Jump in the boat for a great day of Winter bass fishing! Matt hasn’t been on the lake for a while, but he wastes no time dialing in a big fish pattern. Watch how he immediately shifts gears and quickly figures out two additional patterns to keep catching fish. This method of Winter fishing is very effective, and he explains all the details while catching fish.
Winter fishing can be really fun! Focus on baits that get bigger fish to bite and you’ll unlock a completely new fishing experience. The air temperatures are cold but you won’t feel it when you’re constantly moving and big fish are on the line! From the glide bait, to the A–Rig, to the jigging spoon, this was a fun day of cold weather fishing!
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact colors, hook upgrades, as well as the Roda nd reel combos he used to fish the baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

#Winter #fishing #bassfishing
Going out on Saturday with my dad! We haven’t been out on the water together since the beginning of this year so super excited! Thanks for taking us along, Matt!
So awesome makes me so jealous.
Great video Matt. I think the yellow bass you caught at the 5 minute mark was a Hybrid Striper. The stripes looked like one.
I would pay big money to take a ride in the boat with Matt and Tim and do some fishing! Another fun ride along video, thanks Matt!
Do you have some good gloves that you recommend for winter? I mean to fish with them on?
Smashed em yesterday on the willowsvibe by z man. How do you feel about that bait Matt?
Today is so tough that the water is hard.
Once again yall are torturing me with all the fish catches. While I'm getting ready for work. As usual an informative video, thanks
Out in a hoody, and ya say its below freezing? Youre clearly not as old as me Matt…lol!
Im in my thermals duck hunting bibs and parka when its in the 30's, and sometimes low 40's when im gonna be making a good run somewhere! In Arkansas most of our spots are a way closer boatride than driving these Ozark switchbacks into another county (in my case another state) just to get around a creekarm…lol.
What is y’all’s favorite spinning reel for shaking minnow and hover strolling?
Great video Matt thank you. I will have to try the jigging spoon thing
Mahalo!
Morning!
I’m in the boat!!
