Post Spawn Fishing With A 9 lber On A Bluegill Swimbait!

Matt catches a post spawn 9 lber! Come along for an incredible day of fishing! The fish are in the shallows and they're eating everything Matt throws their way. From big swimbaits to bait finesse and topwater, this is one of those special days! Listen closely as Matt explains his theory behind bass behavior this time of year.

These bass are ambushing bluegill and Matt takes advantage of it with a bluegill swimbait and a topwater. He also discovers fish suspending in laydowns and prowling the shallows, and builds awesome patterns flipping cover and fishing a Karashi around the edges. He explains his thought process every step of the way, and shows how you can use this time of year to build confidence in new techniques.

Below you'll find links to all the baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors and sizes for each, along with the rod and reel combos he was fishing. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
