Vlog: Becker’s 3 Patterns from Martin
Pennsylvania pro breaks down how he earned a fourth-place finish at the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit's third stop
Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit pro Matt Becker recently shared a great video that details the three patterns he used to earn a fourth-place finish at the season’s third stop on Lake Martin. Becker, who’s currently second in the Angler of the Year race, caught both largemouth and spotted bass and capitalized on a variety of tactics for a top finish. His patterns included targeting staging and spawning spotted bass on shoals, skipping docks and sight-fishing for spawning largemouths.
