Bass fishing based on water temperature is something anglers have heard about a lot. Some of our long-held beliefs about water temperature and seasonal patterns of bass are just not as accurate as we always assumed they were. See what is really going on with seasonal movements of bass and water temperature.

Spot on...decades of being on the water, length of daylight has proved to be the #1 factor I've used to begin concentrated fishing endeavors. Early in the season, I very seldom take the boat out and do the majority of my fishing walking banks. You are the literally best channel source for real information on bass activities, thank you. And being an ol' fart, I don't blow smoke to sound nice. God bless ya', tight lines

Anglers can be hard headed and when we've been told something for decades it can be hard to let it go! But I think you have consistently shown in your videos that a lot of times what we thought we knew isn't really what those bass are doing.

Photoperied lights the fuse. Heat makes it burn. Underlying, or “recording for posterity” is an endogenous rhythm. I like the time scale adjustment you present. With the volatility -a decoupling of climate and local weather- being experienced such a relationship between photoperiod and water temp may just be being exposed. Then again, don’t throw the bass out with the bathwater… Certain amounts of heat appear to be required for certain activities, such as spawning, and for fry survival. Good video! Love this stuff.

This is the only video I’ve seen on KZfaq that proves the way how I fish to find success any time of the year. A great angler can put the odds in his favor and catch fish no matter what it takes to learn the game. Some anglers can be struggling to catch fish in the winter but I have no problem. Pattern the Bass cycle every year to simplify your process. Good video. 🤙

Todd Huckabee, crappie guide, has been saying similar for years. He’s observed this from being a diver as well. Spawning is related to a combination of moon phase and daylight hours.

So I would anchor or tie off to something & sit wait, fish & watch. Learned a lot about fish activities & watching my lures in water. How my movements translated to the lure in water or on bottom. Keep the footage coming please!
