistently catch fish all through Winter.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we use in January. We've linked the exact colors, sizes, and rigging components, to help you find the exact items you're looking for. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
