Bass Fishing Day On The Water! BIG LARGEMOUTH In Post Frontal, Cold, Windy Conditions!

Jump in the Skeeter with Tim for a great day of fishing! He's facing post frontal, windy conditions, but that won't stop him! Watch how he starts with a plan, then adapts to the changing conditions. Between the wind, the cold, the clouds, and the constant change, he manages to catch a great limit of fish, including a great big largemouth kicker!

These are the days when our fishing skills are tested. The fish aren't cooperating with Tim's plan, but he adapts and overcomes. By switching to slower moving, smaller presentations, he's able to coax a few fish into biting. He didn't get a ton of bites, but every bite resulted in a quality fish. The Keitech and the Spark Shad were the ticket today, but that jerkbait came in clutch as well.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim used throughout the day. We've included the exact bait colors, weights, etc. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

FINESSE SWIMBAIT vs SOFT JERKBAIT: Which Is Better?

Come along for an awesome day of fishing with Matt and his Dad! We're on vacation in the North to get away from the heat and the bass fishing is on fire! The fish are aggressive, and the water is clear. What more could we ask for?!

This lake is a perfect example of a natural Northern fishery. It has a healthy mix of both largemouth and smallmouth bass, and you can target either one. Today the smallmouth are on finesse patterns and the largemouth are ambushing around shallow cover.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the morning. We've included our favorite colors and sizes for each, as well as any hook upgrades we used. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can find detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
