Spring is the best time to catch big bass! Fish are moving shallow to feed and spawn and they're easy to catch. That is, if you know where to look and what lures to use. You can catch the biggest bass of your life RIGHT NOW and we're showing you how to do it!
Consistency in Spring is all about understanding bass behavior. Fish are motivated by the spawn and will do whatever it takes to reach they areas they like to spawn in. Weather will impact how quickly they move and water temperature and clarity will impact what you fish with. Once you have the basics, its really easy! The key to success on any day is to keep moving!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits that Matt uses throughout the Spring. He's included his favorite sizes and colors for each category, along with a few budget friendly combos to throw these lures. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

I love how Matt and Tim always say they love to keep it simple as they pull out 6 different categories, 2 styles in each category, and 3 different colors of each.. here's 36 different options.... gotta love it

Would love to see a new swimbait review soon. I know there has been some swimbaits come up on the new item page that I’m sure you guys had to have got. The Imakatsu Lazy swimmer and the owner burikin are two I’m interested in. The new Nacho looks cool too. Like a little baseball with a tail

@oldeschoolbob1022 Год назад

Thank you, Matt; these "seasonal" videos have to be difficult given the geographic diversity of your audience, but I think you did a great job of explaining how to formulate a plan whenever spring actually arrives in your area. My part of Florida was spared any prolonged "cold" spells this year, and fishing has been quite good for me as a result. There's only so much water I can cover from the bank, so it's mainly been soft plastics (sticks and tricks have been very good) and jigs. Hoping that spring arrives soon for everyone, and good luck out there!

@vb9300 Год назад

GOOOOOOOOD MORNIIN' EVERYBODY!!! Yeah, I know its Monday, thought Id try and brighten the mood a little bit. Talked to a guy in his 70's yesterday doing the hmmm thing on a flash mob jr. He said he had never seen or used one. Told him flat out, get it, go to Tactical Bassin A Rigs on youtube, these guys are no non-sense and in my opinion the best teachers in the business. We stood in the fishing section for 30 mins watchin yall🤣. He subscribed right there. Great subject today Matt, will apply as soon as I can get out there.

Hello guys and gals, my wife and I really love your program. I'm in my mid 80's and always fished and loved the outdoors. We live in Colorado and our summers are very short. So, since we are retired we no longer get out. Making this short you all take us with you on your great video's. Yes! Just like being out there with you so we are always looking forward to the next one. Keep up the wonderful trips and be safe. Love you all! James and Inga Smith!

@umairfaizuddin3429 Год назад

Hey Matt and Tim! Always look forward to a new video throughout the week from you guys! I really want to get into crankbait fishing in ponds and I got a lot of super shallow 0-3 ft squarebills. The bottom of most places I fish are usually all mud or slime with some rocks. I keep getting hung up and end up losing so many baits which is normal I guess for bank anglers but I want to build confidence in them. What types of retrieves or modifications do you recommend? Thanks!

@ethansmith8416 Год назад

I use those shimano jerkbaits and I LOVE them. I work a jerkbait at least try everywhere and 50% of the time i get one at least. Shimano did real good there

Great video! I often wonder about the applicability of bass fishing videos to lakes in my area. I live in Western Washington state and fish for small mouth in a man made impoundment called Lake Tapps. I would be thrilled to hear what you think about Tapps Matt. I recently upgraded my boat to a 20' and I can't wait to smash some big small mouth this season. Thanks

@ArsorTheEyeSore Год назад

I live in California in the PNW on the coast about an hour and a half below the Oregon border. We have this freshwater lagoon in this series of lagoons, that is the only lagoon out of the 3 that is freshwater and not brackish because it never breaches with the ocean like the other two do, even though it is literally 50 yards away, like the 101 is down to two lanes at this point, and the lagoon is on one side, the ocean on the other. All that to say there are bass in it, the one place close to bass fish, other nearest is 3 HR drive away. The lagoon cooler most of the year, as the temperature outside never goes higher that 80, and it's windy, and there is just a little bit of grass and a little bit of toolies here and there, basically no structure, as the bottom just goes down like a bowl. I cannot find the fish anywhere. The are trout in the lagoon and very few blue gill, and catfish in this lagoon, and that is all as far as food that I know of, maybe crawfish. Tried jigs, cranks, lipless, square bills, spinners, chatter baits, senko, jerks, literally everything, shallow and deep, no luck so all. Water can't be any higher than 58-60 degrees. It's actually pretty pressured, as again it's the only water with bass in it for a good distance. It's called freshwater lagoon. Any help would be very appreciated

@Tbowie13 Год назад

Speaking on a lipless bite. When I lived in Indiana, we'd go out this time of year and absolutely burn a Rattle-Trap. Back when I was there, the ice stayed in for much longer than it does now. A few weeks after ice out, it was the deal. I'm sure it still works to this day. Those fish get shallow on sunny days taking advantage of the warmth of the sun hitting a dark bottom. We'd catch em from 2-4 ft deep with the Rattle-Traps. I'm sure there are much better lipless options to use for that now, but if all else fails that RT gets bit up north this time of spring.

Thank you for your videos, I find them very informational. I currently live on lake murray just west of Dreher Island State Park. I see all kinds of bass tournaments launch from this area. Ive been out trying to fish about 10-12 hour this month. I purchased alot of lures based off your videos but unable to get any sorts of bites. I don't have much in the way of electronics other than downscan. What would be some areas around me that look good on the map, and what kind of water reservoir is the lake?

@joeyalls6095 Год назад

Hi you guys are great we fish the same waters and I been trying to get a better grasp on targeting throughout the year and were coming into the most active time of year as far as I'm aware. So I also watched Tim's video on spring bass locations and now have a few questions about Richland creek dayton tn. I hear you both talk about points and lowlands and different terms. So what is richland creek and how do I decide what I'm in as far as a lowlands or a delta. Next question is does fishing in these different types of areas affect where they decide to stop or hang around I looked at a topographical map like Tim said and marked a few places I believe would be spots to try but dont know if I fully understand all the points and secondary points would love any help or advice that you could give on Richland creek area thanks again for the help you guys put out here.
