    I don’t think tacticalbassins video was saying all swimbait fishing is easy. He’s saying it’s not as hard as some people think and not to be intimidated by big baits.

      I’m not saying anything about the video, I’m just saying that the title might be misleading to some and that people might get the wrong idea of the title to actually watching the video. For me, I’ve watched tons of tactical bassin videos and a lot of them have them explaining why things are happening the way that they are. In this particular video, Matt didn’t sit down and have that 1-1 explanation of swimbait fishing in the winter so it threw me off.

      Tyler Love Skunking is a part of the game, I chose to fish swimbaits and understand that a lot of times you don’t catch anything, not catching fish just doesn’t surprise these days 🤷🏿‍♂️

    You hit the nail on the head! Matt knows things most people don’t. I know you’re not smashing em, I follow them too. I can’t even imagine possessing the angling knowledge and skills he does, it would take a fraction of the time it takes me to figure em out. Do you use a super low geared reel to creep your Hudd? It barely moves, not sure I could fish that slow. Keep hammering at em kid, you’ll figure it out. You put yourself out there, much respect, keep it up!!

    • @crazybassfisher
      @crazybassfisher  5 лет назад +1

      CA That’s what I’m saying! Matt is a god at catching fish on Clear Lake! Dude has been doing it for years now! For me, I don’t creep hudds or any bottom baits, I keep it at a slow pace that the bait stays on the bottom but at a speed that seems natural

  • @joshholt1513
    @joshholt1513 5 лет назад +5

    Just went back and watched the tacticalbassin video again. I guess it's all in how you take the context. To me he is saying the technique of throwing the huddleston in winter is easy not necessarily the catching of fish. He did say you have to put in the time but the bites will come. I do see where the title of the video can be misleading but if you follow tacticalbassin you know what lake they live on, you know they know the lake top to bottom and they know the fish's patterns for the different seasons. Therefore I didnt pay much attention to the title or context originally other then watching him catch and loose some fish on the hud.

    • @joshholt1513
      @joshholt1513 5 лет назад

      On another note. I like the videos you put out. Some of the people I follow show those skunk days and I like it because it shows that not every day on the water is lights out or not every fishery is lights out all the time.

    • @WeeWoo93
      @WeeWoo93 5 лет назад

      Kevin Zap I know I’m not him but I have both and I will tell you the hinkle is far more worth the money than the mother. Mother is way overpriced with paint that comes off very easily where as the hinkle is way more durable. Also there is just a special glide to a hinkle you just can’t recreate. Again just my opinion. Hope this helps if he doesn’t reply

  • @LunkerswithLandon
    @LunkerswithLandon 5 лет назад +1

    I follow them and watched that video too, I think he said he was dragging the Hudd over a hump with some rocks on it. I just went out today on foot and got lucky and caught a 2.5 pounder on a River2Sea S-waver when it was really windy and raining. Nice video, I agree with you, it's hard to get a good swimbait bite in the winter.

    • @crazybassfisher

    • @LunkerswithLandon
      @LunkerswithLandon 5 лет назад

      I really like the S-waver, it has a nice erratic action and you can do a lot with it, and it is pretty cheap. I really want to get a deps 250 slide swimmer for winter time glide bait fishing but they are a little pricey, especially for me, a fourteen year old with no real job. I just got my first swimbait set up, a daiwa lexa WN 300 paired with a dobyns fury series 8 foot 6 power rod, I did an unboxing video on it, and I got a few huddlestons and some magic mouses from G- ratt lures and I am going to buy some off their sneaky pete glide baits at the sportmans expo this coming January. Keep on slaying them out there man, tight lines.

    I have no swim baits, so, I can’t say if it’s easy or not, but I can say winter fishing can be tough. Five hours on the kayak on Christmas Day yielded absolutely nothing. Then 30 minutes from the bank yesterday, and landed a nice 3 pounder. There are so many variables, maybe someday I’ll figure it out. For now I’ll keep checking out your channel and others (i.e. TacticalBassin) for new ideas and things to try.

    To everyone who thinks this is disrespectful or hating on Matt, no one in their right mind would do that lol. I live in Washington State where our lakes are frozen, so Matt’s title is wrong (for my area) but I also recognize the fact it really depends on location and angler ability. For those starting out in the swim game, it’s easy to see fish catching and be discouraged. This video context is saying it ain’t always easy. Do work and continue to do work. It’s actually positive if ya’ll think about it for a sec...

  • @christiancolabelli
    @christiancolabelli 5 лет назад +1

    It seems like from every TB swimbait video I've watched (and I've literally watched them all) Matt gravitates toward the Hudd in the winter. I don't think he is throwing glides at all and it seems like he is fishing the Hudd on the bottom as slow as humanly possible. I think I recall from one of your earlier videos that you haven't had as much luck with slow rolling soft baits on the bottom, but prefer a straight retrieve. Maybe, try one session where you put down the glides and strictly stick to that tactic? I'm not saying it has worked for me. I've been skunked all winter on slow bottom rolled Hudds, glides and pretty much everything I throw. haha.

  • @SteveChenFishing
    @SteveChenFishing Год назад

    I totally agree w you bro. The water temp up north here in MA is 35/36 F. Super hard to catch a bass. I think Matt’s view doesn’t hold true in all states. I feel in your video water temp is still much higher than MA. You couldn’t get bites, I would just not bother with it. Thx for the video!

    Here I SD it's pretty easy to get on swimbait fish you just have to know the spots and what baits do better on certain Bodies of water. One of my favorite lakes that are crystal clear that have tons of DDs in them the only want Baitsmiths and topwater glide baits like the mattlures surface glide etc. But if you want to just catch fish and alot of fish on the swimbait there's a few lakes out here where the klash gets smoked more than any bait.

    Swimbait fishing and bass fishing in General up here in Oregon for the most part is extremely challenging due to the amount of rainfall we get and the fluctuating water levels and overall conditions ( water temps, and visibility) But on another note, I've caught my biggest fish in the winter here before it floods out. Everyone's "winter" is different even just along the west coast. I think Matt's title was a bit misleading, but his main point of the video is that it can be done if you put in the time.

      When it comes down to it, bass will see your bait as a meal, not a specific prey item. So you can throw a shad colored hudd at trout eaters and those fish will just look at it as an easy meal. I’ve caught hudd fish in places that don’t have trout and vise versa!

  • @tonyvang5238

    I'm sure matt is not saying that it's extremely easy (guaranteed) to catch bass in the winter with swimbaits. In general, i believe he is simply implying that if you go throwing swimbaits. You just fish it slow and steady without overthinking things... but hes not saying that you will catch bass everytime.

  • @H8er-Maker
    @H8er-Maker 5 лет назад

    Fishing for bass in AZ during the winter is exceptionally difficult. My 1st thought as to why is the water clarity. It's so clear & calm + it's usually a bluebird day. Honestly in my recent experience this winter I only seem to get bites on the initial fall (using underspin w/a split tail fluke style bait fish trailer. Ned rig is my best fish producer in the winter but it's so boring. In fact it's so boring I've picked up Carp fishing. And Im really enjoying it so far. Caught a huge Carp out of Anthem last Wednesday. I don't own a net scale yet but it was all of 20lbs & smelled like death. Good luck man, that's why it's called fishing not catching.

Matt has shown in other content the theory behind it. This is a video proving it. Your experience is not to Matt’s level. Keep grinding to figure out your fishery. Your content has a lot of trend following. Fishing the same baits all the time will not produce Matt and tactical bassn show more Versatility. Throwing the same bait over and over is like trying to force the fish to eat it instead of adapting to figure out with the fish want. Just my opinion keep on fishing and learn to adapt good work.

      A lot of Tactical Bassin's older videos are definitely swimbait related. If you watched them over the last couple years, they have made it easier for all different types of bass fisherman. You have to remember that Matt is a guide so he is going to get his clients on fish. With the amount of time Matt and Tim have put on the water, seminars, tournaments and all around time and effort fishing they deserve everything they get. They put a lot of time to get those links and sponsorships. It's awesome that they get compensated and still put out videos talking about techniques and tackle to catch fish of a lifetime. It's what they do to make ends meet and get to take trips all around the states showing us that the products and techniques catch fish everywhere. They started out just like Crazybassfisher prior to RUclips! Think about that for a minute. Look at everything they do for Tackle Warehouse, River2Sea, Shimano, GLoomis,(Dobyn's previously and still) and Dirty Jigs. I think they do more than pro's do due to their exposure on RUclips! It's pretty damn cool that we get to watch all of the guys putting video's out on RUclips to learn new techniques and tackle that we may not know about prior. Hell, even the Googan guys are out making money because they put the time and effort into it from the start. Alright, I'll stop ranting. I give all the guys credit for getting to do what they love for a living.

    Totally got the point of this video . Solid upload . Just got skunked 3 swimbait trips in a row , on a very very good lake . Catching big fish is easy if you’re near them and they are hungry .

    Ok, I never comment on videos but now is my time. I've been into bass fishing for a few YEARS now (4) and I've NEVER caught a bass (stripers don't count) after donating ribs and teeth to tackle warehouse!!!!! The grind continues...I'm gonna get a gopro and show how much it sucks. You guys be glad you hook up as much as you do. Oh bank fishing sucks too.

    its called "fishing" not catching i feel like that's a thing most fishermen nowadays refuse to accept, i appreciate it because it teaches me patience and new tactics. Im not ranting im just saying people need to get used to going out and not catching fish and then they'll enjoy fishing more and also we dont all fish world class fisheries either so we cant be like most youtube fishermen too.

Of course to a professional guide like Matt, winter swimbait fishing can be easy, but to guys that aren’t sticks like him, winter swimbait fishing can be tough so we don’t want people getting the wrong idea of the whole fishing in swimbaits thing. I chose to fish swimbaits understanding that I might not catch a fish for a whole season, I have already accepted that🤣 not hate/shade/salt is in this video at all.

    Most advice I ever took from tactical bassin did not work out for me at all. No joke. Often my experience is very different or even the opposite of what they say. Including losing fish on baits like hudds following their advice. I gave up trying to take advice from them. Remember also they’re business men as much or even more than they are anglers. Tackle warehouse number one affiliate. Over complicating the ish out of fishing one technique at a time, then sending you to the warehouse to buy the gear is top priority as it’s their livelihood. iiwii.

    To be fair, your title which is a direct shot at Matt's is misleading as well. You never really explained why generally winter fishing isn't easy. You posted one sunny trip, chopped up the video, threw some filler footage in, and said it's tough b/c you went out for 10hrs and didn't catch anything. I thought this vid was going to be true to it's title in describing what truly makes winter time swimbaiting tough but it's turned out to be a debate on someone else's video title

    I see it both ways, Tactical is probaly trying to make it sound better, when I’m reality it is hard no matter who you are. There just trying to get more people to get into swimbaiting. But then people that go out there and grind all day and not get a bite, it’s misleading to them. He might really think it’s easy he might not but that’s how I see it. It’s the the context you see it in. His winter is different than others and he has Great Lakes to fish. I personally don’t think it easy. Just think about it both ways👍🏽good video btw

    No hate, i definitely know the struggle of putting time, effort, and money into slinging swimbaits and rarely getting bit. Matt is a Godfather in the SB world. Where he is located, his knowledge, and hard work is why he gets bit like that. I seen the video when it was posted and sarcastically mocked it. Cuz i know for me SB fishing isnt that way, im not in a good location for fish like that but i dont bitch about it. Geoffrey's just annoyed with all the work he puts in with no results, i totally get it, but homie even if there's giants there, its not where hes at. It really is that easy for him and people at his level. I get annoyed watching these newbs to fishing/RUclips and buy a SB for clickbait and have know idea what they have in their hand. Then they go out and catch more and bigger fish than i have and ive been grinding hard for years. Its simply your fishery and it sucks ass but thats really it. Much love for you bro, my bestfriend and i love your vids, just keep your head up and when you finally get the one, itll be bitter sweet.

    The saltiest video I have ever seen coming from an established RUclipsr. It was all about being confident throwing the big bait and for people to stop over thinking it and just go out and fish. He’s preached for years about people over complicating it. He sticks fish all over the country. Giants all over the country at that. Being salty is not the answer. Watch more of their content, you might learn something.

Obviously I know that Matt has spent a lot of time fishing Clear Lake and knows that lake very well. If anything, I was shocked that he didn’t explain anything which is kind of something tactical bassin is known for. But hey, you can take what I say as hate/shade, I have explained myself to the best of my ability.
