Fishing The BEST LAKE You've Never Heard Of!! Incredible Bass Fishing!!

Aaron Lewis invited us to join him in Texas for some of the most incredible bass fishing you can imagine!! Come with us as we fish a trophy managed lake full of giant bass!! We've all wondered what a place like this would be like and we finally got the chance to find out! You don't want to miss this!

We've all said things like "This lake would be amazing if someone managed it better!" It turns out, there is a ranch in Texas where they're doing exactly that. Jack Brittingham's Briar Lakes Ranch is known for incredible trophy White Tail deer hunts, but in the middle of the ranch lies several of the best kept secrets in Texas. These lakes have been meticulously managed to produce trophy bass and it shows! 

Below you'll find links to the baits we were fishing with, as well as the rods and reels we used to land these giant bass.

The Cold Water Bass Fishing Trick Everyone Forgets!!

When Winter bass don't want to bite, the Jerkbait is the deal! Long pauses and short snaps of the rod can get wary fish to commit. However, this time of year attention to detail is everything. From baits to hooks, and rod to line,  you need your gear to be perfectly dialed to fully take advantage of a jerk bait's potential. 

Matt started out fishing a variety of Winter time baits. He threw crankbaits, blade baits, alabama rigs, and swimbaits. Right before he was going to call it quits he picked up the jerkbait and changed the course of his day. The subtle action of the jerkbait combined with long pauses was more than the bass could resist! 

Below you'll find links to the exact gear Matt was using. He's included his favorite sizes and colors for the baits, as well as the exact rods and reels he was fishing with. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Winter Fishing Tips For Cold Muddy Water (The Toughest Conditions You Can Face)

Winter fishing can be a grind! Add in cold, muddy water, and it will really test your skills! When water temps are below 50 degrees and the water is muddy, its the toughest conditions you can face as an angler. When that's what you're up against, these are the adjustments to make.  

Cold mud is every bass angler's worst nightmare. The fish tend to lock down against cover and their strike zone is incredibly small. However, if the water warms above 50 degrees muddy water fishing can be AMAZING! Today Tim was faced with 44 degree muddy water with heavy current. He started out trying to get a reaction strike but it didn't take long to slow down, pick up a dropshot and a tiny underspin, and target lethargic fish. 

Below you'll find links to all the gear used in today's video. We've included the exact sizes and colors for each presentation. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
