Matt's Two-Bait Trick To Catch Big Bass In Fall!

Matt catches a GIANT BASS while exploring a new lake! Come along for an awesome day of Fall bass fishing! Matt didn't know what to expect as he started the day targeting quality Largemouth, but after making a run to the open water, he discovered an amazing Smallmouth bite as well!

The Fall is an amazing time to be on the water. As temperatures drop, fish begin feeding heavily. During this window, any cast can connect you with the fish of a lifetime. Today, Matt used a combination of a Duo Realis Spinbait 80, and a Megabass Vision 110 Jerkbait, to target big bass.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, gear, and terminal tackle. We've included the exact rods and reels, as well as any upgrades Matt made to the baits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Incredible Fall Transition Bass Fishing Tips! Jesse Kroetch – Tactical Family

Let's head to the Pacific Northwest and jump in the boat with Jesse Kroetch! Jesse is on a unique fishery that mirrors a lot of what we see across the Southern US, with smallmouth in fast water by the dams, and largemouth on expansive grass flats downstream. He's on an awesome river bite for both species, you don't want to miss this!

Rivers present more challenges than lakes, but they also have great potential for success. Bass that live in rivers tend to be stronger and more aggressive than their lake–raised cousins. Today Jesse takes a 2–pronged approach. He begins his day by the dam, where fish are smaller but aggressive. He targets them effectively with topwater, a Karashi, a swimbait, and a jerkbait. Later he turns his attention to downstream grass and the big fish start coming into the boat!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear he used throughout the day. We've included exact lure colors, as well as the rod and reel combos Jesse used to land his fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Dropshot Fishing For Summer Bass! (Swimbait And Topwater Bites Too)

Come along for an awesome Summer day on the water! We're catching fish on swimbaits and topwater, but the real fish catcher today is the dropshot. When finesse is what the fish want, you hunker down and catch them with it! Watch Tim and Wes adapt to changing conditions and dial in an awesome pattern!

Some of the fish are active and willing to chase, but many are holding tight to cover. Once we realize these fish don't want to leave the comfort of their grass beds, we really start to catch them! The Dropshot is a very effective technique, especially when adapted for fishing around cover. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the video. We've even included the exact colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
