Ice Out Baits! In this episode of Bass Fishing Quick Tips, I cover some of the BEST lures for ice out bass fishing, and cold water bass fishing in general. These aren’t just my personal favorites that I have landed a TON of bass on, it’s a long standing list of the absolute best baits for bass fishing in cold water by many anglers all over the country!
I’m excited to announce I’m now working with Empire Jerky!! This was a match made in heaven as I legitimately ONLY eat beef jerky when I’m out on the boat, and this is by far the best beef jerky I’ve ever had. Check them out below, and use code 603bass to get 5% off of your order!!

Thank you for your reply
What part of the country are you from
Awesome! Like the idea of the hair jig.
Something about that black/blue in the northeast. 100% running the same stuff in CT in hopefully a few weeks!
Are you able to do an exact video but for small mouth bass ? Or just comment some tips for me thank you !
Hey man, I appreciate you. subbed. I am always looking for Northern New England bass fishing tips, since the swings we have between seasons makes all these southeast and southwest-based fishing channels kinda irrelevant. Love from Maine! Tight lines.
Great video!!!!! Thanks for your input !


Did someone say ice out?!?


Quick & simple… Especially like the often overlooked hair jig tip. Much appreciated!
Any specific tips for Winnipesaukee?
I like jerkbaits
Great tips, thanks Sean! Just a suggestion … would be great if you could put links to TW of some of your favorite lures and colors … this would help instead of taking notes, losing those notes and then having to go back and stop and start the video
Thanks!!
Thanks for the winter tips!
What is it about that color crimson red (like lipless and cranks) in the late winter early spring?
So, anything that's slow- retrieve, and bounces off the bottom really.
Ice-out on Winne will be April 18th btw, lol.
how do you over look cranking for winter bass wiggel wort shad rap Dt6 Black label peanut or any flat sided crank bait
Don’t get my hopes up like that, there’s still 2 feet of snow here in NY.
