Don't be the guy who misses his shot at a big bass this year! These mistakes are costing you fish! If you change these habits you'll begin catching more fish right away. Subtle details make a huge difference, especially around shallow water. Bass are coming up from deeper water and they're leery of the shallows. Make these adjustments and see the difference for yourself.

From accidentally slamming locker lids to choosing the wrong lure, we all make mistakes in the Spring. This video is about learning better ways to operate so you can begin catching more fish on your next trip. Matt highlights the negatives, then provides a solution for each, and even includes some baits that will help you along the way.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear he discussed in the video. We've included favorite colors, sizes, and rigging for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Don't be caught making these mistakes! Winter bass fishing is really simple, but if you're making these mistakes you're ruining your own fishing. Subtle details like time of day, lure speed, and movement, are often overlooked. These details have huge impacts on your catch rate! If you successfully avoid these mistakes, you're going to catch more bass this Winter!

Anglers (us included) are constantly making mistakes that hurt our fishing. But if you can avoid these 3, you're going to have a lot more fun this Winter! Focus on fishing during low light periods, especially early morning. Next, stop trying to be comfortable. Forget about your "go to" baits and focus on fishing the extremes. And finally, pay attention to the way you're working your bait. This isn't the time of year for aggressive shaking or hard hopping along the bottom.

Below you'll find links to the baits Matt discussed in the video, in the order they appeared. We've also included a few key budget–friendly rod and reel combos to help you fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
