Bass Start Seeing RED When This Happens
Bass start seeing RED when this happens in late winter and early spring bass fishing. As water temperatures approach 50 to 55 degrees, red baits like fire craw spinnerbaits, fire craw minnows, and red jig heads begin to dominate cold water bass fishing. In this video we break down exactly when to throw Fire Craw, why red works in prespawn conditions, and how to fish spinnerbaits and tightlined minnows in late winter.
Late winter bass fishing can be tough, especially with cold water temperatures and snow-covered banks like we’re fishing today. But as crawfish begin to move and bass transition toward prespawn staging areas, red and orange patterns like Fire Craw become one of the most consistent ways to trigger bites. We’re breaking down when to throw a Colorado blade spinnerbait, when to slow roll a double willow, and how to tightline a minnow on a jig head around creek mouths, brush piles, and staging banks.
Whether you’re fishing Highlands reservoirs, clay banks, stained water, or clear water lakes, understanding the red bite in 50 degree water can completely change your late winter bass fishing results.

About this video:
In this bass fishing video we’re diving deep into late winter and early spring bass fishing patterns, focusing on red baits, fire craw color patterns, spinnerbait fishing, tightlining minnows, and prespawn bass behavior. We break down how to fish a fire craw spinnerbait in cold water, when to switch to a Colorado blade vs double willow leaf, and how to use a jig head minnow presentation to target bass staging near creek mouths and brush piles.
This video covers cold water bass fishing techniques, prespawn bass fishing tips, spinnerbait fishing in 50 degree water, fire craw color theory, and how crawfish activity influences bass feeding behavior. Whether you fish with forward facing sonar or fish shallow banks without electronics, this late winter bass fishing pattern can help you catch more bass before the spring spawn begins.
