One of the keys to consistent success is to match the hatch. Learn what the fish in your lake like to eat. If they eat shad, kokanee, trout, bluegill, crappie, or other baitfish you can choose the baits that will best trigger those bass into feeding.

Matt also explains how to fire up a school of fish and creating a feeding mentality. Using this method you can use the behavior of small fish to trigger giant fish into feeding aggressively, even when they don't want to bite!

Depending on the food the bass are eating Matt explains how to target them by fishing swimbaits and glidebaits, jig fishing, or switching to reactive baits like the swimbait, underspin, or jerkbait. The last method we recommend using to catch trophy bass is night fishing. We break down how to catch those night fish with swimbaits, swim jigs, or jigs (jig and pig). 

If you use these tips and tricks to catch bigger bass, you're going to have an amazing year on the water! Trophy bass fishing doesn't have to be a mystery. These are the exact baits and methods we use to catch bigger fish and you can use them too!

Fishing muddy water is second nature to many anglers but if you're a Western fisherman these recent storms have completely changed the way you fish. Don't be afraid of the rising muddy water as our lakes hit flood stage. The bass are adapting to their new home and will continue to feed. 

Which Color Lures Should You Be Using This Spring?

Don't let murky water or changing conditions keep you from catching fish! Matt explains how to simplify your color selection and adapt to changing water clarity when fishing in the Spring.

Remember the key to success during Spring fishing is to simplify and focus on key color combinations. By applying simple principals to color selection you'll be able to spend more time fishing effectively.  Don't let cold, muddy water scare you. Bass still need to feed and by adapting from ghost colors to bold colors you can easily trigger those bass into a frenzy.
