Finding bass quickly in the winter is easy when you know the type of banks bass use. In this video, I start Operation: Catch Bigger Bass and practice for 4 hours on Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma to find areas for my "tournament day." Watch as I break down the lake with my fish finder, contour line maps, and fishing instincts and find big winter smallmouth and largemouth bass! Hope you enjoy the instruction!

Because of this channel and applying your information, I landed a 7lb 8oz yesterday evening. The absolute best fishing channel anywhere. I had struggled finding the fish, but using my graph and pinpointing areas before actually getting on the water, I’ve started finding them. Thank you

I like how you cover the fish catching points then explain that variables may change everything for tomorrow. That's fishing, that's life. Be flexible but still have a plan and a plan B.

Always watch the birds in the winter months. The fish under the bait balls push the bait shallow and the birds see the bait. The bait goes to the warmest water in the winter. Always fish the warmest water in the lake. The fish usually feed heavily based upon weather fronts two days before they arrive. Never stop fishing to look for fish. It is a really bad idea. No chance they will bite as good tomorrow as they are today when you are catching fish. Never leave feeding fish to look for feeding fish you are just wasting your time. Make the most of every minute on the water by catching them when they bite. You may catch the biggest fish of a lifetime. If you drive around the lake in the winter watch the temperature the most over the graph. The graph shows resting fish and the birds show feeding fish. Spend more time learning about bait and you will catch bigger fish. If you fish with live bait you will realize how poor artificial baits really are. Live baits catch 10 to 1 over artificial unless the water is too cold for live bait to live. Jerk baits are the best artificial lure for feeding fish working bait balls. Throw jerk baits where birds are feeding. Birds are professional fishermen, they do it to live and they don’t waste time or energy. You will learn a lot from a bird.

Thanks for the updated content. Question: In your experience how long will these most productive spots will stay productive? I understand there is many variables involved for this. But what are you key points you focus for considering a productive spot? Thanks for your time.

@scoobymc7 4 жыл бұрын

From my experience any change in weather conditions or temperature can turn the fish on or off. Also in summer and winter fish are more likely to hold to a spot and just not be active while in fall and spring extreme changes in weather can move fish off a spot

Off the topic of fishing, but I noticed your boat rocking pretty good and you have on winter clothing. Do you have a boarding ladder on you boat in case you fall overboard? I feel overboard a week ago with heavy insulated bibs and a heavy winter coat plus layers and I could not get back in the boat. Thankfully, my brother was with me even though he could not pull me back in either and had to drive the boat to the shore as I clung to the side. The air temperature was about 42 degrees and the water was about 40 degrees. Since then I have been to the dealer and searched online for a ladder and cannot find anything suitable for my 2018 Tracker 170 Pro. What type do you have if you are using one. It never occurred to me that I needed one until I fell out. I fish alone quite a bit. With all that said, I really enjoy your videos!

@jamesbarron1202 4 жыл бұрын

I ride around 5% of the time and fish 95% of the time because I can't afford fuel and oil plus wear and tear on my engine. Boat engines aren't cheap. It would be nice to be able to run around for hours looking. I also fish the same lake all the time so I know it really well so that helps on the running around

@jamesbarron1202 4 жыл бұрын

@Bennybass all engines wear out the more their ran. They need to be ran often to keep everything lubed up and good fuel on the system but high mileage wears anything out

@bigfah2506 4 жыл бұрын

I think it you look at some of the pros who have won events, they have a good ration between driving(graphing) and fishing. I also they when they are graphing, they’re looking for similar structure where they’ve caught fish before or where they might be in relation to either cover/structure and bait. Personally winter fishing up here in Minnesota is far more difficult because the fish are super lethargic and you’re drawing football jigs, casting swimbaits, or going live bait. But I think you’re doing what works and this is smart content by you.

Only way to really find a pattern on a new lake is to drive and graph and drive and graph, find at least 15-20 spots that hold fish and like you said, no need to spend all day fishing these spots the fish will quickly tell you what they are doing. Pattern fishing wins tourneys. Period.

@ajwenzel6276 4 жыл бұрын

It’s not the only way to catch fish and or find fish no. But, winning patterns generally come from the guys who find them off shore. Of course a lot of the pro series fish during the spawn which would mean a lot of off shore stuff isn’t viable, so I guess I should say, “depending on the time of year”

The run and gun approach to bass fishing is stupid at best. I fished Lake Fork in January 25 years ago and caught over 100 bass none under 4 pounds throwing the same lure at the same tree all day long. I never moved off the spot. It was where several creeks ran together in 25 feet of water out in the middle of the lake. The largest bass was 9 pounds. This day broke all the rules. Think about it.
