100 Bass Challenge With A Lucky Subscriber!

Huge thanks to Alex Centner for coming all the way from Arizona to shoot this 100 fish challenge with us! It was a grind but we pulled it off! 100 bass plus some bonus crappie and bluegill! 

How many fish have you caught in one day? Catching huge numbers of fish requires focus and commitment but if you take the time to locate actively schooling fish it can be done. By covering water quickly with fast moving baits like the spinnerbait and chatterbait we were able to identify areas that had concentrations of fish. Once the fish were located we were able to slow down with finesse presentations and catch the numbers we were looking for. 

Here's what we used to catch them...

Bass Fishing CRYSTAL Clear Water

30+ feet of visibility and great fishing! If you know how to target BIG BASS in ultra clear water the fishing can be amazing. Tim explains how he targeted the giants with finesse techniques like the senko and ned rig. 

Smallmouth were staging around docks and yachts before the spawn. By approaching them caerfully and skipping with light line Tim and Eric were able to coax the big smallmouth out of the shadows.

The next time you find yourself in ultra clear water, remember Tim's tips and begin putting bigger fish in the boat.

We Suck At Dropshotting!!!

Come on the water with us! Matt and Tim hit the lake in two different boats at the same time to give two approaches to dropshot fishing on Clearlake. 

While the guys didn't exactly slaughter the fish they still had a great day despite tough conditions and gave some awesome tips along the way. From how to keep a worm from twisting your line to understanding when to nose hook vs. rigging weedless, this video is packed with tips for every angler!
