WHAT WE REALLY FISH WITH! ( Matt's New Boat Tour + Real Tackle )

Come inside Matt's brand new boat! Look under the locker lids at how he stores his tackle and what he's really got tied on his rods! We know people are curious about the new Skeeter so today Matt is giving a full tour of the boat, a breakdown of why he picked the Skeeter FXR21, how he sets the layout of a new boat, and a bunch of other great tackle storage tips!

Tackle storage is complicated! Storing it at home is one thing but getting all your gear to fit in the boat or in a backpack is a whole different challenge. As Matt opens up his new boat and explains his layout pay close attention to the tackle that he carries on board the bass boat and how it differs from his smaller aluminum boat. From boat balance to bait management, there is a lot to consider when loading your boat! 

Below you'll find links to the Electronics on Matt's boat, the tackle storage solutions he uses on board, as well as his jet boat tackle storage components. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Fishing After Spring Storms + GIANT Bonus Fish!!

Come along for an awesome day on the water! Tim is fishing after a big Spring storm and its really shaken things up. COLD Muddy water is running down all the creeks and the fish are adapting to the changing conditions. Watch as Tim breaks down the lake and starts catching nice fish quickly. 

Tim got into some really nice largemouth but the Striper stole the show!! You've got to love a GIANT bonus fish! You never know what you're going to catch so it pays to be prepared. The bulk of Tim's bass were in less than 6 feet of water, warming themselves after the cold snap. He also caught them around grass which acts like an anchor for the fish when conditions are changing. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment he used throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
