Just fished Clear Lake with the algae bloom and the fish were hitting the green pumpkin plastics better than black and blue. Over 100 fish days the past couple weekends.

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Pretty amazing, huh? When the bloom gets truly THICK the dark colors shine but these fish are so used to our day-to-day bloom that they see through it no problem to find green pumpkin, watermelon, etc.

@bassinbilliards6279 6 лет назад

There's a few ponds South of you guys I fish. The shallow ones will algae bloom during summer. It's funny to watch it go from brown to stained to green to clear to stained again. All in a matter of months. Match to July.

@COdrummaCO 7 лет назад

Huge random bloom out on my lake in Phoenix, this video was very helpful.

@BaadMotorFinger 7 лет назад

Matt you're the best man thanks so much for your videos. I'm from Ontario and you and Tim have helped me tremendously in my fishing up here. If I'm ever in California I'll definitely get you for a guide trip.

@tacticalbassin 7 лет назад

Thanks Bud!

@timcarter9146 11 месяцев назад

No problem

@m40_kid70 7 лет назад

being in the south this is normal, hate cleaning my lures though

@DavidC-ut3kk 8 лет назад

I have a video request for you- fishing offshore structure and how to distinguish a good piece of structure. I know what points are, but a lot of terms like channel bends, creek channels, humps, etc. are sort of unfamiliar as I mostly fish from the bank but now that I have the means to get off the bank I would like to be able to understand all the offshore stuff to look for. Thanks!

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Great topic idea! Its on the list, we'll work on that

@12321Silent 8 лет назад

your tips are absolutely right. The times I've fished in algae blooms I was actually able to get into spots where I knew bigger fish would be without spooking them n had a better chance of landing them. Great vids🖒

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Thank you!

@yebomediallc2193 6 лет назад

Great video! I learned a lot about fishing algae blooms.

@paulfinger6975 4 года назад

Great information for a new bass fisherman. I was getting discouraged when our ponds were getting a lot of algae coverage. Thanks

@ScooterBlia2 6 лет назад

Came back to watch this video from years ago. Recently a clear reservoir in my area had an algae bloom, rare as it's usually a pretty high vis lake. Apparently it has a greenblue algae bloom. US Army Corp may be closing the entire lake down for swimming and boating unfortunately. Wasn't expecting this...

@ShelbysGT 9 месяцев назад

That was actually very helpful thank you.

@simplecircuit 8 лет назад

Hey guys, I fish in Middle Tennessee. This weekend, every pocket we ran into was packed full of bait from 1-3". Any thoughts on how to get the bass to bite? It feels like there was so much bait in the area, that even when trying to match the hatch, they wouldn't bite anything.

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Occasionally its tough when there is simply too much bait but generally you do your best if you can get underneath them. I find that an undespin beats out a regular swimbait head under those conditions.

@simplecircuit 8 лет назад

+tacticalbassin thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try this weekend.

@sunwukongmonkeyking5561 7 лет назад

This video gave me more confidence. I just want to say Thank You and I enjoy your Channel a lot.

@kongvang4132 8 лет назад

this video is what I needed. thanks a bunch and I hope you guys don't stop making videos.

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

You're welcome King! No signs of stopping in the near future :-)

@bassorbass4988 2 года назад

Great video. My lake always seems to have algae blooms. In frustration I have thrown everything color I could think of. Red seems to work in algae stained water.

@vnlilman 6 лет назад

How do you fish it without reeling in clumps of algae? Or will the fish still hit it even though there's algae on the hooks? Only way to reel in without getting a bunch was weightless flukes but limits it since it just sits on top of the algae

@tedmccarthy1401 8 лет назад

Matt your level of awesomeness goes up with each video! Keep up the good work and thanks for everything

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Haha thanks man!

@manlandmedia 2 года назад

@matt I live on Clearlake as well.. Why do you say to ditch white when windy with algae (this year has been horrible with it everyday) and swim baits?

@deionramsey1640 7 лет назад

Golden alge just it arizonas salt river lakes pretty hard. Shut 3/4 of the lakes down to fishing and moved the tournament that was supposed to happen to the last lake. Word is the lake will be closed to fishing until July.

@tacticalbassin 7 лет назад

We heard about that, so sorry Bud!!

@drewfarmer7801 8 лет назад

Great tip Matt. My friend was just telling me he went to Clear Lake and didn't catch anything because of the algae bloom and I was wondering how you guys were doing. Thanks again, you guys rock.

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Yeah the bloom is often to blame but its rarely the cause of a bad day. The fish still have to eat!

@DavidC-ut3kk 8 лет назад

just like a simple breakdown OF what it all means when it comes to looking for structure on a depth finder ( I plan to get one soon ) and choosing what to fish based on different factors like time of year or primary forage

@DavidC-ut3kk 8 лет назад

dude nik please don't be disrespectful on Matt Allen's and Tim Little's beautiful channel

@HobbyAddictions 8 лет назад

That was a great way to explain the bloom, nice job. My Bass club will be heading to Clear lake for our distance tournament this year; mid September. Will be my first time, can't wait and will be hitting you up for some pointers as I get closer lol

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

You're going to have a blast up here!

@sinko562 7 лет назад

how long do these algae blooms usually last? i just started fishing for freshwater last july 2016 always been into saltwater bass. all of my local parks and I'm from LA lake perris last weekend was bad as well.

@tacticalbassin 7 лет назад

It totally varies but a single bloom can go for weeks. In some lakes its bloom after bloom, in others it clears right up.

@bmboutdoors8714 3 года назад

I caught my pb in MN in august during an algae bloom

@huntnfishnuts5880 8 лет назад

Good tips and info thanks Matt.

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Thanks!

@joshsetliff4924 7 лет назад

my local city lake has a greenish tint to it right now ,the whole lake has it ,it's 187ac ,is that normal?

@vangkee89 8 лет назад

Good info but it would boost my confidence more if you guys could actually go out and shoot a video of catching fish in the algae bloom. California lakes are so bad that I haven't gone out fishing for this whole summer.

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

You may want to change that... this has been one of the best summers on record! Feel free to check out our instagram or facebook if you want to see an endless stream of algae-caught fish all summer long.

@vangkee89 8 лет назад

+tacticalbassin thanks for the reply. Your channel is the best!!!

@jamesmiller5290 8 лет назад

killer vid! that was good info..keep up the good work.

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Thanks! will do :-)

@ata1421 4 года назад

What I understood, if it’s so thick and bad, I’ll apply night time fishing methods and lures 🙊, thanks Matt , I’ll miss you and Tim.

@jakekroger5835 8 лет назад

Hey guys, I'm trying to get into swimbaits. What do you think is a good rod for medium size swimbaits (2-6oz) and also what's a few good started swimbaits? Thanks

@DavidC-ut3kk 8 лет назад

I'm new as well but as for the reel I would recommend a Cardiff , but if you prefer low profile I would get a Lews wide spool super duty. for a good rod for that range, a Daiwa dx is good if you want to throw the 6 oz baits, but I feel like a fury 795 is more versatile for your big big topwaters, rigs, swimbaits up to 5 ounces, heck you could throw a spook on it if you wanted to or a small bluegill soft bait. some good swimbaits to start with that would cover basically what you need to use throughout the year would be a Hudd, Boot Tail Style Bait (brands such as Optimum, Osprey, Basstrix, Rago ) an Alabama rig if you want, a glide bait like an s waver, and a topwater bait like a rat or lunker punker or slammer

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

That's actually some great advice. That Dobyns 795 is a great choice. I'd match it with a Curado 300 or Cardiff. As for baits, the 6" Tournament Talon by Osprey and the River2Sea S Waver are great places to stop!

@mr.fatbasstard648 8 лет назад

You guys safe and out of harm's way of that fire I hope??

@harrysoldano4258 8 лет назад

That's literally what first came to mind when I heard about the fire around clear lake hope they're alright

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

We're good brother, thank you for asking! Tim had to work through the night several times but neither of our homes was at risk. All is well!

@mr.fatbasstard648 8 лет назад

+tacticalbassin thank God that's great news. Over 300+ strains of algae on the western side of the US. There are 130 identified strains in Clear Lake that have been around and on record for the last ten thousand years. Algae actually helps Clear Lake by minimizing sun rays at the bottom of the lake and keeping the lake's weed systems in check. Evening and nightly winds can prevent the algae from returning to the bottom for oxygen. When the oxygen starved algae dies it don't look good and it don't smell good! But it beats the hell out of Hyacinth and not even being able to get your boat in the Delta... lol

@keanureeves1915 8 лет назад

good info vid mate...keep it up

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Will do, thanks!

@victormuljono3117 7 лет назад

Hi Matt, thank you for the information. One of the reason I subscribe to your channel. I'm actually heading out there in about a week. Do you have any advice as far as the algae bloom for night fishing?

@tacticalbassin 7 лет назад

Nice! The blooms sink at night so they wont impact you at all.

@victormuljono3117 7 лет назад

That's good to know. Thank you.

@rickyd454 8 лет назад

Was the die off as bad as they are making it out to be ? If so how has it effected the bite?

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Absolutely! Thousands of dead fish! That said, its a big lake and there are still a ton of fish to be caught.

@1fishEguy 8 лет назад

Solid stuff, couldn't agree more.

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

@douglasschaper5749 3 года назад

Nice tutorial but I know this already. I’ve had luck fishing algae but Sunday was an off day and I hate pulling slime off after every cast. Thanks Lynn for sending me this 🎣🎣🐟👀👍

@Nobodyimportant696 8 лет назад

Thanks good info

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

You're welcome!

@misterbulger 3 года назад

Theres carp the size of submarines that root around in the shallows at my local pond. They love it under that thick algae. You can see their fins sticking up through the alge like Jaws or Shamu. All I can do is strategically cast a bobber in an opening in the thick mat with some corn. Its awful when you real it in tho. I use a 9ft rod and kind of whip it backso it doesnt drag in the alge. Theirs a big heard of 3 footers in there. Total hogs. Borderline sea monsters.

@bobbys8777 7 лет назад

Algae is one thing, now cotton is the devil. Do you deal with much cotton issues down in cali? For a month this year my main lake coves looked like snow. Endless amounts of cotton which makes fishing extremely difficult when it comes in on your line by the cotton ball ( literally)

@tacticalbassin 7 лет назад

Ugh... the devil is the perfect description! We get it and there is no solution! Cotton + braided line is a nightmare!!

@bobbys8777 7 лет назад

Well, tbh, it makes me feel better to know you struggle with it down there too lol. It's the freakin worst!!

@cavin5814 7 лет назад

Is the yellow balls of gloop at lake Berryessa CA algae?

@tacticalbassin 7 лет назад

That's a form of algae or moss. Nasty stuff but doesn't seem to matter to the fish

@cavin5814 7 лет назад

TacticalBassin thx

@kushcrumbleshatter 8 лет назад

That crumble looks yummy

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

@ilovehonda20 8 лет назад

What about super heavy grass.

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Heavy grass is its own animal but they're in there. Punching it is typically the best bet.

@drewfarmer7801 8 лет назад

...all the fish are floating on the surface... there's a news crew standing next to you... LMFAO.

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Ha!

@claybirdyshaw692 8 лет назад

This year Alabama hasn't been to bad yet

@tacticalbassin 8 лет назад

Glad to hear it!

@michaelconner4952 7 лет назад

TacticalBassin be aware however that if it is a blue-green algal bloom, it can produce microcystin toxins and that is a bad "bug" for both humans and aquatic life. Do not contact that water directly, don't inhale spray from your boat ride, and never get any of it in your eyes or mouth. Again, I am talking a blue-green bloom. Florida was hammered by it for 7 months in 2016. Lake Okeechobee had a major bloom for months, and water managers shunted that water to 2 saltwater fisheries, which also,turned fresh because of 2 to 3 billion gallons per day sent from the Lake. be careful with the stuff.
