Prespawn Bass Fishing! New Megabass Karashi 80, Chatterbaits, And Spring Swimbaits!

Jump in the boat with Tim and Matt for an AMAZING day of bass fishing! The guys are dialing in a prespawn pattern that is WIDE OPEN! They catch a ton of fish, they catch BIG bass, and they catch them a lot of really fun ways! From the brand new Megabass Karashi 80, to the Chatterbait, Lipless Crankbait, A–Rigs, and more! What a day!

The prespawn is all about locating groups of fish. Covering water quickly is key to success. The more water you cover, the higher your odds of locating active schools of bass. From there, we rely on key baits to locate and target the bigger prespawn bass that are staging up. Today was an awesome example of how fun the Spring can be!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We've included the exact colors for the baits, rigging components, as well as the rod and reel combos that fished the baits effectively.

Fishing The BEST Lake You've NEVER Heard Of!!! (The 2nd Lake)

We're back down in Texas fishing on Jack Brittingham's Briar Lakes Ranch with our friend Aaron Lewis! These private lakes are trophy managed and the fishing is incredible! Yesterday kicked off the trip with a 42 lb limit in a matter of minutes, we'll see what day two holds! Let's go!!

We're facing much tougher conditions on day two... We've got heavy winds and a major change in air pressure but plenty of new private water to explore! The guys start on a new lake and have no trouble catching fish but after a couple hours the decision is made to return to the scene of yesterday's incredible fishing. Its the right call and the big ones start loading into the boat again!

Below you'll find links to the baits we were fishing with, as well as the rods and reels we used to land these giant bass. All the gear links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items. Additionally, we've included a link to the Briar Lakes Ranch Website where you can get information on visiting these fisheries yourself.
