A Day On The Water: Spring Fishing With Matt On Clearlake

[@charlesf4243]

Like the "Day on the water videos" !!

[@gowanusbridge1268]

Love how Matt casually throws a 4.5 pounder off the side of the boat like it's nothing😂. Great vid!

[@billljones979]

Great video as always tactical, all your videos over the yrs has definitely made me a better, more efficient angler, I'm like most , got a family 3 kids, wife, full time Job, so not a bunch of time to fish, but watching matt and Tim , has got me using the limited time I have fishing into catching more fish, thx to everyone in tactical, . Also Matt , Tim, I'm looking for a good versatile braid. That can be used for multiple techniques, not just one specific, do too limited space and rods, thx guys

[@jkfishing8661]

I still need the ice to melt!! I'm so jealous off all you 'open water' guys

[@scottkidder438]

I went out yesterday... I learned how to skip baits... off of 3 foot thick ice.

[@thegiant573]

So glad you made a 100% recovery good to have you fishing this year. Those fish were all butterballs, eating well!

[@willperryman4559]

Matt, I’ve watched you guys for almost 3 years and you amaze me at the way you work the crank of your reel, and the tip of your rod... That’s Killer Coordinations 👍😉👍🎣🤪 🔥💯 glad to see your subs growing so rapidly..

[@tylerheffernan67]

I can only imagine the time and work it takes to produce videos like this when you guys put out three a week. However, one of these a month beats all the others combined, easily. Ontario fans abound. Great video.

[@mtgs_calcifer]

Yes!!! Nothing more satisfying than seeing a master having the same struggles as us regular guys!! Lol been having to change techniques multiple times each time I've gone out all of March pretty much, love the video!

[@sjammer]

Can not wait to get to Clearlake.....

[@muskietime]

Fishing video loaded with great info.... again. Love it! Really appreciate you reporting on what you use with hyperlinks to the products. Thank you for all your efforts.

[@kellymoore4517]

That's what getting us here in the south, cold nights and dinghy water with mid 50's temps, beating the banks for the few movers.

[@みそラーメン-m4e]

catching solid fish! Wow!

[@dand2308]

Thanks Matt, missing my Clear lake fix. I'll be there the 3rd week of April with some new recommended products!

[@bmxrockers]

I love these videos where you guys go out and fish.Do more if possible!

[@johndoe-pb4mv]

Was at a Sac pond last weekend. That pond, the Bass are on red cranks. nothing else. got the school to start biting because of it. This happened due to the tip you guys gave a few weeks/months back about red cranks. Thanks! Keep it up.

[@shanonmetcalf3175]

Keep the knowledge coming I've learned a lot from you guys..

[@27hogue]

Rough day, hope it gets better I’ll be there in a couple weeks.

[@xymorph5233]

Great video!!! Before you start fishing a area like a flat or submerged vegetation do you use your electronics to verify that there are some fish on the flat or within the submerged vegetation, or do you go by instinct because you are familiar with the lake and the time of the year and just start fan casting. If you use your electronics can you do a video demonstrating how you use your electronics to find fish and then cast to catch the fish. Thanks guys, your videos are the best out there!!!!

[@MrMcHoodoo]

Awesome video Matt! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@m2m-minutestomidnightbassi925]

Caught my first Yum Flash Mob Jr fish yesterday. 43 degree water temps in No. Illinois. Actually the 2 biggest of the day came on it. Thanks for that tip! Matt, no red baits? It was over the magical 50 degree mark. I kept waiting for you to pull some out and start cracking them.

[@AdventurerAnthony]

M2M-MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT BASSIN I threw the red eye shad in chili craw the other day and smashed a good smallie..in clear water..I guess those bright red baits really do work magic haha. I don’t even own an A rig .....I should probably get on

Thank you very good clip. I am from Vietnam

[@GeorgiaBassmaster]

I've yet to catch any on the A-rig this year. Maybe ill give it another go today on the lake.

[@cocorkiller2322]

Cant say I've ever fished A-rigs... that's wild.

[@cocorkiller2322]

Catch a monster tho man! Ain't been back to Georgia in years.. but I'd trade in a second haha. We got freezing rain right now, snowed bout an inch.. yee haw be out there in a few weeks

[@GeorgiaBassmaster]

Jacob Harrington thanks man! Where do you live now?

[@cocorkiller2322]

@@GeorgiaBassmaster were up in chilly old Maine! Central Maine. But we do have some epic fishing! Huge bass and pike. Big Lakers. And some awesome natural brookies. Cant wait to get out

[@GeorgiaBassmaster]

Jacob Harrington awesome man, I’ve never caught a pike but I’ve always wanted to. We have a species called a “chain pickerel” down here that’s basically the cousin of the pike but doesn’t get anywhere near as big.

[@WillSelbyKayakFishing]

It's always a grind around this time it seems. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.👍🍺

[@ozwaldozarmiento5616]

More of this type of video information along with the action and a small information of what happens thanks Greetings From Sinaloa Mexico

[@clintmock5615]

I wish my local lakes were that quite in spring

[@tonylongwish6425]

Loved the mexico videos guys!!! Keep up the great work! Look forward to all the content and info you provide! Cheers guys🍻🍻🍻

[@MikeGoneFishing]

Awesome video brotha! Can’t wait to get back out on Clearlake this year

[@ILLUMINATHAN79]

Those ManBearPig’s are my new favorite soft plastic. I use a swing head with them.

[@BreauxMyGod]

These are always the best videos.

[@leeyarbrough9636]

They was alittle cold is all they came up for you finally. We was having same pattern on Pickwick Lake but they are firing now.

[@davidbaker9271]

Awesome video brother I'm going fishing this weekend going to try the a rig for the first time here in Kentucky

[@randynunez2569]

Dig the puffy jacket!

[@TresSeis]

Awesome, great fish. Excelente video.

[@vadimilin8167]

Great fishing! I love it. Envy!

[@331slash]

Really enjoyed this style of video

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Great video

[@samny562]

Love your video keep it coming. Wish you guys can do a tournament videos

[@jamesamaro]

Thnx matt

[@Mjones8383]

Matt, if you has to break down a shallow grass lake in prespawn water around 58 to 61, and you have never fished it where would you start. It's a big big lake with lots of grass submerged grass, bridges some docks but mostly too shallow and built with chain link fence around them.

[@kokomopro6394]

Have you ever done a video on line colors - also spray on bait scents??

[@briansowell184]

Fishing is fun.

[@Handberrydea]

Awesome video. Anyone else excited for spring??

[@ronaldmcdonald3965]

Junk fishing yesterday at a lake 120 miles south of Clear Lake. Threw everything at them with random results

[@john6649]

Can y’all do a video about the differences between plastic Crankbait and the balsa wood Crankbait ?

[@drumandball]

More videos like this

[@hunterman600cc]

Must be nice having lakes open now...

[@stevenpalomar6451]

Love these videos! You and Tim need to go on a lil comp to see who can catch the biggest on a A rig with a jerk and jig and a senko all on one a rig Haha jk

[@drippyglass5643]

You fish lake mendo much? Any tips would be amazing. So hooked on fishing since I got exposed. Just trying to learn as much as possible and build an arsenal! Thanks for the amazing videos!

[@Bassmaster_Ice318]

I'm going to fish the California Open in April/2020. How many rods should I bring and what other baits should I throw other than the A-Rig and a Jerkbait? What about Crankbaits and plastic worms like Senkos and Roboworms for spring?

[@paulkrieger4978]

Hey Mat, been watching ur vids for a very long time, and enjoy them. Will be traveling to Oregon in May. I live in San Diego and wonder do you still guide on clear lake? I am interested in going on a trip with you if possible

[@RJV-uu2jm]

Spent the day pulling fish from Puddingstone Reservoir and came home to tacticalbassin. Good day.

[@willivondewerft11]

Lovestory your Videos !greets frommen germany

[@Ridg76]

Out here in Northern Mexico, (southern ca) the bite so far sucks!

[@Tuscanygp]

That shirt is awesome 😎👍

[@jeffeckberg4099]

Matts brain: I'll put a bunch of different baits on my a-rig and see which one they like Fishes brain: there's some fish. I'll eat em now. Keep it simple.

[@jimwarden9617]

I like the seminar vids. But the just fishing vids are fun too. Keep a nice balance. Thanks. At what temp/season do you reach for the A-rig?

[@testme504]

Our water temps on our resivors in Maryland are 40-45 main lake an 45-48 up lakes. Still no fish in the creek arms even though its warmer. Fish are still on main points. Any info on the hook sharpening video? Still in the works? Great video as always.

[@adamsapple1982]

Would like to see a hook sharpening vid as well...

[@foreignbeggar3783]

man... I REALLY need a bass boat. i’m over basically only fishing ponds. I need to get out on the lake with the big boys. but damn. and where the timber was, why’d you cruise past it? why not get up in there where it’s thick at and see if any giants have staged up?

[@poststalone1496]

hateful Joey get a kayak! I mean if you can afford a bass boat by all means, but I love my yak

[@patrickudvarhelyi8924]

Would a Medium Heavy be good to use an A-Rig with? I'm going on a trip to Colorado and can only take my 2 piece rods.

[@Mjones8383]

Add these videos to the like list and KZbin will consistently guide you towards more fishing videos. Saying because at this time it has 710 views and 100 likes, cmon guys.

[@chrischambers8326]

I've got a quick question. Which reel is the better bang for the buck? Shimano Slx or Revo gen 4 ?

[@joshcope6190]

Matt do you all catch a lot of fish in 50 degree water in early spring on jerk bait and if so what colors? table rock shad?

[@chazhonaker2754]

Anyone else see the UFO in the back ground at 8:09..? Lol Bird maybe..? Seems awful bright whatever it is..

[@poststalone1496]

chaz honaker wtf was that lol

[@fishdisc7022]

What knot did you use for braid to hook for punching?

[@joshuayang6703]

Hey is it just me? Or has the newer G.Loomis have lost their sensivity? I mean their still very sensitive, its just that I had the original GLX and IMX rods before Shimano bought them out. But I ended up lending them to a buddy of mines and he had gotten into a accident that ended up breaking both rods(Thankfully he is still with us). Now I have the newer GLX and IMX pro and I feel that they are not as sensitive as the ones I had. It is just me or do other feel the same?

[@jabulanijonny]

What the heck knot were you tying on for the manbearpig?

[@jcp_2000]

@tacticalbassin i see you're using the new levante for your a-rig set up. Will you be doing a review on it?

[@andrew4806]

Wooo

[@amathis3244]

Just curious why you have a curado listed in the video description for your Alabama rig rod when in the video it looks like a zodias? Wasn’t sure if it was an accident or if the curado is your pick for Alabama rig rod now.

[@tacticalbassin]

That's a late night mix up 🤦‍♂️ But it's the exact same action/power rod offered through the whole line up. For an A-rig, it truly doesn't matter how high end it is like it would with a slow presentation.

[@25wsmfan56]

What knot did you use to tie that flipping hook on with

[@rrrr635]

I'm going through "Green Fish Withdrawal".

[@philipkennedy8085]

What was the flipping combo you used? Or your go to flipping combo? Rod Looked like an expride

[@tacticalbassin]

Expride 7'11" XH with a curado K

[@tylerleachman4133]

Awesome video, how would you fish lake Cumberland in 2 weeks

[@jamesamaro]

Thoroughly

[@lancedennison1309]

How far can you throw a A-rig I can bomb most baits can't throw it very far

[@Hextermorgan]

Hey Matt, love the videos, just wondering what you would choose for a crankbait rod. My local shop has the Tatula rods on sale and am stuck between glass and graphite. Are any preferred? Thanks

[@duanetheimer7215]

Try St. Croix Mojo glass. Just bought the 6'8 and the 7'4.

[@MySpinner]

Matt or Tim when fishing the s waver would you guys let it sink or no?

[@shtty17]

MyTopSpinner they literally have a "how to fish the s waver" video. If you search "s waver tacticalbassin" you will find it. Instead of asking in the comments and getting no answer you can do a minimal effort search and get an answer to your question in a fraction of the time. I've watched that "how to" vid on the s-waver idk how many times

[@throughtheroof5439]

Hey dude, awesome video! I was just wondering about your a rig, is it a Ken’s Barbarella?

[@MrEricdgreat]

I am the 147 👍🏽 I guess the one 👎🏽 guy has not woke up yet lazy 😆 great video bro always enjoy see you fish🎣

[@brettkallini4077]

Awesome video!! I’m 13 almost 14 and on Friday I made $150. I sold my aquarium. I’m going to use the money to stock up for spring fishing. Anything baits you would recommend getting?

[@4greenb]

seems like i can never get on a pattern this is how all my days have been since i started bass fishing this last october

[@georgeseci8240]

I love how you always wear flip flops, here in Australia we call them thongs and wear them all the time lol

[@outsidewithmike]

We used to call them thongs here in the US too until the "thong" bikini came along. I hate saying "flip flops". Sound like a dork ;)

[@timothymoriarty373]

Haven’t been on your site long Where is Clearlake..?.

[@pdbandit1]

North central California.

[@pelagicprincesses6123]

The jerkbait scene made me realize how much we miss TNT on the water!

[@marshmagiccadestafford5077]

Over by the Indian reservation I take it haha. Got a dude yelling at his dog at 4:39 Water wont be clear for long. Here comes some more rain. Poor in Yuba city right now 🙄

[@DanielSilva-on9ee]

Hey Matt,,, Danny Silva here on the A-rig how many can hv hooks on them....

[@outsidewithmike]

I believe 3 is the max for any bait IN CALI but I could be wrong. A-rig has 3 here and I believe 5 in Alabama. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[@skrewflanders]

Anyone else notice that Matt usually looks away right before a strike? Gonna have to start doing that haha

[@jacexiong]

Ghost minnow in that "stained" water?

[@AdventurerAnthony]

I thought the lake was closed ? Is it open now???!!!

[@tacticalbassin]

They never closed it just dropped to a 5 mph zone within 1/4 mile of shore.

[@AdventurerAnthony]

TacticalBassin okay thank you for the correct Information. I heard from some people it was closed. I heard about the no wake, because of water being up to people’s doors...next week has a few days of rain in the forecast how do you think that will effect the lake and the fish?

[@hightideadventures91]

👍👍👏

[@nicksb3]

winter jacket - sandals. must be California

[@tphvictims5101]

Why no orange or red lures? Or ned rigs?

[@B-Nana]

⚠️WARNING Clearlake residents please share with everyone you know ⚠️ Terri Horman is now Living in Clearlake California if you see her ask her WHERE KYRON HORMAN IS??!!!! She is now remarried going by the name Terri Vazquez Martinez

[@Jon-nz3dm]

That first fish literally looks like a football...never seen such a young short fish be so fat. Only on Clear Lake. So much bait on that lake.

[@dwightbateman3063]
