How To Find BIG Bass In A New Lake! ( Summer Edition )
We're exploring a new lake during the hottest part of the year, jump in the boat as we figure it out! Matt uses a combination of new fishing (Urchins and Minnows), traditional fishing (Jigs And Worms), and BFS Fishing (Karashi, and Micro Glide Baits) to dial in a new lake. Let's go fishing!
Going in to the day Matt's plan was to split his time between shallow and deep. As it turns out, that plan was spot on. He caught fish from the surface out to 40+ feet of water. While the largest bass of the day came from 25' of water on the edge of a grass line, the majority of his bites were in less than 10' of water around cover, including a bunch of topwater bites.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included his exact colors, terminal tackle, as well as some of his key rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
