Early Spring Power Fishing! (And Grass Fishing Tips)
Jump in the boat with Matt for an afternoon fishing trip in Florida! We've only got a few hours to fish, but that's all we need. Matt employs a handful of baits to quickly start catching fish, including several of his favorite grass fishing techniques. While fishing, he takes the time to explain the details of what he looks for when fishing around grass, how he breaks down water, and the baits he uses to consistently catch fish.
This was one of the quickest trips we've ever done. Matt only had a few hours to fish, but with a swim jig locked in his hand, you know fish are going to be caught. Throw in the swimming worm, a soft jerkbait, and a few alligators and we've got a fun afternoon on the water! While enjoying the fishing, listen closely to Matt's explanation of how he targets fish in grass by finding edges.
Below you'll find links to all the baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors for the baits, as well as the rod and reel combos he used to fish the baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
