Come underwater and watch how different swimbaits move in the water! Paddle tails, wedge tails, and glide baits, are all fish catchers in cold water, but not on every lake. Here are the details you need to know so you choose the right baits for your fishing.

Where Do Bass Go In The Heart Of Winter? (And How You Can Catch Them)

Do you know how to catch bass when its cold??? We can show you! Giant bass are caught every Winter so don't be the guy sitting at home. The boat ramps are empty, the lakes are peaceful, and big bass are willing to bite. These are the tricks you need to know to find and catch fish this Winter. 

We're in the heart of Winter and bass have settled into their seasonal pattern. Their locations are set, their feeding patterns are set, and only the most extreme weather can change it. What that means for you, is that once you find fish you can catch them day after day. Winter can be amazing! Sure its cold, but the chill in the air vanishes when you hammer that first hook set! 

In today's video Tim breaks down the exact locations he focuses on in different fisheries. From lakes, to reservoirs, to rivers, Tim lays it all out. He even included his favorite baits for targeting these fish. Below you can find links to the all the baits discussed, including the exact sizes and colors for each.
