FIshing The Fall To Winter Transition! Cold Water Fishing Tips!

Come along for a fun afternoon of fish catching! Tim is exploring a large section of river and dialing in a pattern as bass transition toward their Winter haunts. He’s using everything from swimbaits to blade baits to draw a reaction bite as water temperatures drop.

Fall to Winter transition is always an interesting bite window. There are bass that can be found shallow to the end, but most fish have already begun making their moves to deeper water haunts where they will spend the Winter. You can slow down and finesse fish or speed up and look for a reaction bite. Today Tim focused on power fishing throughout the water column.

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and equipment he used throughout the day. We’ve included his exact colors, bait modifications, and specific gear. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

BUYER'S GUIDE: TACKLE STORAGE SOLUTIONS AND GEAR MANAGEMENT

Tackle Management isn't glamorous but it's critical! Buyer's Guide #5 is here and we're taking a deep dive into the world of tackle and fishing gear storage. Keeping your gear safe and easily accessible is one of the most time consuming jobs an angler has both on and off the water. Whether you're walking the shore, hopping on a plane, or getting in the boat, these are items we trust to keep our fishing tackle safe!

Tackle storage solutions vary greatly depending on the angler's needs. An individual moving between boats needs totally different gear than an angler who walks the bank. An individual who travels regularly needs yet another set of storage solutions. With all these different needs in mind, we've combed through our own tackle and selected some of our favorite storage solutions to give you examples of what you can do to keep your gear safe and organized.

If any of these items stand out to you, you can find them linked below. We've listed them in the order they appeared in the video to help you find the right items quickly. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
