The 3 Worst Winter Fishing Mistakes! ( And How To Avoid Them )

Don't be caught making these mistakes! Winter bass fishing is really simple, but if you're making these mistakes you're ruining your own fishing. Subtle details like time of day, lure speed, and movement, are often overlooked. These details have huge impacts on your catch rate! If you successfully avoid these mistakes, you're going to catch more bass this Winter!

Anglers (us included) are constantly making mistakes that hurt our fishing. But if you can avoid these 3, you're going to have a lot more fun this Winter! Focus on fishing during low light periods, especially early morning. Next, stop trying to be comfortable. Forget about your "go to" baits and focus on fishing the extremes. And finally, pay attention to the way you're working your bait. This isn't the time of year for aggressive shaking or hard hopping along the bottom.

Below you'll find links to the baits Matt discussed in the video, in the order they appeared. We've also included a few key budget–friendly rod and reel combos to help you fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
