RAW BASS FISHING! Serious Fish Catching And Finesse Fishing Knowledge!

Have you ever caught this many bass, this quickly?! Tim is headed out for an afternoon on the lake and he's bringing you along for the fun! It takes him no time to find some giant schools of aggressive bass and the catching ensues! Listen closely as he talks through his mindset, his approach, and the specifics of the baits he's using.

This day is all about finesse. Tim is focused on swimbaits, spy baits, hair jigs, and tubes, to keep the fish biting. Consistently cycling through baits is key to keeping the schools of fish active. They're on isolated areas in open water, specifically chunk rock and rock to sand transitions, so these fish would be easily overlooked by an angler who was simply fishing the bank.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Tim used throughout the day. From the specific colors, to the rigging components, to the rod and reel combos, we've linked it all. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Two Lakes In One Day! Catching Bass On Crazy Lure Colors!

Most anglers don't know these lure colors actually work! Come on the road with us as we fish new water! We're throwing baits (and colors) that the average angler overlooks. Bold colors work incredibly well in Spring, especially in stained water. Come along as we explore, adapt, and catch giant bass!

Chartreuse and Blue are two of the most underrated colors in fishing. They may not work every day on every lake, but they tend to get larger than average bites. If you've been overlooking these bold colors, you may want to second guess that decision. Today the guys were applying them in fast moving current below giant dams on the Tennessee river, and the bass (and drum) couldn't resist!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the guys were using, including the exact sizes and colors they used. We've also included some of the rod and reel combos we used to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Fall Bass Fishing! Full Day On The Water!

Come along for a day of crankbait fishing with Matt! It's time to "Burn Burn Burn Pause!!" Matt's exploring a stretch of the Tennessee River and he's catching fish! He starts the day expecting to throw a variety of baits but it becomes really obvious that the crankbait is king. Before you know it, that's all he's throwing!

Finesse Fishing Tricks For Clear Water Summer Bass!

Come along for an awesome day on the water! The guys are fishing a new lake, targeting big clear water smallmouth. Watch as they check likely locations, use different baits, and dial in a great pattern for big bass!
