Tricks To Catching Shallow Water Bass In Fall!

Jump in the boat with Matt for a fun day of shallow water bass fishing! Today’s lake is full of grass, and full of fish. The weather has shifted, throwing Matt a curve ball, but it doesn’t take long for him to figure out how to catch some fish.

Tough days are what helps us grow as anglers. Matt was expecting an easy day on the water, but when his first cast nearly cost him a rod, he should have known he was in for a surprise! Pay attention to the details today, because retrieve speed, color adjustments, and location, where all critical to Matt successfully catching fish in tough conditions.

Below you’ll find links to all the baits Matt fished throughout the day. We’ve included the exact colors, trailers, and terminal tackle, along with the rod and reel combos he uses to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
