It’s winter, the water is cold, but the lake is fishing INSANE!!! We caught 2 massive bass using 2 lures I love to fish when it comes to winter and they provide a perfect cold weather pattern to cover fish that get tight to cover as well as those that suspend. Both baits trigger fish into biting which is key when the water gets extremely clear and cold. Crankbaits and swimbaits along with a jerkbait are my go to’s when water temps drop into the 50’s. The spinnerbait comes in handy too as a more compact rig that I can throw around cover.
We targeted creeks and pockets with hard bottom such as rocks as well as pockets with downed trees on the bank that stuck out into the water and provided a place for fish to suspend near as well as holding shad and other baitfish.
What were the fishing rods, fishing lures, and other fishing tackle I used?

Those are awesome fish, looks so sick down there. Power fishing for smallies is so much fun.
Wow some awesome Smallmouth today 🏆🏆👍
reasons why wilson is my favorite lake to fish!
I just got to tell you I am so impressed with this video and many that you do. You speak and explain so well, while not sounding cocky or putting on an act. You come across as 100% genuine. Plenty of fishes catches and good ones, different techniques. Just want to say, keep it up man, stay you, it's good entertainment. I don't watch or follow many, and I lose interest quick. You deliver the goods man. Thanks.
Great video Mikey! Love that blade on the square bill crank. Awesome day for the winter lol. Keep up the great work! 👍
What spinnerbait was that you were using. Good video as always.
I always watch these vids in envy,, Coeur d alene Idaho is got the cold water,, lol still catching them but not on reaction,, tactical bassin came up here a bit ago too.
Can you please design a deep diving crankbait and call it "Balz Deep"
Stoked the Chippawa RB produced for you man 💪
That looks like lake Hamilton but it isn’t because they have smallies😂😂
Hell yeah man
Some tank smalljaws my friend. Does Gambler plan on making an umbrella rig? Ever heard of Shane’s Baits? Lots of underground talk about how good their Umbrella rigs are. Rods up and tight lines 👊🏼
What a beast on that A rig. She definitely hadn't missed a meal. Bogs on point for the hookset. Great stuff Mikey.
Mikey, sorry man I missed it if you said it, what was the water temp?
Great video Mikey
Awesome smallie action Mike!! Freaking hawgs!!! Thanks for the heads up on some cool lures you’re using. I really like those triple bladed spinners and that A-rig set-up. 👍🏼Keep ‘em coming dude! Bog looks like he enjoyed himself! 🤣
Yayyyyy!! You got a net!
Hey Mikey, do you know if you can set up an Elite TI2 to shade the way the HDS does on the contour map?
Watching Bog run with that sweater was great
Did you have any luck when you went to Tim’s a few weeks ago I remember you doing these video but never got a fishing video.
great video and man I love the fact you fish with your dog Bog all the time!
man… i’d stab somebody for some open water right now. i’m getting sick of not being able to go stick some giants. good video, mikey!
love those giant smallies, love the Bog!!!!!, LOVE this channel, thank you Mikey!!!!!!
Great catch! Oh and a BONUS LURE! love it when that happens!
Love wearing-out smallies on a big spinnerbait.

BEST CAST ARE MEMORIES 👊🤙great content!,
I’m a lure scavenger myself lol.
Bog is the most well mannered dog ever!!! Does he get fired up or bark at anything Mike??
Micro buzzbait?? Please explain.. ive never herd of throwing that this time of year. Not saying they wont hit it fish are strange..
With your old holy net you didn't scare any fish LOL
Great video!
Big SMALLIES, nice vid Mikey!!!!
That was some great small mouth great vid hello bog .
After you said mean mouth i had to look it up and they are sweet looking i was talking with alex rudd the other day im from pa and our small mouths looked different than his and i think thats why i think he has those mean mouths because the lines and details of the small mouth down there are nothing like up her

Poor ol' cold Bog looking for some lovin' at 2:31.
Cold water fishing?! You should come up to VA and fish the deep reservoirs that are around 39°-42°.
