#Summer #bassfishing #fishing - Спорт
By far the most informative fishing channel on UA-cam. Appreciate you guys.
Tactical Bassin and Fish The Moment
Well, you did it again. And here I was gonna blow another 500.. I know you keep saying these beats got the magic. But I'll tell you right now, in my opinion. It's you guys that have the magic.
Look Matt, you guys are great and all, probably the best fishing youtube channel ever.. But I've got a major issue with you guys and I know I'm not alone on this one. A lot of us are talking... this whole posting a few times a week just aint cutting it.. I'm gonna need you guys to post videos like these 6-7 times a day, every day, to keep up with my addiction. Please fix this IMMEDIATELY. Thanks.
🤣Absolutely! 😂🤣👍🏼
Matt I've been watch TB,for almost 6 years now,I was watching some of the old stuff,when you would tell stories from that little room with the rods behind you,it's truly amazing what you and Tim have done,thanks for the knowledge
Would love to hear you guys expand on some things in a live stream/ podcast format, hearing Matt and tim talk about jig fishing for 2 hours uncut, I think we would extract the ultimate juice from them
I've watched a s***load of videos over the last year on bass. This is one of the best presented informative ones I've seen. Thank you.
This channel alone over the last 3 years has made me take leaps and bounds in my fishing compared to most. Using what you teach to a T has put more fish in my hands than I could have ever thought!! Thank you Matt and Tim!! 🎣
We're just happy to help. Way to go Ken!
Guys say go slow and small when it gets hot. I'm here to tell you, throw that idea out the window. Ever since the post spawn, I've been catching fish after fish working that big jerkbait super fast from the bank, but also from my Bass Buggy too. Fast and loud with no pauses. Big worms are also your friends too. Magnum Ol' Monster, Mann's Jelly Worms, etc...don't be afraid to go big, go fast, and go loud. You can catch your PB at this time of year if you aren't afraid to change things up.
This helps me. I have to fish online because I do not feel safe bass fishing by myself. My fishing partner was my dad and he died. So bass pro sim is my way of keeping it going. This helps me play this where such knowledge is beneficial.
Matt is a natural when it comes to talking and explaining in comparison to Tim.. love’em both though!
Matt and Tim have a rare combination of angling skill and teaching acumen. Believe me, rolling through the amount of content they do with little or no missteps or edit points is not easy, but they pull it off episode after episode.
Living in Southern Utah, you gotta learn how to fish in the summer heat. This was a really a good video, thanks! You have a new subscriber.
Thank you for explaining the color line. It has always made sense but what you just explained and how I was catching fish the other day just made so much more sense! Great job as always! 👍
So thorough,so precise,so Tactical Bassin..you guys are the best
Awesome as usual. I learned a lot in this segment thanks buddy for sharing.
I never knew about the color line. That is an amazing tip. Thank you.
Thanks, Matt! Really appreciate the consistent high-quality tips and insight you and Tim give us episode after episode. Have a great weekend!
Thanks Bob!
This is the most informative video I’ve watched, gonna use all your tips this weekend.
Great information,thanks for all the tips 🎣🙂!!!
Great video Matt. Thank for all the great information. I learn so much from your videos. Never thought about the color line. Makes since, will have to give it try.
You and B. LAT are my two favorites. You are the BEST educator and B. Is fun to go on his tournaments with. 👍👍
Love you guys !! I’ve learned everything about bass fishing just watching your videos. Thank you!!
We're happy to help 👍🏼
Man you guys are so amazing inspiring me daily to get on the water and try new things. So informative about everything. The dummy guide to fishing success. Leila and I dream of a day on the small mouth with you guys as the perfect anniversary trip. We love you guys. Thank you for all the knowledge
Good teaching !! Thanks, I will sure keep this info in mind. Thanks again.
Wow so glad I found this channel. I just learned so much from this one video I hit subscribe with in the first few mins on this video.
Great information!! That color line tip is gold!!
Thanks for the great info!
Good stuff! Fishing the Texas Heat for the first time this Saturday.
Terrific vid, Matt. I agree on the confusion of the color line. I initially was confusing “color” line with Mud line. haha. That is color, but caused by boat traffic on busy days. However, the color line you mention is truly based on sunlight penetration in clear water. Good stuff!
So Friggin cool. You Guys ROCK!!!!!
Great information Matt, Thanks For Sharing
I love fishing in the heat of summer also. Alot of guys tell me it's too hot to catch them right now. I never believed that. Past couple years starting learning some pf what u described I'm this video . Have caught a few giants in July and August. .Appreciate all the great info u guys pass along. Best fishing show on the web
The content and vibe is errrr-thang!
Been having good luck backing up my walking bait with a Mimic wake bait the size has been larger on the Wake! Love your content and how you walk through each bait and areas!
Great time for this!!! My dad and I are headed out to Lake Murray next weekend…low-mid 90s 😳🤙🏻😎
Awesome instruction, feels like I am sitting in Bass class with my favorite teacher.
Hey there, love your content. Keep up the good work! I subscribed to your channel.
I’m glad I found this channel this dude sounds like a damn rocket scientist for bass my god bless you
Welcome. Both Matt Allen and Tim Little possess a great deal of fishing skill and teaching ability, and they are both very good at tailoring their presentation to speak to a wide range of anglers. I very much suggest you go back through their video library and have a look; there is some fantastic content in there. As far as gear, take a look at the Buyers Guides - the most recent was spring of this year - and they will give insight as to their favorite rods, reels, etc., at various price points. In my opinion, TB is in the conversation as the best UA-cam bass fishing channel out there. Good luck!
Needed this vid, I live in Louisiana and if you know about Louisiana heat it ain’t fun 😂😭
Thanks for the info bro you're out there by yourself because not everyone is living the dream I wish I could join your schedule
Excellent! As always!
This was very helpful! Thank you! 😊
I really enjoyed this video, thank you!
Best fishing chanel ever appreciate yourself
Very good plan Matt!
GREAT video!!!! I'm in Texas where is close to 1,000° everyday, but now I'm ready to go fishing. Keep pushing out the videos, and thanks to y'all, I'll keep catching fish
Same man I'm outside of Dallas I think it hot 1001 degrees yesterday
DFW here, open the front door to 107. It’s not for everybody.
Truth, the heat has been relentless this summer. Man do their videos get you pumped to get out on the water though!
Very informative. As a relatively inexperienced angler- where to actually fish on a body of water can b overwhelming especially when only limited time on water. These type of videos help the learning curve.
I feel like I'm about to have an epic bite this weekend! Thanks buddy for igniting the 🔥 📛!
I appreciate you for these vids
Was fishing with my nephew yesterday in the heat…funny from all the info I’ve heard from this channel…I was targeting these exact shaded areas your talking about…it was a fun day! He caught his 1st fish ever and it was a 4 pounder….thanks for all your expertise
Thats awesome! Way to go Phil!
Love the videos you guys put out. I've learned a lot and applied a lot of what you guys show when I get on the water. I've had some success but am still slow to getting on the fish. That will come with more time and experience on my local lake I believe. I would love to see a video that covers what spinning rods/reels would work for some of the different fishing styles. I know baitcast is better in many cases and vice versa but I'm still learning my baitcasters and can't do a few of the things you guys do without nesting and starting from square one again
I'm a longtime spinning guy; grew up fishing inshore saltwater here in Florida, so spinners are a major comfort zone for me. Where they struggle are fishing heavy cover, heavier baits, and power techniques. I do throw a MH spinning rod that I use for light cover and smaller jigs. It's basically my substitute for a M power baitcaster. Have you checked their Buyer's Guides? Also, Matt did a video of Top 5 rods to own that is fantastic. He chooses spinners for two of his first three rods. It's here: ua-cam.com/video/5vhH7U2IOUI/v-deo.html . If you haven't already, and you're right-handed, try a left-side reel baitcaster. It's way more natural for me than the traditional right-side reel. Good luck!
Those craws can be just as deadly swimming them as punching them. Great video and info as always Matt!
i love this videos thanks for every thing you teach us
Dude awesome info
Thanks Matt,
Thank you Matt.
Great Information, again or still. Thanks
Definitely going to have to try the color line in my highland res for smallies.
Meanwhile in lake pleasant in AZ: wakeboarding, 50 boats fishing in 115
Great tips.
I just go to the river and catch smallmouth though. They love the warm weather.
I had an absolute killer day yesterday solely on the loon 110 whopper plopper.
Fishing a decently clear smaller reservoir here in Northeast Ohio. Caught 6 of 8 total. 5 good ones between 1.5 and 2.75.
All catches were casting a few feet away from the rocks along the bank I was Fishing. Lost a 3.5 + but going back for more today!!
You should always look for a confluence of factors as well. Hard cover that juts out past the “color line”? A spring creek that feeds into an area of thick cover? These are the highest percentage places in my experience. This is also the time of year when it pays to be able to throw baits DEEP into the shade. If there’s an overhang that leans 20’ out over the water, get it waaayyyyyyyyy back there. Back in the 90s, I caught my personal best in early august during a heat wave. We were getting our final casts in before a large thunderstorm overtook the lake, I chucked a popper way under this deep overhang near a feeder creek and pulled out a bass that was practically half the size of 12-year-old me. The storm was so bad, we had to abandon the boat and walk back to our cottage through the pouring rain and deafening thunder. The entire time, I was biting my nails, hoping this bass was ok in the boat and luckily it was. After the squall, we got some pictures, let ‘er go and she swam right back to the same hole. Summer fishing can be great…it’s just about making adjustments, that’s all.
i had never heard of the colorline before, you just blew my mind.
Great information Matt ty. Fish whisperer
Heck yeah being in Texas I've been waiting for this one lol
Thank you
Getting out this weekend. Probably looking for current since the dams are starting to run more. I’m now trying to figure out where the color line would be in my target area. Thanks as always for such detailed great info!
Great content, thanks. Tight lines
Well done matt
Thanks!
Wow you are the best
This is the hottest summer I can remember for a while. Here inTexas it's been 105 like every day for weeks it seems, and it's gonna be the same for the weeks to come...
The color line brings back memories.
Fantastic
We always target the color line on Cherokee Lake with a Whopper Plopper . We've caught big smallmouth and Largemouth both utilizing that technique ...
Tha ks for tips. I
Out on water every week 12 month out of the year!
If am fishing from shore I throw rocks into the weeds to shoo the fish out and I always catch them.
This video was very helpful.
I always have problems catching anything during fall when it's cold.
Keep in mind am fishing out of Wisconsin. If you have any tips for fall fishing it would be greatly appreciated.
Here in Singapore, it's either blazing hot or pissing monsoon wet all year round. This will be useful.
Best Fisherman on UA-cam
The crazy part when I was bluegill fishing with a micro trout worm I caught 4 bass of it under a walkway bridge in a park
Watched this yesterday and tried hitting the weeds with a weedless senko and caught a nice large mouth within seconds 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Very Informative stuff! When you use the punchy jig do you peg your weight?
Right on 🍺
"You don't want to do that, you want to be fishing". He knows me.
😂
So pumped to go fishing this weekend! Thanks for the tips Matt!
How'd it go?
@@yangler9935 Honestly, I got skunked. I was on the water for about 30 minutes before a storm came through and stopped all fishing for about 2 hours. I pitched laydowns and available heavy cover. Nothing. Next time...
@@lucascarter2277 Aw dang. The same happened to me too. I got skunked and a storm came along. Well, you'll definitely get some bass next time! I got skunked before watching this video, so hopefully this video will help me next time I go fishing. The storm probably ruined your chances of getting a fish. Whenever you go fishing again, hopefully there's no more rain for you! Good luck next time!
@@yangler9935 Thanks Patrick. I wondered how the post frontal conditions played into that. Hope you have good conditions and catch a bunch next time too.
Hey ya'll, thanks so much for all the content. I've definitely become a better angler from it. I'm in eastern PA and I fish the Delaware river primarily. I take the info I get from TB and try to convert it to higher current situations. A video on ways to alter tactics applied on lakes to be used on rivers would be awesome! Thanks again, keep em coming!
I'm on the Allegheny in western PA and having a real hard time finding them ever since the spawn and I know they r here somewhere
I haven't ventured my way to the Delaware River yet. I live in New Jersey. Not too far, but it's such an overwhelming river. I don't even know where to start.
I hear ya bud! Try singling out a species of fish to target, then its research and development, aka time on the water! You have an idea of what you want to fish for?
@@jessewit3166 I primarily look for smallmouth bass but hey man who's not looking for a pike or muskie? Thanks for the advice brother.
What advice do you have for canal fishing for summer time bass fishing, for example like the Colorado river.
Hey Matt, thx for the great video. Down here in Florida my home waters is Headwaters (Fellsmere reservoir). I know you’ve fished it before so you know what it’s like. Is the wobble head with creature bait a good choice given it’s mostly vegetation?
I’m so with you on the actual senko most cus of the salt content
Can you guys do a everything grass episode talking about all the different types of grass submergent And emergent grass, string algee I’m a bank angler who primarily fishes ponds and you guys have gotten me out in the hot and the cold trying to get a new pb back in November I managed to get a 10 pounder on a swim jig and ever since I’ve been able to catch fish anywhere except places overwhelmed with grass in the summer so any information you can provide also anything on the whopper plopper would be nice it’s my favorite bait 🤘🏻
New sub ! Liked 🙏☀️😀
I've said this forever and people think I'm crazy till I tell em why. It's miserably hot, but the fish are the easiest to find and they set up to fish em my favorite ways.
I started watching your videos about a month ago, and in that month, iv caught more largemouth and smallmouth than in my entire life combined up to that point. Thx for the great instructional vids. Do some vids focusing on specific techniques maybe.. in depth drop shot, how and when to use it, how to work etc.
Peep the drop shot tips video. Super good stuff in there.
Do you guys have a video on fishing thermoclines? If not would love to see one because my lakes is at 10-12ft and most my good cover is in 15ish
Any thoughts on using color line and thermocline to dial-in on the fish?
What would you recommend in brackish water specifically on the eastern part of north Carolina
Does this apply on all bodies of water? Like the ca delta
A lot of people say July is the hardest month of the year to catch fish in the dog days of the heat, but July has been my best month by far , they eat when it’s hot out!
You mentioned deep cranking. I just picked up a Mega Bass BIG M 4.0. It is a 2 oz lure that dives to 12 feet. Was wondering if you guys have tried this lure?
Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Matt Allen just called all you guys WIMPS!!!!!!
@tacticalbassin - what line are you running with these baits and weight setups?
