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.

Power Fishing Tips For Spring! (Spinnerbait, Swimbait, And Micro Baits)

What an awesome day on the water!!! Come along as Matt throws everything from micro baits in clear water, to spinnerbaits and swimbaits for big bass in murky water. Spring bass fishing is all about adapting to changing conditions and today was a perfect example of how to do it!

When the guys get on a spinnerbait or swimbait bite you'd better look out! Both Matt and Tim love a shallow water power fishing bite and today the fish were lined up and waiting to bite once Matt located them! Pay attention to the details Matt lets slip about dialing in his spinnerbaits, as well as about dialing in Multi–use rods. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Matt was using. We've included his favorite sizes and colors for each lure, as well as the rods he was using for these techniques.
