Underspins and Chatterbaits = Awesome Spring Bass Fishing!

Come along for a day on the water throwing reaction for Largemouth! Watch as Tim builds a pattern with an underspin and spinnerbait, then dials it in with a chatterbait. Adapting to changing conditions is a critical aspect of Spring bass fishing and Tim pulls it off perfectly despite constantly changing conditions. 

Spring bass fishing requires constant adaptation. Today is sunny and warm, tomorrow it might be snowing. For Tim, he faced cold temperatures, wind, rain, sun, and shock boats, all in a few hours. Being willing to make color and trailer adjustments to really dial in a pattern made all the difference on this crazy weather day. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, colors, and equipment Tim used to catch his fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Top Baits For Muddy Water Bass Fishing!

You can't bass fish in Spring without running into muddy water. For some anglers its a disaster, while others wait in anticipation. If you know how to adapt to muddy water in the Spring, you can have some of your best days after a storm. The key to muddy water is knowing where the fish go, and which baits give you the best shot at catching them. 

In today's video Tim breaks down the six baits he relies on to catch fish in muddy water. He explains how colors, sound, and vibration can all impact your catch rates. Then he goes in depth on the circumstances where each lure type will shine. If you're an angler who doesn't understand muddy water, its time to give it a try. Warm, muddy water flowing into a lake will position fish in predictable ways and makes them easier to catch than when the water is clear.

Below you'll find links to all the baits and gear discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and trailers for each application. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

CRAZY UNDERWATER BASS FISHING FOOTAGE!! + SPRING FISHING TIPS YOU'VE NEVER TRIED!

Check out these INCREDIBLE underwater bass Strikes! Watch how these bass interact with lures and what triggers them to bite. Then pay close attention to the details as Matt explains how you can catch giant fish in early Spring by going completely against traditional bass fishing knowledge and triggering a feed response in big bass.

Early Spring topwater? Is that really an option? Could it work in your lake? You better believe it!! Very few anglers throw topwater during the Spring transition but those that do often catch giant bass. Its an overlooked technique that you should consider throwing on warm afternoons. We're not suggesting it be your main approach, but when you're looking for a giant bite, it can't be ruled out. 

Below you'll find links to some of our favorite walking, popping, and straight retrieve topwater lures for Early Spring. We've also included some of the gear we use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
