Exploring A Crazy Shallow Lake With An Aluminum Boat! (How To Find And Catch Bass)
We’re exploring a crazy new lake today! Jump in the boat with Matt and come experience this wild fishery, where water that’s less than a foot deep is the norm, but it’s full of quality bass, even Smallmouth! This lake has been on Matt’s bucket list for years. He tried to fish here once before and got his truck and boat stuck in the mud. Today he’s returned with an aluminum boat, determined to explore this unique lake.
Any time we break down a new lake we begin by power fishing. Matt’s first few fish came on the chatterbait, followed by the swimbait, spinnerbait, and soft jerkbait. Only after the bite slowed did Matt begin finesse fishing, ultimately locking in a third pattern to round out the day.
Below you’ll find links to the baits we used throughout the day. We’ve also included links to the exact baits, hooks, and gear, including Matt’s very specific rod and reel combos that he uses to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
