My Profile:
www.mattstefanfishing.com/
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.

I have had solid bites from pitching 1/4 size to specific targets. I think the gold blade has some drawing power. Been a lot of fun.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome

[@timmcc1044]

Agree. Stealth blade is great in highland reservoir cove points. Not many apply it.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep

[@richshackelford5793]

Thanks for sharing Matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@rodneygreen9968]

Thank You Matt for sharing your experience with fishing this type of bait. I like to fish my bait over rocky areas with a Craw Trailer. Deflecting or just slightly higher over the rocks. I catch them in the Early Spring & Summer months.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Sounds great!

[@stevesmith7164]

Good video and tips Matt 👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@arthurdirindinjr1792]

Great info Absolutely will try it out this spring Temps are hovering around freezing right now by me, with frequent dips into the high 20*s so it'll be about 8 weeks till I can see a week straight of above 40* temps and can start fishing again

[@MattStefanFishing]

Good luck!

[@frankfarris6485]

Thank you! Dallas 68% chance of rain Friday Night into Saturday Morning clearing around noon lows in the mid 50"s to low 60"s high around 68. Good Luck

🍺I thought you letting Becker do the “Bassacre” pre-tournament video on his channel was very nice/professional of you.🤠 Showing some respect to the AOY angler👍. I guess you’ll have to play out your “rookie” year😂👊🏻.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Haha might have to do a members live this week if we have time

[@sheepdad556]

Really enjoyed this one. My son taught me a lesson one trip where he was busting them on the rip off the bottom retrieve. We both got bites that day but the big bites came on the tightline drop after the rip. Took him 4 fish to tell me what he was going on though😂 Bang them at TB Matt👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

That is awesome!

[@kevinbeaudean704]

Thanx Matt. Fishing chatterbaits uphill works for me.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Good to hear!

[@maxcole3930]

Off topic but all my nessy soft glide baits came in yesterday. I preorder them forever ago. I got 2 of 9 inch golden shiners & 2 more 9" in different natural shad patterns. Definitely looking forward to trying them out, try get a big bite. I don't throw vibrating jigs alot. When I do I through the Zmans willow vibes because their small & a lot different than a normal one. I know ton of people around me throw them so I try do something different

[@MattStefanFishing]

I like them a lot!

[@MattStefanFishing]

I like them a lot!

[@stoneysdead689]

I will definitely take your advice; I suck at chatter bait fishing. Never had a lot of luck with them- accept in colder water- spring time. I try to look at them like a crankbait- like an aggressive lipless crank. I've had a bit more luck with them approaching them that way.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing!

[@insertname941]

Chatterbaits are my comfort bait, i really suck at everything else but they are good for piercing a pikes hard mouth from what ive found and i cant seem to get away from them for covering water. Pike and bass love em if the conditions are right!

[@johnrayner5599]

Love these type of videos, I was wondering if you were going to mention this bait on suspended fish and you saved it until last, we need to be quite on this one…haha!!!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Haha

[@mulder5118]

best of luck today. looks like wheeler had a incredible day 1. especially with that 8 pounder.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks

[@zooter2345]

Great video. Good luck tomorrow!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks!

[@BanksOpenKayakFishing]

Try one on undercut banks Matt. I’ve had good success doing that. Tight lines on Toledo Bend!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Me too

[@farrzmd3038]

I like zman crosseyez and the Picasso heavy cover. They both have weedguards and when I add a flat bait (zman goat, missile d bomb) they fish through wood pretty well. I also treat them like a jig. I pitch them into brush, wood and give it 3 or 4 hops just to make the blade vibrate then let it settle. If there’s no bite I’ll reel it back and it seems like once I get just past the cover I’ll get bit. It’s become my rainy, wind blown, muddy water jig if I can’t get a spinnerbait to work.

[@insertname941]

I like these more than spinners cuz pike are dumb and always like to strike my blades and never actually get the hook in thier mouth. I think my pike to bass ratio is 2 to 1 on chatterbaits🤣

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing

[@DanielBoone337]

Stroking a heavy chatterbait out deep with wide flat body kicking trailer on it caught me a bunch of fish last summer. I would rip it off bottom like a jig but let it glide back down on a semi tight line like a big hair jig. I haven't really messed with the lightweight ones yet definitely need to give them a whirl...

[@MattStefanFishing]

Good luck!

[@tonyb-50]

That 1st tip gonna be great on the Bend! I hope

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching

[@jerryhall437]

I fish them on flats near spawning pockets on Ky and Barkley … you can cover a lot of area in a short time

[@MattStefanFishing]

Awesome!

[@jerryhall437]

@@MattStefanFishing idk but I hope they keep overlooking it !

[@formerIWUcoachDDD]

I throw a chatterbait in many places you would only throw a weedless frog, on my moss covered farm ponds. You have to clean your bait after most every cast, but often times if you can drag it across a very small opening in the heavy moss it will generate a strike, and occasionally you'll entice a strike dragging it across the heavy moss.....

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing!

[@insertname941]

Gonna try this on my thick thick thick weedy lake i fish and see if that works. I think i clean more than i cast on that lake🤣

[@cwg1313]

That’s a cool trailer….does Berkley make that stock, or is that the Pearl color dyed 1/2 orange with a pen?

[@MattStefanFishing]

Dyed

[@leeeck3866]

I know this has nothing to do with the topic but I was wondering what core tackle you would recommend for jigging through the ice with a 2 1/2 or 3 inch plastic minnow for pickerel and perch.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I like the 1/16 size 1 hover rig

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

[@timbarthel7232]

Great tips, I just recently bought my first vibrating jig, I went with just a 1/4oz because I fish a lot of shallow ponds and rivers, I will definitely try fishing close to the surface. I was never a swim jig user, always use different types of spinnerbaits. but watching this channel I've decided to give them a try. I made sure to order them through your tackle warehouse link.

[@stoneysdead689]

Chatter baits have a nasty tendency to ride up in the water column when being retrieved. Sometimes that's a good thing- if you're looking to fish it right under the surface, target suspended fish with FFS, but most guys like to keep them pretty close to bottom. As a result, even though I fish shallow waters myself- no deeper than 6-8 feet generally- and usually more like 4-5 feet- I buy heavier chatter baits. Even a 3/8ths is very difficult to keep down- you have to keep stalling your retrieve to let it fall again. 1/2 ounce is good for shallow water, 3/4 for medium depth- that's heavy enough I can move it at a pretty good speed and still keep it down. Cold water is your friend when fishing chatter baits- fall and spring they really get hit. On into summer they seem to slow down a bit- but maybe that's just me. Some guys seem to have good luck with them year-round.

[@timbarthel7232]

@@stoneysdead689 thank you for the info. I fish similar depths. Once I give it a try I will definitely look into picking up some heavier ones
