Small Creek Kayak Fishing! ( Tennessee Musky Fishing )

We're fishing a tiny creek for big fish! Come along for the excitement as we work our way upstream through chutes and shallows to target giant apex predator fish in this tiny fishery. Throwing giant swimbaits in a tiny creek, does it get any better? Matt hasn't been this excited to go fishing in a while!

Today we're on a musky mission! Matt has been chasing them non-stop this Fall and today we've got great conditions for a big bite. Chasing these fish takes swimbait fishing to the next level! Watch as he picks the water apart with some of his confidence baits in the pursuit of musky on bass lures. In the end, he's successful in landing a quality musky on a glide bait!

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

How To Lose A 10 Lber In The Cold 😳😂 Late Fall Bass Fishing Fail!

Sometimes the fish win! Unfortunately its usually the really big ones that do! We work really hard to put the odds in our favor but its still fishing, and sometimes things go wrong. Come along for a crazy day on Lake Chickamauga! Air temps in the 40's but the bass are up shallow and willing to eat!

Could the pattern get any stranger? Half the bites coming on an Alabama Rig, the other half on a frog. We're not sure why, but we're not arguing either! Tim got a shot at a true Chickamauga GIANT bass but she had other plans. If you quit fishing in the Fall because its getting cold, these are the days you're missing! Get back out there!

With all the different swimbaits and underspins on the market, how do you know which models to use? Matt breaks them down into categories and gives you the best of the best for each situation. By the time you reach the end of this video you'll know exactly when to reach for a full size option, or when the little 2.8 keitech is your best bet.

Simple Trick To Catch Bass When Its Cold!

When cold snaps hit, fishing can be brutal! Here's a quick trick we use to get fish to react and bite when they won't touch anything else! Whether they've suspended, gone deep, or just developed lock jaw, cracking a tube is a great way to catch bass in the cold. 

We all love to power fish in the Fall but when cold weather comes in, that bite can shut down in a hurry. Turning to baits like the dropshot, Neko rig, Ned rig, or slow dragging a tube are all great ways to get a bite. But if you still want to get them to react, try cracking the tube. Instead of using your standard tube head, grab a 1/2 - 3/4 ounce head. Let the bait fall to bottom then use a sharp double snap of the rod to get the bait to hop up off the bottom and fall back down on a semi-tight line. Something about these erratic movements draws a reaction strike, even during these tough conditions. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Tim used throughout the day. We've also included some of our other favorite baits for this technique. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
