The Two Bait Trick For June Bass Fishing!

Jump in the boat for an awesome day on a brand new lake! Matt is targeting offshore bass on a lake he's never fished. It's no surprise that he turns to his confidence baits to get bites and build a pattern. It doesn't take long before the pattern is dialed and Matt is catching quality fish!

Matt used his favorite one–two punch to catch fish today. The combination of a wobble head jig (Swinging jighead), and a shaky head worm is more than early Summer bass can resist! Using these baits together gives you the best shot at catching a big bass, as well as catching numbers of fish along the way. Throw in an awesome Karashi catch and you've got the trifecta of fun fishing!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the terminal tackle, the specific colors, as well as the rod and reel combos, to help you dial in your own gear. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Post Spawn Bass Fishing! Day On The Water With Matt!

Hop in the boat with Matt for a fun day on the water! Watch how he adapts to changing conditions as fish move into the post spawn period. He begins the day with a shallow water plan but quickly finds himself downsizing to target offshore bass. He learned a lot along the way and takes time to explain how fish behavior and environmental conditions shifted his plan.

Days like this remind us that bass fishing is full of surprises! Matt intended to fish swimbaits, swim jigs, and topwater but quickly realized that slow finesse presentations like a shaky head worm were key. He also spent a few hours chasing a random fish in hopes of a pattern that never emerged. Explaining these errors and how he adapts to them, is how all of us grow our fishing knowledge base.

Below you'll find links to all the baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors for the baits, as well as the exact rod and reel combos for each presentation.

Two Overlooked Baits For April Bass Fishing!

Jump in the boat with Matt as he explores a new lake! April Bass Fishing brings unique challenges as Bass move into the shallows. The fish begin spreading out, often holding tight to cover, making it more difficult to target them with Spring power fishing techniques. Today Matt had planned to target fish with fast moving baits, but he quickly realized it wasn't going to happen and he needed to adapt.

When the going gets tough, the guys at TacticalBassin have a handful of baits they rely on to consistently catch fish. In April, there are two that Matt has been turning to, to ensure he catches fish. The first is a shaky head and the second is a new version of the senko. A shaky head worm is no secret, but he's relying on a much smaller worm than usual. The senko is a bait we've all trusted or years, but the new Fuzzy version is getting bites when nothing else will.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. From the exact rigging components (they matter), to the rod and reel combos Matt used to work his baits effectively, everything is listed below. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
