Early Summer Bass Fishing Tricks! (Incredible Swimbait Fishing!)

Come along for a fun day on the water! Tim is on a road trip through the North and picked a random lake off the map. Watch how he builds several unique patterns and catches a ton of beautiful largemouth and smallmouth on everything from a swimbait to a spy bait!

This is such a fun time of year to be on the water! You can catch fish a variety of ways, as illustrated by Tim's fishing today. When the conditions dictated, Tim caught a bunch of quality fish on the Megabass Magdraft. After a front blew through, he turned to a jerkbait and a spy bait to keep his bite alive. It just goes to show you, if you keep a rod in your hand, you never know what will bite!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors, sizes, and bait modifications, along with the rod and reel combos he used to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Power Fishing VS Finesse Fishing: Finding Bass In A New Lake!

Come along for an awesome day on the water! Matt, Tim, and JD are exploring a new lake and they're taking you along for the fun! Watch as they find two distinct patterns... one with a big swimbait, and the other with small finesse baits. Both options prove to be very effective as they cover water in search of quality bass in this new lake!

Breaking down new water can be overwhelming. It's hard to know where to start or what to throw. Today the guys came out with a plan; cover as much water as possible! With this approach in mind they tied on everything from a swimbait, to a chatterbait, to a spy bait. It didn't take long to start getting bit and before long, they'd developed a wide open pattern for catching quality largemouth!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys used throughout the day. We included details on bait sizes and colors, hook upgrades, as well as the rod and reel combos they used to fish the baits effectively.

While this lake didn't seem to have giant fish in it, the guys immediately figured out how to catch top quality fish for that lake.
