The time has come! Northern Smallmouth! Southern Spots and Largemouth! Fisheries are opening up and the bite is beginning to happen throughout the North! Come along as we take a deep dive into both the finesse baits and power fishing techniques that shine in the early season!
From dropshot worms to tubes, and swimbaits to spy baits, these are the baits that consistently catch fish! Matt goes into detail on confidence colors, rigging upgrades, and the subtle tricks he uses to catch more fish.
