Hey folks - winter bass fishing can be tough...real tough. It seems the bass just disappear sometimes. But with these top 7 tips, you put the odds in your favor.

 

 

Nicely done.....maybe I listened to early....food....gotta have lotsa food.

 

The best winter fishing tip I can offer is, push the snow aside before boring the hole in the ice.

Great video..I'd make it 9...adding hot coffee and Shad Raps..? 

 

Excellent 

Awesome job Boss!

 

My favorite times to fish, Dog Days of Summer & Dead of Winter.

Excellent instructions. Thank you!

I’ve been tying hair jigs. They’ve been getting fish.  I enjoy cold water bass especially smallies 

great advice there.  Glenn mentions concentrating more in deep waters so I have to ask.  Is there a trick to fishing deep water with a baitcaster or do most of you switch to spinning for this?

My buddy and I went out for the last time this past Sunday. Air was 16-17 deg to start the day, went up to 28 deg and water was steady at 34. Had to break through 20' of ice with the trailer and boat to lauch; most of the lake was frozen over but we found some open water after buzzing the shoreline to break it up with our wake.

 

Anyway, we were able to coax 15 lmb into biting; we even had a double!

 

We went out 2 sundays before; water was 40. Air started at 17 and went to 30. Had a great day with 52 fish coming in the boat.

An age old fish catching tactic that almost never fails!

I thought I was toughing it out by fishing in the 30's. Don't know how you could keep your guides clear of ice.

I fish big swimbaits, jigs, blade baits, and alot of vertical spoons with baitcasting gear. Ned rig, dropshot, and shakey head on spinning gear. Long cast and slow down.

I’ll cast it out let the bail open. Pick up a blade to see if they are feeding more aggressively. The hair jig gets bit. they’ll hit it on the fall. But slow crawl on bottom with a few pauses and twitches. The hair jig works awesome!!! 

Spent a couple hours with The (B)assman pond fishing today in the mid to upper 30’s, we had to work around some thin ice that formed overnight but were were able to shore several on the Ned, spinner & roadrunner with a small paddle tail
