Easy Baits For Fishing Small Lakes And Ponds Ft. Jesse Kroetch (Tactical Family)

Jump in the boat with Tactical Family member, Jesse Kroetch, for a fun day of fishing! He's exploring several small lakes in the Pacific Northwest and we get to tag along for the ride! He's got great tips about how to fish these smaller bodies of water, and catches a ton of fish along the way!

After visiting the South and fishing with the Tactical crew, Jesse realized just how different the timing is in the PNW versus the rest of the country. To get ahead of the cold water and enjoy some different patterns, he turns to small lakes that warm up quicker. Watch how he employs a chatterbait, a Karashi, and a jig, to catch nearly every fish in the lake!

Below you'll find links to both the baits he was fishing, and 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.
