When Winter sets in, its more important than ever to understand fish behavior. Bass are setting up on key main lake structures, but they’re also using subtle contours all over the lake and no one is checking them. Watch as Matt fishes small transitions, edges, wood, and offshore drops to catch a bunch of fish.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt fished throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
