bass boat

I finally got my hands on the new 2026 Nitro Z20 XL and I’m already running into a big decision that could be a huge mistake if I get it wrong. In this video, I walk through the tournament rigging options I’m looking at — from custom boat colors to flooring choices (carpet vs foam) and the all-important trolling motor debate (Minn Kota Ultrex Quest, Power Pole Move, or Lowrance Ghost). I break down the pros and cons of each, but here’s the thing… I need YOUR help to decide. This boat is going to be with me in every tournament and every video next season, so your input is going to help me build the ultimate rig.

Tournament ready? In this video, I go through every lure I keep in my Nitro Z20 bass boat — from Chatterbaits, crankbaits, and swimbaits to soft plastics and finesse rigs. I also show you the best way to store Chatterbaits so they don’t rot and rust. Whether you’re fishing shallow, deep, or around structure, these are the proven bass fishing lures I trust to win tournaments. Perfect for anglers looking to upgrade their tackle game and stay organized on the water! #bassfishing #chatterbaits #fishinglures #bassboattour #fishingtips #tackleorganization #swimbaits #crankbaits #fishinggear #tournamentbassfishing #tournamentfishing

In this video I show you my favorite place to fish for and catch PB bass – you really don’t need to fish anywhere else in Florida if you are trying to catch a trophy bass, it’s cheating!!! The Sebring and Highlands County lakes offer any angler the chance to use a ton of fishing techniques – from frog fishing, flipping and punching, to fishing ledges and offshore structure with crankbaits, spoons and jigs! In this video I teach you one of my favorite ways to catch bass in late summer and fall by using my HDS LIVE sonar to locate brushpiles and fish them with jigs, spoons, and hair jigs!

Don’t ever fish for bass in summer with trying a jig. Specifically a Hair Jig. It’s a great fishing technique for ledge fishing and offshore summer bass to mimic forage like shad and other bait fish that move to deeper water during summer for more oxygen, cooler water, as well as in reaction to fishing pressure in clear water. There is no right or wrong way to fish a hair jig. I have a couple rod and reel retrieves I use all the time that seem to trigger fish on any lake. One slow rolling the lure near the bottom; two giving the reel a few quick turns and then lifting the fishing rod and slightly pendulum the bait down on a semi taught line; and three fast reeling the jig for a few quick turns and letting it just sink back down.

There is 1 thing that is a huge fishing cheat you never want to forget when trying to catch summer bass – either fish them super fast and try to trigger them with crankbaits, big swimbaits, spoons, and reaction style fishing lures; or fish them super slow with soft plastic Texas Rigged Worms, Ned Rigs, drop shot rigs, Neko Rigs, and all the finesse techniques you can think off. The fish seem to either be in one mood or the other when fishing in summer and that means the techniques you use to catch bass need to mimic that mood. Warmer water temps and clearer water leads to more stable fishing so once you figure out a fishing pattern you can stick with it but when it comes to lakes with a lot of fishing pressure or boat traffic you may have to adapt your approach and cheat a little with more finesse style lures or highly reaction oriented baits.

As you know I put a Lowrance Ghost trolling motor on my bass boat a few weeks ago and one thing that frustrates me is no pro angler will be honest in reviewing positives and negatives of a product. In this video we review the Lowrance Ghost – taking a look at the spot lock feature, sonar and graph integration, some of the creature boat comforts it offers, as well as some of the quirks that stand out. Overall, I love the trolling motor but there are a few things that need a little TLC or aftermarket tweaks to take full advantage of. I’m no pro angler but I hope this honest review will help you get a better idea of what the Ghost has to offer.

Check out my boy @nathanmartinfishing and Sea Clear Power https://bit.ly/2yJ236F they did the install the the electronics tweaking on my boat.
