Insane Crankbait Bite! Fishing Lake Fork, Texas!
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 09. 2024
- We're in East Texas and the big bass are biting! Our 3rd stop on this bass fishing adventure is Lake Fork! It only takes a few minutes to discover the shad are spawning on shallow points and the bass are ambushing the baitfish. We put our electronics to work and located a big school with BIG fish in the mix. Out came the crankbaits and the pattern unfolded from there.
May is an awesome time to fish large bodies of water. If there is deep water access you'll almost always find bass in all 3 stages of the spawn. In this case we found a secondary point leading out to main lake structure that had a large school of fish. Some of the bass were heading in to spawn, others were already done and headed back out, but all of them were making a stop to ambush Threadfin and Gizzard Shad as they spawned along the wind blown point.
We've explained in recent videos that the shad spawn is an amazing time to catch big fish that are aggressively feeding in shallow water. Today we put that video to work and caught them on squarebill crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and paddle tail swimbaits. Below is a breakdown of the gear we used to catch these fish.

“Stay here”
Daughter immediately goes back on the casting deck 🤣🤣🤣
These vids with your family are awesome. Can’t wait for the northern smallmouth swing.
Your very blessed to be fishing like that with your wife and baby and having such a good time. I have three kids and there all growled up now, these are some of the best years of your life spending time with your family when there young. Enjoy it God bless I appreciate all you do helping us with your channel.
Lake Fork is an unbelievable lake at times. I'm glad you are here experiencing what my home state can offer you. Who knows, maybe you'll decide to move here and do your guiding. Bring Tim with you.
Texas is the place to be for well managed lakes
Your little girls reaction is priceless, I cant wait till I can get my little girl out fishing with me! So awesome to see you guys out there fishing as a family. You've both been very careful in regards to how much your families are in your content(quite understandably) and I think its great to see you all out fishing together!
I'm glad you and your family got to experience some of our great fishing here in Texas. Your daughter is too cool seeing her get excited was awesome. Safe travels and God Bless y'all.
Seen Matt the guide for a while, but Matt the dad is pretty awesome too
That’s my real world out fishing. Momma and babies all over. Great to see families out smashing fish
These family videos are so awesome especially when the little one gets excited the 4:00 make was great
Matt :”Are you having fun on the boat?”
Daugher: “YEA”
Matt: “ I am too”
HOOK SET
Great to see you out there with your family. We don’t see enough of that on CZcams.
Don’t get to close to that water my man! The fish are gonna see those white legs for miles! Lol
Great video!!
Such a great family experience for you guys. The fishing and teaching are excellent as always but best of all is watching Sierra and seeing her excitement.❤️
❤❤ you have to love the EXCITEMENT of a 3 year old girl,her voice melts my heart, and see the family together fishing, is precious,keep these videos coming and my God Bless your trip 🙏🙏👊👍
I mean this is a testament to what you guys teach, when you're traveling to lakes you never even fished before and start catching giants, its an awesome feeling
Your little girl is too cute. Love these road trip family videos. I get a big smile watching you guys fish, no one else on CZcams does that. Thank you for making us all better fishermen! You guys are awesome!
That’s when you know Matt is an insane angler. Goes to a foreign body of water that he doesn’t know and straight destroys them while local guys are probably struggling. NorCal raises beasts of bass anglers. Great vid guys. So cool to see.
Its awesome to see you n your family enjoying a day of fishing love your vids
Matt, you've got one of the cutest daughters around. Love that enthusiasm!!
I grew up fishing on Lake fork, and my ranch is about 15 minutes away from the north end of the lake. It’s always nice to see people hammering them on good ole lake fork!
Great to see the family out there together. I remember standing between my dad's legs and catching my first one. I've been hooked ever since. I know it's not bass material, but a short video fishing with your little girl catching some bream or perch PRICELESS.
Enjoy this trip with the family Matt you deserve it!!! Memories that will last a lifetime!!!!
Awesome! I’m absolutely loving these videos with your family in them as well as the instruction. Keep it coming Matt!
Best of luck. Ill pray for your safety throughout your travels.
Way to slay! Man y’all caught some studs ! By the time the baby 👶 is grown she will be a great bass angler. Great video thumbs up 👍
Big Bass...
Matt’s lil’ Fishing buddy: “Cheese” loving it
So awesome. Your lil girl jumped up and wanted to see the fish.
Sierra clearly wants her screen time! Looks like a fun trip. Look forward to seeing more when the “Little posse” rolls into town. Keep smashing ‘em!
Giant Bass and family time! It doesn't get any better than that!
Love the family outing,you know the wife would catch one of the biggest of the day.
Hey guys. Not a regular commenter on youtube vids, but you guys are making some great stuff. Im from South Africa and a big bass enthusiast . Also making a few odd videos when I have time. Not an easy thing to do, especially working long hours and having 2 babies in the house. So giving credit where its due. Time and money is not all thats requiered to make these. Its knowledge and passion.
There's a reason it's the GOAT lake of all time for bass fishing.
Learn something new every time I see your videos. Thanks for doing what you do for us learning anglers. Love seeing the family out.
Woa...nice one Matt! Woo-hoo little Mama...killer largie! Good times, Great fishing spots, wonderful family experiences...what an awesome way to create unforgettable memories! Thanks for sharing.
Love this channel hes so clear in explaining things and helping out some of us less experienced anglers.
very educational video thank you so much for sharing your technique and your equipment used. thanks for explaining how and where you caught the fish and how to use each bait and the description of each bait...keep the videos coming i really enjoy your fishing technique....
Texas loves you too! You guys would be great adopted Texans.
I loved fishing that lake... I miss it. Haven't been there in years
We're loving the vids! So awesome to see you out there living the dream! Family time is irreplaceable.
You found the schools awesome I love when that happen and awesome technique it just straight out works just like many other techniques we find that work best at the right moment in time.
Congratulations.😃.

This is what my mother and father did back in 70s. Mom is in a better place and dad is 80. Teach your kids to fish it will last a lifetime.
Just sitting here patiently waiting on pickwick footage. Awesome video by the way.
