The best bass fishing of the year is happening now! Don't miss it! There is no better time to get on the water and catch a bunch of fish than April. You can typically find fish in all 3 stages of the spawn and it's not hard to catch them. If you've ever wanted to learn a new technique, or target a big bass, this is the time!
Bass can be caught on a mix of fast moving reaction baits and slow, bottom contact presentations. When it comes to reaction baits, we put a lot of emphasis on standing out from the crowd. We're using baits with flash, vibration, and sound to get the bass' attention. When it comes to soft baits, its all about a natural presentation. We find that baits with a some blue in them will often catch more fish than other colors.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt discussed in the video, including our favorite sizes and colors. We've also included some of the gear we use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

@docgillygun9531 Месяц назад

Always great content. Honestly, minus the A-rig, I have those tied on basically year-round. Especially the shakey head and lipless crankbait. You can do so many different things with a lipless crankbait, shallow, or deep. The shakey just pulls them out when they are tight to cover.

Thank you for all the amazing content you gentlemen keep sharing. I was wondering if you could consider making a video going a little more in depth on the Piku Piku. Would love to hear all you have to say about that lure. I’m thinking, a possible topwater bed fishing lure?

@guyb5333 Месяц назад

Matt, any plans to put a fiber weed guard on your tactical under spin? I like that the owner flashy swimmer is weedless, but the bite gap is minimal. In addition, I'll be fishing from the shore and need weedless baits. Tks Guy

You should try the IMA suspending lipless, let it drop and burn and pause it's deadly

@live2fishofficial Месяц назад

No tubes? I understand not every area of the country may not be familiar with the presentation, but just look at any underwater footage of a craw swimming in a defensive pattern and you’ll see the falling tube on a tube jig imitates this perfectly! If you haven’t tried it yet - you should.

@RUF33OH Месяц назад

They’ve got to pick FIVE baits out of the eternity of bass fishing baits. I think we can give them a pass for not talking about the chunky boring tube

@chadmichael2640 Месяц назад

I ALWAYS keep a tube handy since it’s so versatile and can be fished fast or slow. That said, I think the focus for this video was 5 best just for this time of year. Maybe considering that a tube is great ALL year they decided to focus on more specific spring techniques? Just guessing.

@gustavotellez5358 Месяц назад

Can you recommend weedless hooks for the micro rig? I tried it with open hooks, from the shore and it did not take me more than a couple of hours to loose it! Weedless hooks I know of are too big for 2.7 or 3.3 keitech!

@larryvilla6869 Месяц назад

I decided to try the largo shad and I wasn’t impressed compared to a keitech. Idk if it is just the super realistic colors but they were more stiff so you had to fish them a lot faster to get them to kick.

@clay7514 Месяц назад

I’m obsessed with jigs. Never throw t rigs anymore because just like you said, it gets the big bite. Not as many bites but much bigger

Hey Matt, do you think the Buzbe Fast Flatz Bait Bag Half Extra Large would work for storing double blades buzz baits?

@tacticalbassin Месяц назад

You know, I haven't tried. How many baits are we talking? I think I'd just grab a Quik Qube instead so you're not squishing them in the flat bag. If moisture isn't an issue, the Quik Qube Breeze will save you some $$$ as well. Here's the breeze: bit.ly/43ILiTG

@thomasrobey9851 Месяц назад

I switched to the HL for spinnerbaits after watching a video, and it was like inventing water! Amazing. Now I’m thinking of doing it for swimjigs….

@@tacticalbassin15 double bladed and 10 single bladed, that Quik Qube looks like something that'll definitely work for me.

@vincentgelles3805 Месяц назад

I just can’t get bit fishing a jig on the bottom. I’ve tried finesse jigs, football jigs, ball head jigs, and mostly casting or flipping style jigs because they make the most sense for the places I fish. I’ve tried hopping, dragging, dead sticking, you name it. Now, swim jigs and bladed jigs are a different story, I catch tons of fish on them. Do there have to be craws in the body of water for a bottom contact jig to work? I throw colors that closely imitate bluegill in high percentage areas around cover where I know for a fact there are bass but it doesn’t work. I can pick up a Ned rig or a shaky head or weightless Senko and catch several in the same places I’m fishing the jig. It’s really frustrating! What am I doing wrong??

@MrWhiteboy573 Месяц назад

Honestly it took me awhile of going out fishing and only using a jig before I started catching em and actually having confidence with a jig.

@CorbinTheSportsman Месяц назад

I mainly fish jigs around docks and rock banks/ rock piles. I kept one tied on for over a year before I realized I wasn’t dragging them slow enough on the bottom. Also giving it a couple pops every cast will help.

@richardbossman9875 Месяц назад

So I just got a mini A-rig ( the smallest bladed one), how do you guys set up your mini rigs? I want to set it up correctly to get the best chance to get my first A-rig fish. The longest arm appears to be up top, do I leave it straight back or is it bent up a bit? Also what about the other bait arms and the “dummy” arms?

@richardbossman9875 Месяц назад

Also, I am surprised that you have never mentioned the Mann’s one minus crankbait, it has a super wide wobble and does not get below a foot. Change the hardware and it is good to go.

@Cornelius798 Месяц назад

@richardbossman9875 Yep, I still throw the 1 minus.

@richardbossman9875 Месяц назад

So I went ahead and set it up almost like my normal A-rigs, looking at it from the front the long top wire I almost straight back, the two dummy lure wires are up at about a 45 degree angle and away from each other by the same angle. The two bottom wires with hooked swimbaits have the same setup but downwards. Looking head on the dummy lures and hooked ones form a square with the head and trailing long wire with a hooked swimbait is directly behind the head. I found this gave a good presentation and the swimbaits is good movement when twitched aggressively. Hope this helps if anyone had the same question.

@PursuitofGameOutdoors Месяц назад

We’re on the west side, with water in the 40’s up until this week we’ve been fishing blade baits deep on weed edges. They just started hitting chatter bait, here’s a video from last weekend ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7l8Iamm9W8o.htmlsi=xxmvtAbpVv8eMQjM tight lines buddy!

@gamingdreams2142 Месяц назад

My lake doesn’t go full pool till the middle of April and I’m on the bank so I’m screwed till then. I prefer the spinner bait because all I do is lose chatter baits.

@MaineStreamFishing Месяц назад

Try the crosseyes or the slobber knocker… i have thrown that thing into places and gave up on it and it came out. A lot better from the bank than the zman alternatives. It doesn’t roll as much so your hook is safer. Talking about that Slobber knocker

Are the Keitechs going away, being replaced by the swammers? Why the move away?

@tacticalbassin Месяц назад

I wouldn't say replaced but we definitely use Swammers more often. As more anglers have continued to use keitechs, fish naturally adapt. The Swammer has a very unique action, similar to Hollow belly swimbaits, but with a solid body. Fish are responding to it very well. 👍🏼

April is also the time anglers get crazy about the fishing spots they claim are theirs. Clearlake is dealing with bullying and a few altercations on the water. How about let’s just all be respectful towards one another? It’s simple.
