Tube Fishing Tricks + Deep Water Tips With Jesse Kroetch! (Tactical Family)

Come along as we head to the Pacific Northwest to fish with Jesse Kroetch! Jesse is dialed in to a deep Winter bite in the NorthWest reservoirs and today he's showing us how it's done. Check out the incredible scenery from the region, listen to how to locates and targets bass in deep water, and watch as he catches a bunch of bass and pike!

For those of you that missed Jesse's introduction back in Fall, he has joined the "Tactical Family" to bring regional content from the Pacific Northwest. These videos are in addition to our regularly scheduled content and give a unique insight into both his region, as well as many deeper fisheries around the country. He has a unique fishing style, implementing familiar baits in unique ways, to catch wary bass. We're taking notes from those tips so you probably should be too!

Below you'll find links to other videos from the Tactical Family, links to all the baits he used today, as well as the rod and reel combos he used to catch his fish. We've also included links to Jesse's guide service and social accounts. All the gear links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Cold Winter Bass Fishing: Tubes, Jigs, and Mega Live Sonar

Its another cold, Winter day on the water! Our hands are frozen, the fish are cold, but the bite is on! Between catches Tim shows his Humminbird Mega Live unit where you can actually see bass swimming through the baitfish in front of the boat! Come along for an educational day on the water and watch as the guys use a jig and a tube to catch big bass during brutal conditions. 

We regularly talk about how we prefer to power fish through the Winter months. Once in a while, the fish just won't cooperate. This is one of those days. The fish are on bottom, around cover, and won't chase at all. Luckily the guys are ready with a finesse football jig and a heavy tube to fool these lethargic bass into biting. They don't get a lot of bites, but the ones they get are really nice fish!

Below you'll find links to the baits, gear, and electronics the guys were using. We've included our favorite sizes and colors where applicable. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
