Cold Weather Fishing Tips! ( Christmas Bass Fishing )



Come along with Matt and Tim for some Christmas Bass Fishing! The guys are headed out on the water and they’re bringing you along for the fun! Watch as they build a pattern together, adapt to changing conditions, and catch fish in a variety of situations. From power fishing to finesse, these guys are doing what it takes to put fish in the boat!

Winter bass fishing brings a lot of challenges. Where they’re fishing there are water draw downs, cold temperatures, and current fluctuations, just to name a few. Watch how the guys use different baits at different times to get fish to bite. Pay close attention as they explain the locations where they target the fish as well. Your lake may look completely different than theirs but bass will always sit in the same likely locations in Winter, regardless of the specific lake.

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys were using. They’ve included their favorite colors, sizes, and modifications, where applicable. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

  1. Merry CHRISTmas to both of your families. May this year be full of blessings for your family & all of us. Tim & Matt thank you for all the time and effort you two put into all the videos, and sharing your knowledge. I've learned so much from you guys and I Truly Appreciate It!!

  2. Happy holidays guys!!!I hope you and your families have a great Christmas! Last year's Xmas present from my cousin was your Tactical wake 210. Will see what Santa brought in a few when everyone wakes up.

  3. Thank you, Matt and Tim; that looked like a fun day of fishing. Flip-flops sighted, so it must not have been THAT cold. 🙂 . Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe, happy and peaceful holiday season.

  4. I know you just did the buyer’s guide on hover/mid-strolling but I’d really like to see an in depth breakdown of the strolling techniques. I really want to implement it this year, especially the mid strolling technique. The mid strolling retrieve just looks like a slow roll back to the boat while gently shake the rod tip? Sure looks like it catches them and I already have some spunk shads and guppy heads.

  5. Merry Christmas Tactical Bassin!! My wife and I are heading out the door in a couple of minutes to go smash them. We will listen to this on the way to the ramp! Thank you guys! Merry Christmas to you and your families!

  6. Merry Christmas guys! Thanks for taking me along! You don’t look cold at all! Under 40 degrees is freezing to me. Hey, how about doing a buyer’s guide of the best warm clothing and how to stay warm on the water? That would be a great gift! Thanks for all you do!
