Early Spring Cold Water Bass Fishing Tricks With Matt And Tim!

The first wave of fish are already moving into the shallows, and most people have no idea! Jump in the boat with Matt and Tim for a fun day of Early Spring fishing! The guys are on a mission to target early Spring pre-spawn fish, despite frigid air temperatures! When everyone else is thinking about slowing down, the guys quickly dial in a chatterbait and lipless crankbait bite!

This is the time of year that you get to choose your fishing style. Most guys on the lake are finesse fishing, but you don't have to join them! Move shallow, grab faster moving baits in bold colors, and dial in an awesome early season pattern! As Matt explained in the end of the video, the exact color of "bold" bait has to do with the water color on your lake. If it's stained, throw the really bright stuff, if its clearer, throw the see-through tones.

Below you'll find links to all the baits and gear Matt and Tim used throughout the day. In addition to the exact colors they were fishing with, they've included recommendations for different water conditions. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
