Winter Bass Fishing on the Duck River (Jet Boat Adventure + Cold Water Bite!)

Winter fishing isn’t easy — and this trip to the Duck River proves it. ❄️🎣

The Chunky Fella returns to the Duck River in the Stealth Craft Jet Sled 1872, chasing cold-water bites during one of the toughest times of the year. With clear water, freezing temps, and finicky fish, this trip turns into a true winter fishing grind.

In this video, you’ll see:
