When did Matthew Robertson born?

Matthew Robertson –Profession

Matt is an angler and an expert boat navigator by profession. Matt the Bassmaster Angler makes regular appearances in local and national fishing tournaments.

Bass angling is an on-hand and engaging water sport. Math needs to look out for telltale signs for spots where the best and the largest bass bites. Matt fished in grass beds and shorelines throughout the Harris Chain and numerous other lakes- a normal strategy for this fishery.

On a fishing trip, Matt selects his fishing site- some, 150 yards offshore in about 9 to 10 feet of water with no visible structure- just a hard spot on the lake’s bottom with underwater visibility measuring 40 by 50 yards.

Then he waits patiently for a long, long time. On the conscious level, he idles over his catch, all the while checking the electronics that are strapped on his boat. When his monitor flashes a bass, he immediately sizes up the bass and sets out the bait.

Matt stays alert about any weather changes in the area via radio bassmaster.com available to 126 stations on the SB Nation Radio coast to coast.

The radio caster is Thom Abraham, a passionate bass angler from Winchester, Tennessee.

His guides and gears include Free Fishing Log, Fish Weight Calculator, Fishing Astro Tables, Best Fishing Times Calendar, Local Bass Fishing Info, ask Questions, Free Lake Maps, Bass Resources, and Accurate Fishing Weather Forecast.
