Fishing The BEST Lake You've NEVER Heard Of!!! (The 2nd Lake)

We're back down in Texas fishing on Jack Brittingham's Briar Lakes Ranch with our friend Aaron Lewis! These private lakes are trophy managed and the fishing is incredible! Yesterday kicked off the trip with a 42 lb limit in a matter of minutes, we'll see what day two holds! Let's go!!

We're facing much tougher conditions on day two... We've got heavy winds and a major change in air pressure but plenty of new private water to explore! The guys start on a new lake and have no trouble catching fish but after a couple hours the decision is made to return to the scene of yesterday's incredible fishing. Its the right call and the big ones start loading into the boat again!

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. All the gear links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items. Additionally, we've included a link to the Briar Lakes Ranch Website where you can get information on visiting these fisheries yourself.

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.
