Winter Fishing
I am retired and want to get good at bass fishing, thinking about fishing this week by myself air temp in the 50 and water temp 43. I need to learn and wondering what the pros would do
Water temps in the low 40's can be tricky. When the water gets this cold, the best bait for me is the blade bait like the silver buddy. Other techniques that can work well are the hair jig in cold water. Below are some links for the baits. Find deeper rocky areas with no current. Most importantly find some bait around. In the winter it's all about fishing around the bait. Here is an example of how Brian Thrift fishes the blade bait.
