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.

How To Catch Fish In ANY Conditions! (Crazy Spring Weather Won't Stop Us)

Come along as we explore a brand new lake! Matt is out on the road and has picked a new lake to fish. The conditions are brutal, with high winds and rain approaching, but that won’t stop him from fishing! Watch how he eliminates water, builds two unique patterns, and catches a bunch of fish!

Today was all about fishing the backwaters. Matt searched out backwater canals, ponds, flooded flats, and anywhere else he could find that was protected from the wind! He started the day off with the frog, and caught a bunch of quality fish. Once the conditions began to degrade, he had to resort to subsurface presentations to keep getting bites. Next time you’re on the water and the conditions aren’t ideal, just remember that you can adapt and overcome!

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact colors, sizes, hook upgrades, as well as the specific rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Targeting BIG Bass In Offshore Grass! ( Topwater Bite Is On Fire 🔥)

Come along for some insane topwater fishing!! Matt dropped his aluminum boat into a new lake and is going exploring. It only takes a few minutes to locate fish hunting along offshore grass lines. Its been a long time since we've been on a wide open topwater bite like this!

Some days it feels like you make all the right decisions. From where the fish were positioning to the baits they were eating, this lake fit right into Matt's style of fishing. The Giant Dog X and the Magdraft made a great pair on the grass lines but Matt still took the time to explore other options and further dial in the bite. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, colors, and rod and reel combos Matt used throughout the morning. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
