I was born and raised in Chicago, but after working 12 years in the financial Industry regulating the futures and options markets at the CME/CBOT I decided to pursue my passion fishing professional tournaments and left my full time corporate job. At that point, I moved to Junction City, WI with my wife Sara and two boys Hank and Duke. I've been fishing professionally since 2011 and full-time since 2015. I've qualified for seven MLF Championships and won over a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.

Great stuff to share with my most frequent boat buddy as I'm sure it would make us enjoy our day on the water as we catch more fish. Thanks!

[@MattStefanFishing]

awesome!

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

🍺Thanks Matt, I agree with your view that the angle of the cast can increase your odds of getting bit. I would like to add and in my opinion is sometimes much more important then the angle of the cast and that is a soft entry into the water. As little a splash as possible. I call it feathering the cast. A low roll cast that you thumb pressure your line to a stop right before it hits the water is not only extremely effective but it also makes you look like a pro.🤠

[@MattStefanFishing]

100% agree!

[@cpk2GIRL]

Agreed. But from the bank, I often deploy "cast past" by going further out w/ heavier mass in order to slowly sneak up on those hanging out between deep to shallow where applicable.

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

@@cpk2GIRL 🍺👍.

[@farrzmd3038]

Great video. I fish from the bank and a video like this has taught me to almost start fishing at my feet. I’ll spend maybe 10-15 minutes fishing the bank and 10-15ft off the bank. I used to bomb casts to the middle and work the lure in. Now it’s flip to cover spots or angled / parallel casts along the bank. It has increased my catch count.

[@MattStefanFishing]

awesome!

[@timdelaney7371]

Great explanation and detail Matt- Thanks man. Keep up the great work.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks, will do!

[@danham3344]

This is an excellent video! Since you’re talking about angles and boat position, I wondered if you could do one on “How Bass use submerged bldg foundations, and how to approach & fish them. I am also wondering if bass ever position in front of a current break the way trout will sometimes. The current against the front of a rock or log can create a small “buffer zone” and trout will use these often in mid-stream situations. Anyway, great video. Always enjoy your content! 😃👍🏼

[@MattStefanFishing]

good idea!

[@cpk2GIRL]

Matt, all of my largemouth from bank fishing were caught while reeling in at angles under 40 degrees from the shoreline. Thank you for this video!

[@MattStefanFishing]

nice!

[@astrophysicistguy]

This is why FFS sonar is so valuable … my home waters is just vegetation, no docks, rocks, bluff walls, rip rap, etc - just vegetation. FFS allows me to see 80-100’ in front of me where the submerged weed line drop off is - its a game changer down here

[@MattStefanFishing]

sounds good!

[@chrisboyd1408]

Perfect tips make a lot of sense. Bank fishing can be more limiting with tree angles.

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed

[@tomperry7345]

Thanks Matt, good information in the video!

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks!

[@johnlantz7278]

Growing into bass fishing is learning how to maximize every type cover an variables,the diagrams of casting angles great conversation of how we can be more e fish ant 😊

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks!

[@STinGa157]

Great video. I love watching videos on the tactics of fishing. Many things I may already do, but the reason is stuck somewhere in the back of my mind and it’s good to pull it forward. Other tips are completely new and I can add them to my game.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Well said!

[@johnzaucha8908]

Angles are very important when musky fishing show them something different keep up the good work!

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed!

[@Surfer-727]

Great video even though I did not know what your talking about. If I ever get in a bass boat again I will study this very important video. Thanks ! 🐟🐟

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@1chefbr]

Excellent video, Matt!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks!

[@johnrayner5599]

Very good stuff here Matt, fisherman sometimes do not realize the importance of this topic and when I started paying attention to this my catch rate and quality were so much better, important stuff here in this video!!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Well said!

[@jersey4755]

Wow! Thanks! Was literally thinking about asking you about this very topic over the weekend.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LowBrowFishing]

It took me a long time to figure out that casting angles really matter. I try to keep it in mind now, but there were a lot of missed fish along the way.

[@MattStefanFishing]

for me too!

[@nickc8629]

Angles are everything! Great content as always!

Thanks Matt, many times fishing behind someone they hit the target at one angle. Switch up and catch them.

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed

[@noahledbetter3969]

[@davehuggins5777]

Been waiting for this topic! Thanks so much for covering this! I tend to overthink this sometimes. Very useful info!

[@MattStefanFishing]

great!

[@williamfaragher3671]

Solid info for sure !

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks!

[@DecisionsHaveConsequences]

Matt I would recommend either using a picture or some sort of a diagram telling where you would cast and why. I think that kind of information would be invaluable to us casual Anglers.

[@MattStefanFishing]

sounds good

[@rickhensley2251]

Great info.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@eddieboswell6068]

I like using a shorter rod handle and doing a roll cast. I can be very accurate with this type of cast especially with a jig or spinner bait.

[@MattStefanFishing]

sounds good!

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

🍺As you know this tournament I went with all Tennessee anglers. Morgan, Becker, Wheeler, and Defoe. 2 from each group. All 4 made it to the knockout round👍.

[@MattStefanFishing]

you are on fire!

[@WolverineXXXX]

Right now the fish are at the end of the casts in the deep. 2 things work, including a livebait option.

[@MattStefanFishing]

sounds good

[@tommyhighhook3689]

Good info

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks!

[@williamclark5629]

Great videos

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks!

[@davidcrump2348]

What angles do you use for lay downs that has multiple trees cross crossing? Standing timber? Stump fields with lots of stumps? Standing timber? Road beds?

[@MattStefanFishing]

X in the laydowns. and stumps nearest to a ditch. any interesctions in road beds

[@terrytresemer2864]

All good stuff

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks!

[@GUYB1872]

What’s your casting strategy for long wind blown points?

[@MattStefanFishing]

I usually stay up wind and make long casts with the wind over the top

[@Surfer-727]

I will use your name for the Tackle Warehouse link. ✔

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks so much for the channel support!

[@williamknight5142]

How many times will you repeat the same cast?👍👍👍👍👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

two or three if its a prime target and im making the exact cast i want

[@robertmazzella8121]

What about a straight dock, no intersections or anything?

[@MattStefanFishing]

hit the poles closest to where the first depth change is or where you cant see bottom anymore

[@chadgreiner3114]

Just noticed Daryl on the door. Lol

[@MattStefanFishing]

haha

[@clintperry799]

👍✅ 28

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks!

[@davidwells6556]

Most of my casts are at 359 degrease. I'm a pro hahahaha. :)

[@MattStefanFishing]
