We use a mix of traditional techniques and "bait finesse" gear to dial in a pattern and catch a bunch of fish!

Bait finesse isn't just a niche that some anglers are implementing. Watch as Matt mixes bait finesse into a regular day of fishing and maximizes his time on the water. If you're not using these methods yet, its okay, you're still on the cutting edge of this fishing style with plenty of time to learn!

Post Spawn Transition: Where Do Bass Go And How To Catch Them!

We're entering the EASIEST most PREDICTABLE fishing time of year! Don't miss it! After bass spawn they begin moving to their Summer haunts. These locations vary by type of fishery so pay close attention to Tim's details for different types of reservoirs and natural lakes. Once they've arrived at these Summer haunts they enter a period of predictable feed patterns and that's your opportunity to catch them!

Whether you like to fish shallow or deep, there will be an opportunity for you in the week's to come. Fish will congregate in likely places at multiple depths and you can catch them with a variety of fun techniques. Don't try to hold on to your Spring time patterns, let them go, focus ahead, and you will succeed!
