BEST BAITS!! Bassmaster Fishing 2022 Best and Most Productive Baits

[@abart642]

Nice to see you add that purple worm in there!😁

[@amedeus40k]

Thanks for the video. You might consider talking about bass fishing in general. Things like when fish tend to go shallow, and why.. How does water temperature affect how you fish. Answer questions as to why the fish seem to try and stay at a certain depths around structure. Fishing off points, and drop offs, etc. The game does take these things into account, so knowing bass habits would be educational, and I think helpful to novice bass fishermen. I haven’t fished in real life for many years due to health issues, but I was raised on bass fishing, and before I ever got out into a boat I was given a few books and was told by my father that I had to understand bass habits, and their habitat really well if I wanted to be successful at it. Just a suggestion. Thanks again and I look forward to the next video.

I try to do this as much as possible. At first I thought a lot of these factors would come into play when this game came out. But so far, the only things that have contributed to catching more fish in the game are finding the hotspots and then figure out what water temp, time of day those hotspots are good, and what baits are most effective. A lot of the hotspots have different times they are good and also, depending on the water temp, fish will move a little bit within the area of the hotspots. All of those factors obviously are huge deal when it comes to real life fishing. I’m a tournament angler so those are things I think about all the time. But, like I said, everything other than what I mentioned really hasn’t affected catching fish in the game.

[@amedeus40k]

@@austinbartholomewfishing8906 Hmm... well that's disappointing. I honestly thought the game did more than that. Wishful thinking on my part I suppose. :(

[@jamesbarker5262]

Good information, can you cover more of the beginning lures and how to use them? Thank you.

[@chicodiamond4222]

I would appreciate a video on what loadouts are needed for each lake

[@austinbartholomewfishing8906]

I just use the same baits for every lake pretty much. There are a few baits here and there that will catch fish on some lakes but not on others but for the most part, the baits in the video are proven to catch the bigger bass in every lake

[@CFMRocks]

Neat Video. Just picked this game up to Calm the itch to go fishing at times I cant. Thanks for sharing

[@noah_Naylor01]

Thank you you helped me a lot

[@ryancairo1851]

I am having a tough time on the first weight tournament in the elite series. Three rounds…90 minutes of frustration.

[@austinbartholomewfishing8906]

Which lake is that again? I can't remember for some reason

[@Scot-land]

anyone know witch baits work well for big pike and muskie

[@needThaiForexTrading]

Very Very Helpful

[@adeyt205]

great video thanks. Can you tell me when i should use carolina and texas rigs , what fish would i use them for

[@jackmayhofr]

I'm struggling badly on the st john's in every aspect. I have the radar dotted with fish and I cover a 360 perimeter and come up with nothing. What are the lures I should be using. Any advice would be greatfully appreciated. Frustrated.

[@austinbartholomewfishing8906]

For me, I almost exclusively throw the Tremor Shad with a 1/4 oz drop shot weight on every single lake in the game. Most other species won’t touch it but the bigger largemouth love it. If you’re seeing fish on your radar even while standing on the front of the boat there should be fish around you somewhere, like you said, just keep fishing all the way around your boat until you find them they’ll all be grouped up together. Also try different casting powers if you haven’t already sometimes they might be right under the boat or a full cast length away. As for the St. John’s, I have a video on my channel with hotspots and every one of the spots I have put always has fish somewhere in the general area. Hope that helps!

I catch a ton on lake chickamagua with a balsa wake chartreuse shad crank bait

[@jamesdiviney3868]

Probably a dumb question but I've been having problems buying soft plastics most of the time the option doesn't even come up. Am I doing something wrong ?

[@austinbartholomewfishing8906]

That’s weird, I personally haven’t had that happen yet! I would maybe get in contact with Dovetail or join their community Discord and there are multiple developers and community managers on there that can help you out!

[@darrellfelts8895]

Don't know if you figured it out or not but I have to put on a weight before I can add soft plastic lures

[@jprivett70]

Hey man, can you help explain the weather / time of day setting? It’s got increments of 1 hour, 3 hours, etc. just curious! Thank you! I subscribed!

[@joelbraddock7498]

Nice vid!!!!!!

[@rockcreek44]

This may be a dumb question, but why are you throwing the trap on a spinning rod? And even worse 7 lb line? That's asking for trouble in real life. Apparently the game doesn't care? Serious question. Your hotspot videos have been really helpful. Thank you!

[@rockcreek44]

Also why are throwing the jenko swimbait on a spinning rod and braid? I feel like it would work much better on a medium heavy rod with a baitcaster and 14 to 20 lb fluorocarbon. Braid floats and fluorocarbon sinks. I think the name of the game is getting that bait down there as quickly as you could especially when you only have 30 minutes to fish. I know this is a video game but in real life there's absolutely no way I would throw either of those setups. I feel like they're just asking for trouble. Again thank you for your content I really do enjoy it. By the way you might want to try throwing the 3/16 oz drop shot with a yum dinger. I've had some decent succes with it lately especially on guntersville and the St. Lawrence River. Another decent bait for me on the drop shot is the big t fry daddy. Like I said probably wouldn't throw either of them on a drop shot in real life but they work fairly decent in the game. Thanks again and good fishing!

[@austinbartholomewfishing8906]

Ya tbh the line/reel/bait combos don’t really matter in the game. From what I’ve seen none of it has much of if not any affect on the rate of fall, action, etc. IRL I’d have it all rigged different but in game there really isn’t much of a difference to me as far as braid and fluro. As far as throwing some things on a spinning rod I just feel more comfortable using the spinning rod since the rod actions and stuff don’t seem to matter. Glad you’re enjoying the videos man!

[@AlabamaBassin]

It does matter in game. I bet if we both hooked up on a dd I'm bringing mine into the boat first using my baitcaster and Xtra heavy rod that doesn't have a soft backbone. I horse my bass in on 50lb braid and rarely break off or lose the fish unless they run into the bank. You'll also have perfect hook sets with a better setup which allows you to horse them in faster. Great video for baits though I use a lot of them plus a few more.

Any Tips On Trouts

[@austinbartholomewfishing8906]

Unfortunately I do not. I really just go after bass

[@adamcreekmore9853]

@@austinbartholomewfishing8906 Thank You Anyways Man

[@piazzadriver]

i see some of your line's are 7lbs. would it benefit to up to 14 or 20 lbs

[@austinbartholomewfishing8906]

The line size doesn’t really matter in my opinion. As long as you utilize the drag system you should be fine. But on the other hand I don’t think the line size affects catching fish either as far as getting less bites so I think it’s more just personal preference!

[@rebeldawg6920]

good video

[@austinbartholomewfishing8906]

Thanks!

[@anitarobinson1065]

How do I change lures

[@austinbartholomewfishing8906]

I believe it is the left arrow on your D-Pad on the controller and then you can choose different rods with different baits

[@kindellaharris8815]

What’s a good night setup

[@theyellowjersey]

No baits actually matter they’re all based on a minimum/maximum rate that bigger fish bite on. For consistent big bass just use tremor shad, glidesdale, or jenkolistic. The game isn’t as in depth as this video appears to be. Plenty of videos on my channel and you can always ask if you need help.

[@duntz5561]

cover these nuts

[@TtvChippytosmooth]

What lake is that

[@Neznug]

How do you switch rods? What is the command???

[@austinbartholomewfishing8906]

Should tell you what button it is in the bottom right corner, I want to say it is the D-Pad on your controller so either up, down, right, or left

[@mitchelltheawesome1]

No way

[@nolanschwarting1312]

these videos are so inspirational I bought the dan game

[@austinbartholomewfishing8906]

😂😂

[@AlexTaylor10000]

Why do you only use the 7lb sniper line? I find the 14lb has been working much better for bass specifically

[@rudygallegos7736]

Why is it that I catch those damn strip bass I mean I cought a 56Lb please help....

What's the best load out for largemouth bass as well as spotted bass and small mouth bass

i may have to start playing this game

[@austinbartholomewfishing8906]

It’s super fun, I highly recommend it if you’re into fishing! It’s got it’s flaws, but it will just keep getting better as they continue to fix things in the game!

My sons first cast be caught a 14lb 4oz… after I tried to catch fish for 10mins with no luck, he’s little ass came over saying let me try and bam!

[@manuelperez6107]

Oh and he’s catching 8lbs and 6lbs left and right, erratically twitching and reeling. SMH
