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.

Bass Fishing For GIANT Smallmouth | Swimbaits, Crankbaits and 100 Mile Runs!

100 miles through floating debris fields, 44 degree temps, but the Smallmouth were chewing! Tim caught his 7 lber the evening before so no matter what was in front of us we were going to make it back for more!

The smallmouth were sitting on current seams and ledges in 5 to 18 feet of water. We used a combination of swimbaits and crankbaits to trigger the schools into feeding and then the slugfest began! This was one of the most viscious feeding sessions we've ever seen with smallmouth bass.

Teckel Sprinker Frog | Insane Slow Motion Blow Ups!

We tried the new Teckel Sprinker Frog this week and the fish were going crazy! The bites were explosive and the impacts were insane!

The Sprinker combines the weedless benefits of a hollow body frog with the sound of a whopper plopper style bait. Now you can cover water, draw fish in from a larger area, but still still fish over the top of vegetation. Its a great combination! 

If you haven't tried the Sprinker yet, tie one and see how the bass in your lake react to a new sound and movement they've never seen around the mats before. Good luck!
