New Boat For 2021!! Aluminum Jet Boat!

Let’s go exploring! This aluminum boat has been Matt’s dream for 3 years! While fast bass boats and advanced technologies are important parts of bass fishing, there is something to be said for a basic aluminum that can run in skinny water, away from the crowds. Come along as Matt shows his new (used) aluminum boat and talks about where TacticalBassin is headed in 2021!

The boat is a War Eagle 1754 With a Yamaha 4 Stroke 70 HP motor. Its going to allow Matt and Tim to explore backwaters, ponds, rivers, and creeks, that could never be explored with the bass boat or even the kayak. They will be able to venture into new areas, reach untouched fish (hopefully) and take you along on all kinds of adventures! Matt is keeping the boat very simple. He’s installing a depth finder and a trolling motor so the guys can fish comfortably, but that will be the extent of the technology.

When its time for advanced videos, the guys will be in their bass boats. When its time to just go fishing and have a good time, they’ll be in the aluminum, and when its time to pick apart places that can’t be reached by either one, they’ll be in the kayaks.

Below you’ll find links to the handful of upgrades Matt is making to the boat, along with some of his favorite tools and equipment that he put into the boat for safety and reliability. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Buyer's Guide: Squarebills and Lipless Crankbaits For Every Season

Today’s Buyer’s guide is all about the reaction bite. In an effort to pack in as much information as possible, we’ve combined two of the largest crankbait categories into our final buyer’s guide of the season. We’re looking at shallow crankbaits for triggering a reaction bite, then switching gears to lipless crankbaits and exploring the best baits for fishing shallow grass flats, the best baits for deep water applications, and everything in between.

Choosing the right crankbait is a combination of 3 variables. First, do you want sound? Second, how large are the baitfish or crawfish you’re imitating? And finally, how deep (or shallow) do you need to reach? Answering these 3 questions will guide you to the best bait in your box, every time. From there, a small selection of colors is all you need to meet every situation.

Below you’ll find links to our favorite baits in every size and depth range. We’ve included our favorite colors, along with the rods, reels, and gear you’ll need to be successful on the water. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Matt's Cancer Surgery **Positive Update**

2020 was a brutal year for all of us! Matt and Tim both visit the dermatologist on a regular basis because of the amount of sun exposure they receive each year. After a clean bill of health early in 2020 Matt noticed a small spot on his cheek by late Summer. When it didn’t go away, he went to see the dermatologist. Sure enough, it was cancer. To be more specific, it was a Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Now for the good news, Matt is back to being cancer free! They found the spot before it metastasized (spread). He had a Mohs surgery done in Mid-December and is ready to get back on the water. We don’t tell you about his situation looking for pity, we tell you because we want you to take care of yourself! Many anglers don’t take skin cancer seriously and it takes a shock close to home to shake them up. We hope that Matt’s brush with cancer is close enough to get you to take it seriously!

When it comes to skin cancer, its not always obvious. Sure, it could be a big spot on your face that changes color and can’t be ignored. It could be a mole that suddenly changes size, shape, or color. But its much more likely it will be a scab that doesn’t go away, or even just a dry patch where you skin has a sandpaper-like feel.

No matter how it appears, “different” on your skin is not a good sign and you need to see a dermatologist. Skin cancers are very treatable when you find them early but extremely deadly when you wait. If you’re been wondering, its time to go in. Let Matt’s story encourage you to do the right thing and take care of yourself while there is still time. For the younger anglers, take the time to cover up now, it will save you a lot of pain later.

Below, we’ve linked a variety of sun garments that will help protect you from the sun. From long sleeve sun shirts that are incredibly cool, even in the Summer, to masks and gloves. Take it seriously and cover up so you don’t have to go down this rough road later. We’ve also included the names of a handful of tinted zinc-based sunscreens that will add another layer of protection between you and the sun’s rays.

Matt's Cancer Surgery **Positive Update**

2020 was a brutal year for all of us! Matt and Tim both visit the dermatologist on a regular basis because of the amount of sun exposure they receive each year. After a clean bill of health early in 2020 Matt noticed a small spot on his cheek by late Summer. When it didn’t go away, he went to see the dermatologist. Sure enough, it was cancer. To be more specific, it was a Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Now for the good news, Matt is back to being cancer free! They found the spot before it metastasized (spread). He had a Mohs surgery done in Mid-December and is ready to get back on the water. We don’t tell you about his situation looking for pity, we tell you because we want you to take care of yourself! Many anglers don’t take skin cancer seriously and it takes a shock close to home to shake them up. We hope that Matt’s brush with cancer is close enough to get you to take it seriously!

When it comes to skin cancer, its not always obvious. Sure, it could be a big spot on your face that changes color and can’t be ignored. It could be a mole that suddenly changes size, shape, or color. But its much more likely it will be a scab that doesn’t go away, or even just a dry patch where you skin has a sandpaper-like feel.

No matter how it appears, “different” on your skin is not a good sign and you need to see a dermatologist. Skin cancers are very treatable when you find them early but extremely deadly when you wait. If you’re been wondering, its time to go in. Let Matt’s story encourage you to do the right thing and take care of yourself while there is still time. For the younger anglers, take the time to cover up now, it will save you a lot of pain later.

Below, we’ve linked a variety of sun garments that will help protect you from the sun. From long sleeve sun shirts that are incredibly cool, even in the Summer, to masks and gloves. Take it seriously and cover up so you don’t have to go down this rough road later. We’ve also included the names of a handful of tinted zinc-based sunscreens that will add another layer of protection between you and the sun’s rays.

Buyer's Guide: Squarebills and Lipless Crankbaits For Every Season

Today’s Buyer’s guide is all about the reaction bite. In an effort to pack in as much information as possible, we’ve combined two of the largest crankbait categories into our final buyer’s guide of the season. We’re looking at shallow crankbaits for triggering a reaction bite, then switching gears to lipless crankbaits and exploring the best baits for fishing shallow grass flats, the best baits for deep water applications, and everything in between.

Choosing the right crankbait is a combination of 3 variables. First, do you want sound? Second, how large are the baitfish or crawfish you’re imitating? And finally, how deep (or shallow) do you need to reach? Answering these 3 questions will guide you to the best bait in your box, every time. From there, a small selection of colors is all you need to meet every situation.

Below you’ll find links to our favorite baits in every size and depth range. We’ve included our favorite colors, along with the rods, reels, and gear you’ll need to be successful on the water. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
