How To Find And Catch Fish In Any Lake! (3 Key Patterns To Catch Bass)

Come along with the Tactical Guys for a day on the water! They're exploring a new lake and it doesn't take long to start catching BIG fish! From swimbaits, to jigs, to finesse baits, the guys have a blast, despite the freezing cold temperatures! If finding fish on a new lake is intimidating to you, this video will help.

The key to fishing new water is learning to identify patterns quickly. Matt and Tim quickly find 3 different ways to catch fish in this lake. Once they have options they quickly isolated the pattern that was catching the biggest fish, and dialed it in further with multiple baits. Fishing new water isn't hard, it just takes a different mentality. Keep in mind, these guys didn't go finesse fishing because they didn't know the lake, they picked up their power fishing rods and figured out how to catch big bass.

Below you'll find links to all the gear the guys used in the video. From the baits, to the rod and reel combos, to the gear that kept them warm, we've linked all of it below. We've even included the exact colors and components for the baits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
