Prespawn is one of the best times of year to catch bass! They can be caught on a variety of power fishing techniques, as long as you keep pursuing active fish. Adam knows these waters well and it doesn’t take long for the duo to start catching quality fish! The main plan was a combination of shallow and mid diving crankbaits, but when the guys went out deep for a few minutes they struck gold with a 7 lber on a strolling bait!
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear the duo was using through the day. We’ve included the exact colors for each bait, details on hooks and jigheads, as well as some of the travel gear Matt employed to fish effectively while traveling across the country.
