I’ve never fished in the winter before I want to but I’ll probably use a crank bait or chatter bait or even a jig if it comes down to it

It all depends what part of the country you are and what you call winter Florida winter and Minnesota winter are two different things I live in California and my water temp doesn’t get below 54 usually so I’m still using lipless crank baits square bills all the time all through winter so take that into account as well

Fundamentally, this is a good video. Those of you catching on cranks in winter, would you happen to be fishing heated reservoirs?

Had to watch this one twice after I saw it I had my young fishing partner son view it because if you keep these 7 in mind you can and will catch fish in these tougher winter months.

Hi Lee Yarbrough. Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.

Glenn, i just caught a nice 2.2kg bass last weekend in cold South Africa on a 5 inch senko greenpumpkin with red flake i a private farm dam. Was windy, i casted with the wind a deep. Retrieve was very slow as was the fishing but really worth it. Thanks again for a very informative channel. Tight lines.

Any advice on bank fishing in winter? Baits, locations, etc..?

I went out today and used a 6” one ounce spoon and I let it flutter to the bottom then I would hop it a little. I had a fish go after it as I was swimming it back to the shore about 20’ from the bank. I was shocked. Fishing in Ohio. Thanks for the tips @Glenn May.

That is awesome!

a good video and well explained, but he left out the most important question and tip: Fishing WHERE, yes, where: fishing "winter" down south is not the same as fishing "winter" up north....once you get the main geographic distinction out of the way, the next question is where WITHIN the where: namely what type of body of water are you fishing within the area you are fishing: there is a tremendous difference between a small body of water and a 1000s of acre impoundment, and of course, a man made lake versus an impoundment for that matter.....Then once you have gotten those two "wheres" out of the question, the next "where" is where ON THE WATER YOU HAVE CHOSEN....as this is the most critical......once you have gotten all three of those wheres settled, you can now proceed with the rest of his advice.

thanks Glen

Must be I’m fishing a different breed because a crank bait catches about 50 percent of my fish in the winter and is always tied on sitting on my boat deck. Cranks are a reaction not a fish looking for food so if they are not feeding a crank will often catch a lot of bad just look for one with a tight action

I definitely caught fish on the spinner bait in February.🤷🏾‍♂️

Is catching fish possible off the shore in winter months ?? Or are they only in deeper parts

@bassresource

4 жыл бұрын

I know a lot of people think, "Well, it's winter time. We gotta go deep." That's not true. You don't necessarily have to be out there probing offshore rock piles and different things like that, though I'm not discouraging that. I'm just saying that you do not necessarily have to do that. There are some shallow fish that I feel like are a little bit more accessible, whether you're using a jerkbait or a crankbait or a jig. So yes, you can catch them from the shore if the conditions are right.

Fish come in closer to shore during winter to get in coves trees in water etc. There are fish in deep water too but bank fishing is really good in colder months. Especially when you find drop offs and where they are located you will have success

Good info but I don’t agree completely with this. Reaction baits can still be a big player in colder months. Bass are wired like a cat. They will lunge out at anything that startles them quickly. Regardless how cold they are... especially on a warming trend. But bottom contact baits are more common.

I used to think the bass only bit during spawning season we used to have a boat dock at our local Lake that would be loaded with bass during the summer months you could drop in a bobber and have the time of your life all day the second that water got cold your bobber just sat there no action just disappointment🤣🤣🤣 the cold water has to do something with the feeding cuz I've dropped worms right in front of a bass's face and they just swam away😡😡😡🤣🤣🤣lol
