My Profile:
http://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.
Totally agree on the small baits. The largemouth in the lake I fish in VA are still chasing shad. And I’m still catching quality bass on a 1/4 oz rooster tail and by swimming a 2” jigging spoon (with a larger/feathered treble hook attached).
It's tough getting old isn't it (Lil' Trooper)? Believe me, I know. I first heard about them on your channel. I love them. I've been fishing them all summer and they've been a constant producer. I Texas rig them with a tiny split shot at the hook eye around rip rap or on Berkley half heads in more open areas. Also add them as trailers on the micro jigs. Good stuff.
Too
I used small jigs all year long, day or night. Bitsy Bugs are great and cost effective, a 1/8th to 1/4 ounce bucktail is my favorite though, hard to find with a strong hook.
What rod and line pairing do you use for these micro jigs?
Beast Coast Open Water Sniper is THE best finesse jig. Period. Hands down.
Once caught an 8lber on a TINY black crappie jig. That was a fun fight. 😎😂🤙🏽 Elephants eat peanuts.
Check out the o.s.p. 05 tugger jig. I tip it with 3" fluke style baits. I'm literally on my way to meet dad for some fall smallie action on the wolf river. The tugger will be on the deck for sure
het Matt!..zman makes one called a midwest swim jig..its dynamite also!.thanks for the content
🍺Thanks Matt. I’m a big fan of the “micro jig”. Very effective bait.
These are a confidence category for me. Had fun success with them with BFS. Fun stuff Matt!
I love using micro jigs like the the bass cave episode two
The missile baits drop craw on the keitech spin jig is killer
I've been making my own microjigs. The Keitech football head makes a great platform for making your own. Also the Zman TRD Bug is just the right size for a trailer and the profile can go either way as a small baitfish or craw.
I wish that Zoom would make the skinny chunk again.Thats the best finesse jig trailer that I have ever used
Man this is right up my alley. I know just a few short months ago I sent a comment about how I wish I could catch fish on a jig and it just didn't seem to work for me. So now I am a full-blown jig fiend! Got another half-dozen today including some half-ounce bitsy flips. And man have I've been having great success with them. That little keitech spin jig and a little trooper sound incredible, and so does that tightrope got to get some
The 1/4 keitech football brown and purple is my all time favorite. That's an awesome jig with a sticky sharp hook
Matt. I have downsized my baits to this small kietech jig, the hover rig, and a wieghtless , nosed hook Roboworm Sculpin. Now, I am getting strikes from monster bas. The challenge is reeling them in. They thrash and I keep losing them on a medium light, fast action spinning reel. Anu suggestions from you or the audience?❤ thanks
Man on the south end of Toledo Bend water temps are finally in the low 80s and the fish are freaking everywhere from inches of water to 30+ft… it always blows my mind just how scattered they get and how finicky they get when this time of year comes around.
I took the grand kids fishing today in Southern Indiana. And we caught 2 dozen bass and a large crappie on the bronze slammer.
👊🤘👊🤘👊🤘👊🤘🎣🎣🎣🎣
Never ceases to amaze me how many big bedding females I catch in the spring while using crappie gear for panfishing. They’ll absolutely destroy a baby shad or hair jig.
Kietech 3/8 foot ball is a great small offering
Which one would you recommend for smallmouth in creeks/river with current and rocky bottom?
