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.
