Power Fishing VS Finesse Fishing: Finding Bass In A New Lake!

Come along for an awesome day on the water! Matt, Tim, and JD are exploring a new lake and they're taking you along for the fun! Watch as they find two distinct patterns... one with a big swimbait, and the other with small finesse baits. Both options prove to be very effective as they cover water in search of quality bass in this new lake!

Breaking down new water can be overwhelming. It's hard to know where to start or what to throw. Today the guys came out with a plan; cover as much water as possible! With this approach in mind they tied on everything from a swimbait, to a chatterbait, to a spy bait. It didn't take long to start getting bit and before long, they'd developed a wide open pattern for catching quality largemouth!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys used throughout the day. We included details on bait sizes and colors, hook upgrades, as well as the rod and reel combos they used to fish the baits effectively.

Come along with Matt and Tim as they break down a new lake! These guys have dropped into a new fishery with zero information and immediately start putting the pieces together to catch quality fish with ease. It really is easy if you know what to look for!

While this lake didn't seem to have giant fish in it, the guys immediately figured out how to catch top quality fish for that lake.

Fall Bass Fishing: Trick To Target Offshore And Suspended Bass!

Come along as we smash big bass offshore! We're targeting Spotted Bass and Largemouth suspending around offshore structure and the bite is wide open! Tim catches them on everything from a crankbait, to a dropshot, to a topwater on this wide open bite!

Suspended bass are the final frontier of bass fishing. Targeting these open water creatures is extremely difficult and until recently, required incredible work, timing, and a little luck. The advancements in forward facing sonar have opened the door further but it still requires finely honed skills to catch these fish consistently.
