Come along with Matt and Tim as they break down a new lake! These guys have dropped into a new fishery with zero information and immediately start putting the pieces together to catch quality fish with ease. It really is easy if you know what to look for!
While this lake didn’t seem to have giant fish in it, the guys immediately figured out how to catch top quality fish for that lake. Along the way they share how they choose spots, how mapping can help, and the mindset behind their bait selection. This information will help you build a pattern on any lake, anywhere!
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and equipment the guys fished throughout the evening. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

#October #fishing #bassfishing
<<<a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
What depths were fishing mainly?!
Would love to know how to do this but WITH OUT a fish finder. Obviously a fish finder plays a big roll in this video.
It would be awesome if u guys came to North Carolina and fished at my home lake an broke it down .
Hey guys this is a little off topic, but do you know what wood is. Ding used on your boat decking. I’m getting ready to do my boat and would like to use that wood
Thanks
No live scope this trip?
Love the fishing vids.
The straight out drop and go successful and I learned again 👍👌
I'd be scared if you guys pulled up to my lake😂
good to see you two on the water together
It's great to see you both together fishing. Very enjoyable video, thank you.
One of my lakes has been high 80 degrees this past week, for the next few days will it drop into the 70's. Transition starting?
Man- fishing from a real bass boat is a whole different world- could you imagine trying to break down a lake like this using a kayak powered by nothing but you and a paddle? It would e impossible. We have to choose a small section of the lake and break it down- one section at a time. And if you happen to choose the wrong section for that day- tough luck bud. This is why I love little rivers and creeks- the current moves you through the fishery and you have a chance to fish it all as you go. If you find a good section- stop and make the best of it. The only issue I have with this is the logistics of getting dropped off and having a vehicle waiting where I'll get out- it's not always easy to get everything setup and find someone who will come pick you up wherever you leave your truck and take you up stream to drop you off. In fact, that's the one thing that keeps me from fishing daily- finding someone who will do this for me. But on the days when I can't find anyone- I usually go hit a local 20 acre lake where I can easily paddle back to my truck. Try patterning a 20 acre lake- you have to get really general and not be very specific with your pattern, because the chances that there is another bank or stump or whatever just like this one- very low. That said- who cares about a pattern- you can fish the whole thing- you don't need a pattern. They're somewhere in the lake- that's all you need to know.
4:26 WHAT A MONSTER.
but for real, always a fun challenge to break down a new lake
Living the life!!
Great video guys! Love watching yall break down water. Would you consider entering local weekday derbs together and filming going out after a bag?
Some of my favorite videos are just you guys fishing
Looks like the bass on my pond 😉
Can you guys do a seminar on everything finesse? Dropshot, Ned, Neko, Wacky, Tube, Finesse sb
What mapping chip do you use on your unit? I'm really not sure which one to get. Thank you
Wish I could post a picture of a Colorado bass I caught last night, in my head was Matt saying, "jack em'!!" Learned so much from you guys over the years. Love your videos!!!
Funny that "they" say a spybait isn't for covering water. I get why they say it – I also ignore it. Nice to see our favorite YT mentors leading the way.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who talks to fish,well done boys
Fixing to change a few reels over to braid to leader. What knot do you guys use for braid to leader?
As always awesome video and great information!!
It's great to see you both fishing together again
Two of the best guys on YouTube fishing on the same boat. Let's go!!!
The difference in lakes is fascinating. I recently found a quarry that is loaded with big bass. I have never seen so many 5+ pounders and some that where twice as big. But I haven't been able to even get a dink to bite on this place, not even when they are feeding. I can walk 100 yards to another lake and catch fish no problem one after another, but none are over 3 pounds.
Matt and Tim I just started to watch you on YouTube channel on a 70 inch TV instead of my phone it is like being in the boat with you guys. Bassmd
