Incredible Fall Transition Bass Fishing Tips! Jesse Kroetch – Tactical Family

Let's head to the Pacific Northwest and jump in the boat with Jesse Kroetch! Jesse is on a unique fishery that mirrors a lot of what we see across the Southern US, with smallmouth in fast water by the dams, and largemouth on expansive grass flats downstream. He's on an awesome river bite for both species, you don't want to miss this!

Rivers present more challenges than lakes, but they also have great potential for success. Bass that live in rivers tend to be stronger and more aggressive than their lake–raised cousins. Today Jesse takes a 2–pronged approach. He begins his day by the dam, where fish are smaller but aggressive. He targets them effectively with topwater, a Karashi, a swimbait, and a jerkbait. Later he turns his attention to downstream grass and the big fish start coming into the boat!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear he used throughout the day. We've included exact lure colors, as well as the rod and reel combos Jesse used to land his fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

You Can Still Catch BIG Bass Right Now! Here's What We Do!

It's HOT but the BIG Bass are biting! Come along for an awesome day of fishing! Matt has his sights set on a power fishing bite and with a deck full of flipping sticks and frog rods, it won't take long. Within minutes of launching, the first BIG bass comes over the rail. That's when you know it's going to be a great day!

A lot of anglers give up on power fishing when it gets hot, but the guys double down under these conditions. Watch how Matt runs two parallel patterns to catch fish. First, he focuses on double shade for a big bite. After that, he moves to outside grass edges and puts together a great bag of fish with a frog and a creature bait.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors and rigging components, along with the rod and reel combos that made the difference with these fish.

Beat The Heat! Tips To Catch More Bass Around Grass This Summer!

Come along for an exciting day on the water! Torrential rains and heavy flooding this week in Tennessee led to unseasonable conditions. Tim launched into muddy water and floating debris where he was expecting clear water and aggressive fish. He did an awesome job of adapting to the changing conditions, not only catching fish, but putting together a great pattern that he could repeat around the lake.

We all love to land on a wide open bite when we go to the lake, but its days like this that require adaptation, that make you a better angler. Watch how Tim adapted to the conditions, applied his unique fishing style, and found 3 patterns that produced quality bites.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim used throughout the day. We've also included his rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
