Shallow Water Bass Fishing! Flipping, Topwater, Old School Spring Bass Fishing!
Jump in the boat for an exciting day of bass fishing! Matt is on the road and today he's dropped into a lake where the fish are in an old school mood. Today is all about a flipping stick, a frog rod, and shallow water. He's not chasing suspended fish, probing open water, or even using modern electronics!
This is the bass fishing we fell in love with as kids. Bass are up on the bank, they're not line shy, and you can hammer the hook sets. Matt isn't getting a ton of bites, but they're the right caliber of fish. He identifies 3 unique patterns to catch them, and quickly gets to work putting fish in the boat.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact bait colors, rigging components, as well as the rod and reel combos that he used to work the baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
