Fishing in the wind doesn’t have to be tough! Jump in Matt’s Skeeter, and learn the tricks to using wind to your advantage! Watch as he breaks down a brand new lake in the middle of a wind storm. Not only does he use the wind, he puts together a great limit of fish!
Exploring a new lake is rarely an easy task. Throw wind into the mix, and it can be downright tough! Matt had to pull all the stops today, but in the end he catches a BIG ONE! The fishery he’s on today has a lot of shallow vegetation so Matt used a combination of swim jig, underspin, and frogs to get key bites throughout the day.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. He’s also included the exact colors for each bait. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Sooo much truth in this video! We have a ton of wind pretty much constantly here in Tennessee. I have learned that having wind is just a given and some of the best days on the water is when the wind blows against the banks, especially points. Thank you Matt for sharing your travels!!
Could you (Matt) please do an update on be a coangler? Please include what tackle and rods you would bring to be prepared but not out of control and irritate the boater! I’ve been a co for a while and can’t narrow down my options!
My local bite has been atrocious the last 10 days. After paddling across lakes and getting blown around in the wind, it’s really been pissing me off. 😂
Great video. I love being able to see how you work that swimbait. What I can't believe is you are wearing shoes! Like real shoes!
Hey how much did that biggen weigh also I’ve appreciated the fast uploads
Matt do you still do guided trips?
Awesome information Matt! I put up with the wind all the time fishing Lake Huron. It's nice to know that you get back lashes too.
Still having trouble chasing smallmouth after they leave my river.
Not a whole lot better than getting off work and watching
That donkey on the frog was so cool ! 🤘🔥 needed this video sometimes during tournaments that wind is pushin' us around and man this just gives me a sense of confidence in that wind thanks matt.
I always turn my swimbaits upside down for underspins. I won't fish them any other way. I pour my own laminates upside down for that specific technique. It just has a more natural profile and swimming action IMO.
Wind & Spinnerbaits…always my 1st option
What’s with the attack of the bots?😳
First!🎉
