19 Degrees But The Bass Are Biting! Come Fishing With Us!!

Come along for a FREEZING day on the water! The air temperatures are 19 degrees, water temperatures are 40 degrees, but the bass are still feeding! If you've ever wondered how to fish in the cold, what to wear, and how to protect your boat, we're covering all of it!

We're focused on power fishing techniques today and it pays off, despite the cold! Frigid temperatures don't mean that you have to slow down. Reaction bites can still be had if you focus on key baits. The guys are throwing very specific baits, looking for very specific conditions, and it matters when temperatures begin to plunge.


Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys were fishing with. We've included details about the exact sizes and colors for each bait, as well as the rod and reel combos we used to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Cold Muddy Water Fishing Tips! (On The Water)

Has your water turned cold? Don't give up! Cold and muddy water is a Winter angler's nemesis, but you can still catch fish! Come along for a day on the water as Tim faces these difficult conditions but finds unique areas where the mud works to his advantage.

Muddy water is great in Spring but it can make fishing really tough in Winter. If the entire lake has turned to mud, there isn't much you can do about it. Thankfully, on this day the muddy water was still pumping into the lake and Tim was able to find clear water/muddy water seams. These are prime areas to target quality fish under tough conditions and Tim took full advantage.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim used throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

The Cold Water Bass Fishing Trick Everyone Forgets!!

When Winter bass don't want to bite, the Jerkbait is the deal! Long pauses and short snaps of the rod can get wary fish to commit. However, this time of year attention to detail is everything. From baits to hooks, and rod to line,  you need your gear to be perfectly dialed to fully take advantage of a jerk bait's potential. 

Matt started out fishing a variety of Winter time baits. He threw crankbaits, blade baits, alabama rigs, and swimbaits. Right before he was going to call it quits he picked up the jerkbait and changed the course of his day. The subtle action of the jerkbait combined with long pauses was more than the bass could resist! 

Below you'll find links to the exact gear Matt was using. He's included his favorite sizes and colors for the baits, as well as the exact rods and reels he was fishing with. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
