Post Spawn Transition: Where Do Bass Go And How To Catch Them! (Advanced Bass Fishing)

[@onfootbassin]

Just caught my PB smallmouth bass at 5lbs 2oz in a small New Jersey river about an hour ago from the shoreline. I'm still shaking. She ate a dark sleeper off of a bed. I've learned a lot from tournament fishing and reading, but I've learned an awful lot from you guys. Thank you, tightlines, and stay well.

[@TWC6724]

Congratulations brother

[@brianwills4398]

Congratulations 🎉 I've never even seen a smallmouth.. don't have them where I fish. Tim and Matt pour years of experience into these videos. We're all very grateful ,🤙

[@tacticalbassin]

Way to go!! 🙌 That's a monster Smallie, especially from a river!

[@crowwing9322]

Hell yeah brotha !! New Jersey here my self south Jersey haven’t landed a biggie yet

[@dangerously72]

Awesome....my father caught a 2lb 4oz smallmouth on Monday on a small lake we often fish and it was quite big for our area (central WV). Nothing better than a catch that gets your heart thumping. Congrats!!

[@stormhunted]

My favorite place to be in the morning!

[@fishinwithfinn]

You should do a video on post spawn in small lakes and ponds

[@diezelsmoke]

Love the editing Tim. When ypu had the fish flashback and in goes into the clip. Great job!!

[@eddiestephens868]

Thanks so much brother for all your knowledge. You help idiots like myself out so much and I appreciate you very much.

[@huknlipzfishing]

Can you guys do a breakdown on a future video for lake lanier?? Never seen one done and would like I different perspective

[@markbuckallew4689]

I strongly agree with that!!

[@KCoutdoors1]

I’ve been dying to try a shakey head! Thanks for the timing of this video guys 💪

[@cdcromwel]

Thanks for all you guys do!

[@davidmartin1949]

Got a couple of small county water authority reservoir's in middle Georgia, that I'd like to figure it out . Did really good on crank baits last week but all small to medium size .

[@toddpossum]

Thanks!

[@maxcole3930]

Post spawn bite in a giant farm pond I recently got access to has been on fire! They have been on good glide bait bite! The new klash9's release color is very close to that mat shad/ translucent. They were all trying to eat it this past week

[@spencerbond3514]

Would love to see some shallow river fishing videos. We don't have large, deep lakes where I live/fish. Pocomoke river has some really deep spots in it, but mostly shallow in my area

[@kobepincombe5430]

Thank you guys for the awesome tips.

[@texoutdoors]

Great vid! Hoping to get out on the lake here soon!

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

Thank you Tim 👏👏❤️

[@patrickmcgee6917]

Hey Tim. Thank you for your great reports.👍🏻👍🏻. So I’m watching you holding up the Gavacho frog, and myself personally do not like where those hook points are sitting in the frog itself. Too much rubber in the way of those hook points. Do you bend the hooks out at all, or leave it? I saw your frog fish that came unbuttoned. Ugh. Been there, done that. Ugh. I’m just trying to be a better frog fisherman. We need all the advantages we can get with these fish. Especially the big uns!!!! Just something I noticed. I’m very observant, and listen very carefully to what you and Matt have to say. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ryanleahy3430]

Do you have any plans to come down to Texas to fish O.H. Ivie? Would love to see a review of you fishing that lake

[@Zanzabar5]

In oregon our water was 49 yesterday.

[@MountainMenAxes]

I'm hitting them on a swim jig and a 3/16th spinner bait just slowly dragging it. But they may still be spawning up here in Northeast Tennessee.

[@tacticalbassin]

They're definitely still spawning. We're farther down the system than you and there are still a lot of spawners down here.

[@fuyt216]

They are, got 2 yesterday still egged up.

[@jamesbrannon6112]

I would really appreciate it if you could come and Do a video breaking down Watts Bar lake it’s very difficult sometimes to develop a pattern here

[@Linkwii64]

Our lakes here in California rising fast due to snowmelt now we have algae blooms. Suck when everything green.

[@gregarizmendez5275]

Trying to find this out myself here in So Cal. Our weather is finally warming up. We had a longer winter and rain than usual. I always wondered if the spawn is delayed when it's cold longer than normal.

[@Steve-ey6iw]

You ever fish lake champlain?

[@alungfishing]

Ahdir bos mantap spot yna bos sulses selalu bos dan seaht selalu bos👍👍👍👌👍

[@jenlvjim]

Wonder how the swammer would do in the middle of the arig with a bunch of Keitechs around it

[@t-roy5842]

I've been following you guys for years, I enjoy your content and have learned a lot. With that being said, sadly most of what I've learned doesn't apply to where I fish. North Western coastal lakes. Y'all seem to forget we actually have a good population of large mouth but you have never actually covered our types of lakes. I challenge you to come to the Oregon coast and see if your tips and techniques can get it done in these locations. It's only a days drive up the I-5 from the California Delta.

[@tacticalbassin]

We've fished some of your lakes and for the most part the "natural lake" information is 100% geared toward you. It defi timely works up there 👍🏼 We're in Tennessee now do jamming up and showing you isn't feasible but you'll have to take our word for it.

[@joehendershott2852]

What app are you using

[@miketorre16]

how do u catch fish where there is super thick hydrilla ? about 5 feet from the surface?

[@davidcrump2348]

Shallow fish don’t have to be punching and flipping and frog fish. I catch lots of them on rock and wood cover all year with jigs, Texas rig, Carolina rig, drop shot, top watered, and saved the best for last, spinnerbaits!

[@midwestfischerman]

#️⃣1️⃣🥇💪🏻👑🎉🎆 🌅🕠 Good morning, TB family!!!🎣

[@toddpossum]

🤙

[@rconner4053]

Can you recommend a good gear ratio when fishing the 6xd and other deep cranks. I’m hearing both slow torquey 5 range and fast 8 burning range. Thanks as always for the video today.

[@teddyfreeman7961]

Can’t go wrong anywhere in the 5 range. You start burning it be prepared to loose a lot of baits. Plus anything higher makes it feel like you’re dragging a log

[@ptcscagu2878]

Have a question concerning electronics. I have an Ultrex with sonar pickup in the unit. I use Garmin w/o livescope. Wanting to use down imaging on my front unit. Would it benefit me to add a tranducer to the shaft of the Ultrex? Sorry this is off topic but have been wanting to ask.

[@floydmayes4924]

I can tell you for a fact that some bass stay shallow all year long in the lake I fish. Got a fair amount of water color and all kinds of timber.

[@brianrobinson9979]

Now that California water levels are at the highest they've been in a really long time, are you guys gonna take a trip to Clear Lake before the levels plummet again?

[@tacticalbassin]

We will see. I'm not sure Clearlake would be the first stop... we grew up on all these lakes and I would sure like to get a day back on Berryessa! We've fished Clearlake and the Delta a few times since moving but haven't been to Berryessa yet.

[@rayvanacore4889]

@@tacticalbassin Berryessa for sure

[@nonagreeable]

How would you classify a smaller lake (500 acres) with a small (30ft) dam that is mostly circular in shape with no long arms/cheek channels?

[@onfootbassin]

It's a reservoir, but fish it more like a small natural lake, unless there are some humps and stuff.

[@BenHolliday1]

Curious. How much weight do you think females lose by spawning? I caught a female this past weekend that was 21” but only weighed 4 pounds. She didn’t really fight like I think she normally could. I could tell it was very rough on her.

[@nicksams]

Right after females spawn they're exhausted

[@afgcomputing3639]

Do bass school in ponds?

[@tacticalbassin]

Absolutely they do

[@afgcomputing3639]

@TacticalBassin good to know! Thank you for all the amazing content you guys push out.

[@ruffrize]

Can I email u a lake and give me some pointers? Where to aim for post spawn

[@miguel_el_rural7129]

Hey Tacticals ! Remember when you went to Lake Baccarac?? I own a piece of land ..west side of the lake Wanna invest,have a nice return?

[@xDx0xUxGx]

Do bass generally spawn before or after carp?

[@midwestfischerman]

Where I am, it can be around the same time, with carp being a little later than bass.

[@xDx0xUxGx]

The main lake we fish just raised to full about a week ago and the temperature has been hovering around 55-60ish for about 3 weeks. I try to listen to the KZbin tips, but my fish don't seem to do what they are "supposed" to do...

[@midwestfischerman]

@@xDx0xUxGx I'd say repost your comment right under the video instead of this thread. I bet Tim and Matt will offer some advice. There's some real sticks among the viewers, too. I'm not a reservoir guy, so I won't pretend to have advice for you.

[@xDx0xUxGx]

I watch a bunch of people from around the country. I ask a lot of questions and get a reasonable amount of advice that I try my best to follow, but most of the "go to" techniques don't seem to work for me.

[@thetexanist]

Where is Matt?!!???!!??!!??! I need proof of life!!! I need the non finesse guy!!!! Where is my man Matt!!!!!!!!!!
