Bass Fishing WITHOUT Electronics! How To Read The Water And Catch Fish!

Tired of watching people stare at their electronics? We're going fishing without them, come along! Tim is on a river system and he's dialing in a pattern the old fashioned way. He's got a crankbait and an underspin, and he's catching a ton of fish!

When current is present in a waterbody, bass will always use it to their advantage. If you can understand what that looks like, you can predict how bass will position, even if you don't have any electronics. Watch as Tim power fishes his way to some GIANT Smallmouth, without any outside help. Speed cranking is the star of the show today, but it's not the only way he catches them.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim used throughout the day. From exact weights and colors, to his rod and reel choices, everything is included. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Don't Make These 3 Fall Fishing Mistakes!

Avoid these common mistakes and your Fall Fishing will be awesome! Fall brings some amazing patterns to bass fishing! You can catch them shallow or deep, you can catch them on top or with fast moving subsurface baits. This is one of the most fun times of year to fish! That said, there are some pitfalls that a lot of anglers fall into that can quickly ruin your Fall. Here's what you need to know!

The biggest mistake we see anglers make is they forget about Fall. What we mean is, they're so caught up in the struggles of September bass fishing, that when the bite starts changing, they aren't even looking for it. They're still out struggling on a tough pattern, not realizing that bass have moved shallow and the best bite of the year is happening in a cove around the corner! Don't get caught this year, keep pushing and searching for the Fall bite because if it hasn't already started on your lake, it's just around the corner.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we discussed in the video. We've included some of Tim's favorite baits for Fall fishing, especially some of the unique baits he's focusing in on this time of year.

Targeting Bass Around Grass With Topwater | Fall Bass Fishing

Come along for an incredible day of topwater fishing! This lake has so much grass it can easily overwhelm anglers, but Matt teaches everything you need to know about quickly finding bass in grass. Then, to illustrate the point, the guys catch a pile of fish on frogs and other topwater! You don't want to miss this!

Fall fishing is amazing! When bass are schooling and ambushing baitfish, it's one of the most exciting patterns you can experience.
