How To Catch Fish In ANY Conditions! (Crazy Spring Weather Won't Stop Us)
Come along as we explore a brand new lake! Matt is out on the road and has picked a new lake to fish. The conditions are brutal, with high winds and rain approaching, but that won’t stop him from fishing! Watch how he eliminates water, builds two unique patterns, and catches a bunch of fish!
Today was all about fishing the backwaters. Matt searched out backwater canals, ponds, flooded flats, and anywhere else he could find that was protected from the wind! He started the day off with the frog, and caught a bunch of quality fish. Once the conditions began to degrade, he had to resort to subsurface presentations to keep getting bites. Next time you’re on the water and the conditions aren’t ideal, just remember that you can adapt and overcome!
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact colors, sizes, hook upgrades, as well as the specific rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
