Come along with Matt throwing big swimbaits for giant smallmouth! Matt breaks down the water, explains his decisions, and gives some great tips for controlling your baits and line in the wind.
Big smallmouth are the best! Catching them from the bank is even better! Go figure the best bite of the day came while he was on the phone. The key to getting bit in this video was location. Matt selected a bank that was wind blown, had a corner where baitfish could be trapped, and offshore cover to allow the bass to ambush their prey more easily.

More bank videos please
It's an absolute shame this video hasn't gotten more views. The info on the wind alone is priceless. As a bank fisherman, sometimes kayak, the wind is a huge problem for me. I can't always fish the perfect spot or get around a bend and be wind free, or often I am fishing a pond that is wide open. During the spring, like now, we have winds of 20mph all day long, all month long usually. Its rare we get a day with even 10 mph or less and when we do it's usually rainy or colder. I feel like the wind isn't brought up enough, but now knowing what you have told me I understand why. Many have struggled like me, while others such as yourself have found a way to make it a lot less of a problem so you don't even notice that howling wind nearly as much as someone like myself who is dreading it before I even get to the spot! Lol.
More bank fishing videos please
I just fished that lake today and only got one small one. Imma get my self a S waver and try it out. Thanks for the vid
More bank fishing videos pls. I just bought me a setup u advised for throwing large swimbaits. I bought the s waver 168 to start with. I dont have a boat so itvwas fun and educational to see you catch from shore.
What knot did u tie the s waver 168 to your leader with?
I just hate this curado 70 with a passion!
Nice job man!! Learned a ton from your channel and love the content!! Keep up the good work
My home lakes are windy all the time. They have Rocky points and flooded brush. What I would like to see is a video of wind specific techniques and how to Target fish in wind blown areas. Angles of attack and such. That would be very helpful. Thank you
Without a Name is this Bidy of water in the Northeast. My daughter and I fish all over Nv and I'm struggling with the Back drop. Great fish and Video.
Bro. That’s not no football. That’s a friggin BASKETBALL. Do you use the high 7.1 gear ratios for all sizes of glide baits or what?
You make me want to go ashore fishing at 2am
Can you please do more bass fishing from the shore? And different techniques.
I used this exact information today on a very similar lake in central California with similar conditions and lost two sizable largies and landed a couple footballs. It was exactly like this video … crazy! haha
Hey Matt I’ve been looking into getting a hudd. And I wasn’t sure what color to get since I don’t have trout in my lake
Awesome video man…it's nice to see a bank fishing video
Hey! That’s my lake. I’m glad it goes unnamed it’s quite the underrated resource for monster smallies. I can’t believe you caught any on the front I always catch the smallies on the sandbars in the outlet side. The smallest I’ve ever pulled out is 3lbs and I used to catch them on the fly.
I’m confused you said 12lb line. Description says otherwise.
Have you ever fished South Fork Resevoir in Elko, NV? Here now.
Matt Allen is the man this catches bigger bass than the pros all the time insane
How do you keep swimbaits from spinning when you cast
What lake is this?
On the road, Matt can’t wait to get back on the road again 🚌 😂
Topaz! I'm so glad you made this video gives me confidence out there
Nice football!!! Damn
I have yet to catch a bass on my 168 S-Waver in Lite Trout color. I throw it often when I’m on the boat but no luck yet. I’ll keep chucking it. Thanks TB!!!!
I’m surprised that heavy of a bait didn’t over power the 853
Great Info!!! Cheers!! :))
Dear Tactical Bassin',
Please make a video about finesse swimbaits. Thanks!
Nice slow pull one handed I’m on the phone retrieve! Guess that’s what they want sometimes.
That was so siiiicck!!!!! I was fishing a golf course pond with my 200 and man I can't put it down I caught a literal giant about two weeks ago and several other smaller fish but I didn't have my scale or my phone so it's just a fish story but man it was fun.. y'all should get some kinda discount at tacklewarehouse that was the best fifty I've ever spent
I have a fish bye. Lol
Great video as always. Just wondering how a fairly light rod like the one used can handle such much heavier bait than the rod is rated for?
I shore fish with swimbaits a lot and I also go swimming a lot, haha x). Great vid and tips!
Where in nevada? Or is it a secret if so I get ir
What lake is this guys??
Nice monster smallie Matt! I like fishing in the wind. Feeding frenzy!
awesome video. u guys should do MORE bank fishing videos !
Catches huge small mouth while talking on the phone! Boss status!
That's how you end a phone call
I feel like I have been there before, where is that lake and what is the name?
What do you do if you are throwing a technique in the wind where you have your rod tip up
Bam!
