Matt and Tim are BACK! Exploring a New Lake! (Chickamauga)

After 6 grueling trips across the country, Matt and Tim are finally back on the lake together! They’re exploring Chickamauga in the middle of a Summer rain storm. Come along as they find new water, adapt to changing conditions, and catch bass on topwater and reaction baits.

A lot of anglers are intimidated by rain. Some don’t want their equipment soaked, others aren’t sure what to throw when its raining. Today the guys explain why they’re throwing different baits and how the conditions are impacting their choices. Its a unique look into both angler’s mindsets as they are adapting to changing conditions on new water.

While both anglers stuck to reaction baits throughout the day, they both downsized their offerings to get consistent bites. Matt leaned toward topwater while Tim leaned toward swimbaits and tail spins. Below is a breakdown of the baits and equipment the guys were using to catch their fish. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

We Made It To Chickamauga! Topwater Bite Is On Fire!

We’re finally on Chickamauga in Tennessee! We survived the cross country road trip and now its time to fish! We’re starting out in search of a midday topwater bite and will adapt from there. Do that patterns that work on one side of the country work on the other? Let’s find out if the Clearlake pattern holds up!

Matt is joined by his nephew Ethan and together they mix up a variety of topwater offerings including a blade waker, buzzbait, walking bait, popper, and frog. It doesn’t take long to find aggressive bass willing to eat them all! Later Matt switches to a Keitech while Ethan switches to a chatterbait, and again they find consistent action. This further confirms the old adage “A Bass Is A Bass” no matter where it lives.

So many anglers are convinced their fish are different, that they won’t eat a particular bait or won’t follow seasonal patterns like bass in other parts of the country. While a rare example might exist, the vast majority of fish from coast to coast behave very Similarly. Its incredibly rewarding to drive thousands of miles (literally) and find bass eating the exact baits you were throwing before hitting the road.

Below is a breakdown of the baits in the video. We’ve included direct links to Tackle Warehouse for each item where you can see detailed photos and descriptions. We’ve also included trailers, color, weights, etc… where applicable.

Summer Bass Fishing Gear Review! New Baits, Tackle, and Equipment This Summer!

Let’s take a look at some of the best new gear for this Summer! From new crankbaits to worms, trailer accessories to reels, we’re covering it all! This review is a selection of products from a variety of brands that have been making a difference in our fishing lately. Some items are brand new to the market, others have just recently had a positive impact in our fishing and earned a place in the review.

You may have noticed that our recent videos have not been from our home state. We’re back out on the road, traveling the country, and exploring new places. We’re coming to a lake near you, trying new gear, catching new fish, and continuing to grow our angling knowledge so we can help you become a more consistent angler as we share that knowledge. In the spirit of road tripping, we’ve recently had a lot of positive experiences with our boat and trailer upgrades so today Tim begins with a series of trailer upgrades that have been impacting his fishing in a positive way.

Boating/Trailer Equipment…
-Moto Stop Transom Saver (Yamaha): http://bit.ly/2SCCwW4
-DD26 Transom Saver (Mercury): https://bit.ly/2BfaZlC
-TH Marine Steer Stop- https://bit.ly/2Sc5Ikg
-Fulton F2 Series Trailer Jack: https://bit.ly/2YHEB34
-Fulton F2 Series Winch: https://bit.ly/3frtFx8
-Spare Boat Buckle Winch Straps (Loop End): https://bit.ly/2BgnOw1

Its no secret that we’re both tackle junkies. When new gear comes out we’re always quick to give it a try. We’re constantly fishing new brands, new baits, and new equipment. With Covid creating supply chain issues across the fishing industry we’ve been reaching even further to try new baits and gear while some of our favorites are sold out! These are a few of the items that have stood out for us in recent months. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and product descriptions of each item.

Baits…
-Megabass Z Series Z-1 Crankbait: https://bit.ly/2Y9dkHB
Favorite Colors: Mat Craw 2, PM Hot Gill 2, Kasumi Ito

Gear…
-Shimano Bantam Metanium MGL 150 B: https://bit.ly/34HlAAk
This reel is AWESOME for the price! If you’re looking for a new high-end “do everything” reel this is it! Today’s video is just giving it a quick stamp of approval because there is a dedicated review of just this reel coming in the future. We didn’t care to be first on a review, we wanted to really break this reel in and see how it did over time… more to come on that very soon.

-Sunline FC Structure Fluorocarbon Line: https://bit.ly/2UMO73N
This line is designed for fishing around structure. Big Worms and Jigs, deep water, etc… is what they had in mind when designing this. Its been on the market for a couple years but I’m just giving it a fair shot now and so far I’ve been very impressed.
