Frog Fishing For Bass Seminar ( Beginner To Advanced )

Frog fishing is some of the craziest topwater action you'll ever experience! The way a bass comes through cover to ambush a frog is unlike anything else in fishing! Knowing how to get those bites however, is a skill set that many anglers lack. Today we're covering everything you need to know about fishing hollow body frogs so you can get in on the fun!

With all the frog designs on the market it's hard to understand what they're all for, let alone which ones are worth the time and effort! Some frogs have amazing action and a great hookup ratio, while others will get bit but it's hard to hook the bass. Sorting through all the different frogs is overwhelming, but we've done all the leg work so you can enjoy the results. In today's video Tim separates frogs into different categories, explains what each category is for, and shows his favorite baits for each scenario.

Below you'll find links to the exact frogs discussed in the video. We've sorted them by style, and included our favorite colors for each. We've also included our favorite frog rods and gear to help you be successful. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Shallow Water Bass Fishing! Flipping, Topwater, Old School Spring Bass Fishing!

Jump in the boat for an exciting day of bass fishing! Matt is on the road and today he's dropped into a lake where the fish are in an old school mood. Today is all about a flipping stick, a frog rod, and shallow water. He's not chasing suspended fish, probing open water, or even using modern electronics!

This is the bass fishing we fell in love with as kids. Bass are up on the bank, they're not line shy, and you can hammer the hook sets. Matt isn't getting a ton of bites, but they're the right caliber of fish. He identifies 3 unique patterns to catch them, and quickly gets to work putting fish in the boat.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact bait colors, rigging components, as well as the rod and reel combos that he used to work the baits effectively.

You Can Still Catch BIG Bass Right Now! Here's What We Do!

It's HOT but the BIG Bass are biting! Come along for an awesome day of fishing! Matt has his sights set on a power fishing bite and with a deck full of flipping sticks and frog rods, it won't take long. Within minutes of launching, the first BIG bass comes over the rail. That's when you know it's going to be a great day!

A lot of anglers give up on power fishing when it gets hot, but the guys double down under these conditions. Watch how Matt runs two parallel patterns to catch fish. First, he focuses on double shade for a big bite. After that, he moves to outside grass edges and puts together a great bag of fish with a frog and a creature bait.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors and rigging components, along with the rod and reel combos that made the difference with these fish.

Beat The Heat! Tips To Catch More Bass Around Grass This Summer!

Come along for an exciting day on the water! Torrential rains and heavy flooding this week in Tennessee led to unseasonable conditions. Tim launched into muddy water and floating debris where he was expecting clear water and aggressive fish. He did an awesome job of adapting to the changing conditions, not only catching fish, but putting together a great pattern that he could repeat around the lake.

We all love to land on a wide open bite when we go to the lake, but its days like this that require adaptation, that make you a better angler. Watch how Tim adapted to the conditions, applied his unique fishing style, and found 3 patterns that produced quality bites.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim used throughout the day. We've also included his rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
