Grass Fishing Tricks For Summer! You NEED These To Catch MORE Fish!

- Grass fishing can be EASY! Learn the tricks to reading expansive grass beds and start catching fish right away! In today's video we drop into a lake for the first time in 6 months (never been there in Summer) and starting catching big bass RIGHT AWAY! You can do this too!
So many anglers are intimidated by lakes that are full of grass. Its easy to roam around for hours and never even see a fish. However, if someone shows you how to break down a grass flat you'll immediately see it in a new light. Edges suddenly become defined, grass types stand out, and fish become incredibly predictable! Don't let grass intimidate you any more!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits we used on the water. We've included the exact sizes and colors to help you catch more fish in similar situations. We're also including our "favorite colors" that we use around the country to help adapt these same techniques to your local waters. Additionally, we're including the key combos (frog, swim jig, chatterbait) that helped us get key bites and successfully land those fish despite the heavy grass.

#bassfishing #chatterbait #topwater
you guys crack me up! You looked like synchronized swimmers when you saw the fish blow up at 32 sec into the vid.
Lol the did
Guys what was the trailer on the chatterbait?
@@jimjarvis888 The one I saw looked like a HogFarmer Spunk Shad 4.5" or maybe 5 " one.
Man that was the sickest into ever!! Matt I’m glad you have fast reflexes lol Tim almost took your head off with that hookset at 0:51 seconds 😂😂😂
A lot of times when Matt catches a fish you hear that laugh that reminds me of a subtle super villain laugh lol.
After all y’all’s success it’s really cool to see that you two guys are still “fishing-buddies “.
I love some tactical bassin before I have to clock in. Thanks uploading early!
Man you guys gave me a good laugh when both of you started reeling in like a maniac as soon as that fish blew up
It was like they were racing to catch that fish that blew up to the left of them.
They wanted that fish 😂😂😂
The beginning was one of the funniest intro clips I’ve ever seen it almost looked sped up the only thing that reacted was your hands just cranking as fast as can be 🤣😂😂😂
Thanks guys for putting the lure and color used in the video in parentheses!
With all the bullcrap going on in the world watching yall and going fishing keeps me sane so thank you for that
Come to Virginia beach and do some bank fishing or kayak fishing
Imagine having either of these 2 for a Grandpa or uncle or dad...
Or just be a humble RUclips subscriber = Set for life in the field of angling. Thanks guy's for the priceless knowledge 💯🤘🎣
Y’all fish together as a team. I like the way y’all move on the boat. Always aware of each other. Very cool to watch.
Can every student agree this is the best way to start the first day of School??? 😃🔥🎣
These guys are so helpful. Between their RUclips videos and picking the brains of a few of my friends, I've gone from someone who used to get skunked 4 times out of 5 to an angler that usually catches 5-15 fish EVERY TIME! 🔥👊🤨
Fishtory class is in session
Headwaters is just such an awesome place to fish!!!
Does look like Headwaters... I'm just trying to figure out where there were toward the end of the video with so much open water. Maybe over east by the pits?!?
That 1st double up though 😍
Matt: "That's a big one, get the net!
Tim: "I've boat flipped smallmouth bigger than that"
Tim boat flipped that 9lber on an a rig remember!!
@@BrownBaitCo I do. Matt's face cracks me up every time I see that video
@@frankh2213 yeah! It was so funny! These guys just make the best content on youtube the instant I see Tactical bassin on my notifications I INSTANTLY click it!
@@BrownBaitCo Completely agree. It's just no nonsense info and it's good info. I have yet to try a new technique that hasn't worked to some extent. It may be cheesy but I really have caught more fish and bigger fish because of these guys.
@@frankh2213 no man it is not cheesy I have become a MUCH better angler because of them! but I am kind of angry because they have made me into a tackle junky! I spend wayyyy to much on tackle but that is a right of passage for anglers lol ha ha I am trying to do the same thing they are doing with my fishing channel
That Hog Farmer Spunk Shad Ghost Minnow scared the crap out of me one night. I didn’t know they glowed in the dark. Thanks guys!
Seeing you two back on the boat warms my heart. These are awesome times.
Have you guys ever thought of raffling off a fishing trip to a subscriber before? It would be so awesome to get to fish with you guys. You would learn so much on the water with you guys!
Great job on this video, love Florida fishing!!
U guys are just AWESOME together thanks!!!! Wishing I was fishing instead of working all weekend but watching y'all is the closest I'll get until next weekend. I can smell em from here
We were thiiiis close to seeing Tim bump Matt into the drink. Lol. Great stuff as usual, guys.
Wish I could spend a day fishing with y’all. I’d learn so much and catch fish at the same time.
Your fishing chemistry is so on point. The first catches. The way you guys duck under and work over each other is impressive. Me and my brother hit rods all the time when sharing a deck hahaha
Awesome vid you guys. I’m not a very good grass fisherman that’s why I find it hard to catch fish on those hot summer days. I usually fish out deep. Going to go out next time with some more confidence on the grass
Well that start was 0 to 100 out of the gate. Love what you guys do. Thanks for all the help over the years... Tom
Love you guys. Especially in "overrated fishery" Florida...
Good to see you guys on the boat together. Haven't seen that much lately. Good Stuff as always.
My son at 6 watches you guys tooooo much he reels in that fast as soon as he hears a fish jump somewhere this is hilarious😂😂😂
Love how you guys explain everything. You guys need to make a VIDEO on OLD HICKORY LAKE TENNESSEE..
Love the fishing videos especially with you both in the boat.
Awesome content! Best show on the net.
Great video looks like so much fun. Florida look like a lot of fun
Unreal as usual fellas! Super jealous. Love the swimjig bite! Keep em coming. Been fishing in buffalo my whole life smallies galore I get to alot of ponds full of cheese been on a topwater bender for a coupe weeks its somethin different when they get it they GET IT
Big Thumbs up 👍 on thanking the fish 🤜🤛
0:31 was so funny when you guys saw the blow up and both of yall reeled in really fast to cast over there haha! You guys reeled in sync too lol!
Great video, thanks guys 🤙
Love videos like this reminds me of the California Delta!
Never mind fellas found it on your post
Hey Matt and Tim,
So many others talk about hot summer fishing by dragging large worms along the bottom. Yes, worms work. But I listened to your suggestions on “power fishing” in the heat and went to a grassy bay on Lake Champlain this evening. I started with a 6th Sense swim jig in bluegill color, with a blue/black flake Baby D-Bomb trailer from Missile. It took only 5 minutes to catch my PB smallmouth bass. 20 inches in length and 3.39 pounds. My scale read over 5 pounds at first. Then I re-tared it and the weight dropped. It felt more like 5 in my hand. Whatever.
Thanks!
Rafa
Wow that was awesome! Gotta get myself down there to Florida to catch some of those beasts!
Great info! I’ve been struggling trying to punch the pencil reeds, when I need to concentrate on the areas between the reed and the edges. I figured because it was too shallow and exposed for them to be there.
It’s the roots under water that’s key in this situation. OR the wind that’s blowing against that bank/area/under water bar is creating CURRENT in the water that can clear up the bottom or color the water. Either which is the case it can favour a bass to station/ feed there.
Thanks for sharing
Giving out the goods as always!
HAHAHA!!! Matt's laughing when he caugh a fish LOOOL Good vid boys!!!
We cant see most of your reel work from the behind camera view, would be cool if you could put a camera on the trolling motor so we could watch you guys reeling from the front. Have to be picky because you guys are the BEST. Thanks
Good timing! Tough grass bite at the moment for me. Good tips!
Thanks for the tips and the confidence! Never stop fishing! Please Hud vid soon! Lol
This is great, non-stop action. Have you guys ever fished the southeast NY reservoirs?
Smashed em boys 💪🏻😎
Another awesome video with some great tips!! You guys make such a great team!!! Love it when you guys can get together and fish. Can't wait for another unedited fishing adventure with you guys!!!
Per usual, loved the video. Always nice to see you two fish together. But… any idea when we’ll be able to see the Amazon content from last year???
Keep up the great work
I wish you guys would try fishing in New England - I’d love to see how you’d do
Looks like Headwaters again! Next time y'all are in my neck of the woods, I wish I'd know so I can have a chance to meet up with y'all, shake hands, and maybe talk some Florida bass fishing...
Man I love the sound of those metanium dc reels.
That DC song at 3:35. 👌🏼
I saw just enough wind to flap your pants and shirts. That makes a huge difference in Florida. I'm not a worm dragger unless I have to be
Love the Jackhammer and the Swim Jig, too. Put the Ultrex down and keep moving. Very nice video.
Right off the back, watching you guys both crank in your baits to cast to the blow up! 🤣
Great tips as always! 🔥
Would love to see you guys fish the Mississippi pool 8-10.
Haha when that fish blew up in the beginning you guys realed in so fast to try and beat the other one to the punch that was hillarious
That ducking reflex at 0:50 tho.
Love the content! Any tips on how to fish Guntersville AL in August?
👀👀Love seeing you boys put down the hammer 🔨 🔨
Awesome day.
I was up in Michigan last week and I used a chatter bait with a rage baby menace. I would pop it up and let it fall, pop and fall, worked like a charm! I am curious though, if you are using a chatter bait swim jig is it best to constantly reel it in so you get the swim action? The one I was using had more of a round head so I used it like a jig that I would pop up and down on the bottom. Seemed to work like a charm. Just wondering how other anglers use the different chatter baits.
That was a sick intro 🥰
I see the Orochi Brallist mentioned in a few videos recently. Would you kindly advise what the action is and why you liked it for chatterbaits of all things as I thought this to be a jig rod. Thanks
Matt:;.. do you throw braid to leader most of the time on your baitcasting set ups? Because I swear I hear that knot coming through the guides almost every vid I see u fishing in. 🤔🤷... I'm just asking for a friend..lol. no really just wondering if that's preference or is there reason!?! Thanks and u guys stay safe. Tight lines always ✌️
Another fantastic video 🥴
The evil Matt laugh to start the day! 🙌🏽
Drives me crazy. Getting old.
It's the way he talks and laughs. He can't help it. Sounds like you're jealous because you can't catch fish.
@@onfootbassin I love Matt and Tim. Been watching them since 15. Just not the laugh.
Great video! Do y'all ever make it down to any Alabama fisheries?
I love hearing their leader knot tick against every eyelet on their rods
Can you guys do a video on the new 13 envy black 3?
Hey Matt. I was wondering if you could give some info on wake baits. I've asked before and don't want to aggravate. But I have several that has never been wet. I'm not sure the time or place and haven't found a vidio on it
Nice!
matt, thank you for going old school and going back to teaching. i missed the indepth analytics you provide on the water for a new angler.. thank you
Bass be hiding in the grass! Time to smash!
Is it possible for us to go on a fishing guide with you guys ???!!!!
Please do a spinning rod video ASAP 🙂
Cool
I fish shasta lake in redding ca. and lately the water is so low when i go into coves off the main arms Im not getting many bites as if Im fishing off the main arms themselves Im wondering if water is so low its hotter in the small coves? use to be able to catch fish anywhere on the lake this year it sucks.
Tips on how to find fish after they spray the lake??
Bite was tough here this morning, shutdown basically. All last week, everyday I was able to go early in the morning and get plenty of action but, this morning it was dead. Nothing moving, nothing hitting the surface, only saw one minnow swimming around the whole time I was there. But- I did get a puppy- someone threw out two 3 pups about 3 months old- look like huskies I think. I took one and managed to get someone else to take the toner two- she's laying here beside me now, asleep. Poor thing ad a tough morning- someone threw her out, I picked her up, took her to the vet, she got shots, worm meds, and looked over by several different ppl- and then drove about an hour to get her back here- her new home. She's pretty freaked out. Acts like she may not feel that great- which wouldn't surprise me after all that medicine. She was playing with my pants legs while I was fishing though, she'll bounce back pretty quickly. Now I have to figure out what to name her.
Sounds like you made quite the catch after all. Albeit unintentionally. Good on you!
Good job thanks for being a good person
That might be the best catch you’ve ever had!
@@mattseifert She's amazing- I named her Silva and she's quickly becoming the best fishing partner I've ever had.
I’ve had times when the grass is super thick or more like weeds in the water and even if I throw a weedless bait it will still get all caught up on the head or if I throw a lipless and try to rip it threw it fouls the bait and comes in sideways
I love fishing grass line while my buddy smoked and the line he snore them......lol
Would these techniques work for thick Lilly pads to
As someone who has never fished from a boat, you guys always seem to land fish on the same side. Is there any reason to this?
@5:45 it’s got part of its back fun missing wonder what happened 🤔
Chatter bait on blue bird day ?
Tim's fishing a worm. Lol
What lake are you guys fishing in this video?
Hi!!
👍
3:50 Come out with your fins up!
It's always summer for Florida bass.
Tim has a backlash? 12:22
Headwaters Lake.
How did you get a Perfect Frog?????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 By the way what are your thoughts on it?
You must have missed last week's review video. Definitely go back and check it out 👍 We were able to grab the frog at ICAST and they're pretty nice!
I will take a morning power fishing and get 1 blow up over slow dragging a worm to catch 5 any day.
Omg,whopper poppers still catch fish?
