42-degree water. Offshore brush piles. And bass that were still biting.

In this video, I’m fishing Chickahominy Lake in true winter conditions — 42° water temps and air temps in the low 40s — while actively side imaging offshore brush piles to find where bass are actually setting up.

This is a process-driven winter fishing video focused on finding fish or cover first, then making the right presentation to get them to commit in cold water.

🎣 What you’ll see in this video:
• Boat positioning for offshore winter fish
• Why a jerkbait still works when it’s cold
• Quality bass coming off isolated cover

Gear Used
• Rod: Megabass Orochi XX Jerkbait Special
• Reel: Shimano Curado 70 MGL XG
• Bait: Megabass Vision 110
• Line: Sunline FC Sniper Fluorocarbon – 12lb
