3 Winter Mistakes That Will Ruin Your Fishing! (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 chances of catching big bass. Subtle details like time of day, lure speed, and size, are often overlooked. These details can make or break your day, so it's time to pay attention! Avoid these mistakes to catch more bass this Winter.
We all make mistakes that hurt our fishing. Some were aware of, some catch us off guard. If you can avoid these three, you're going to have a lot more fun this Winter! Focus on fishing during low light periods, especially early morning. Next, forget about your "go to" baits from other times of year and focus on key Winter actions and profiles. And finally, pay attention to your surroundings so you know when the fish have vacated an area.
Below you'll find links to the baits Tim discussed in the video. We've also included some of Tim's favorite 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.
