How To Find Fish On A New Lake! ( Bass Fishing Lake Mead With Adam Hinkle )

Adam Hinkle is pre fishing for a tournament on Lake Mead and he's taking you along for the ride! This enormous lake is a bass fishing paradise, but only after you find the fish. Watch how Adam breaks down water quickly, builds patterns, and catches fish.

It's no surprise (if you know Adam) that his first bait is a squarebill. Once he's identified a pattern he expands with a deeper diving bait, and a glide bait, all before he ever slows his presentation. Listen closely to the details he's outlining about the positioning of each fish and what that means for future bites.

Below you'll find links to the baits Adam was throwing, a few of his other confidence baits, as well as some great rod and reel combos for fishing these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
