January Bass Fishing! (Tim And JD On The Water)

Come along for a fun day on the water with Tim and JD! The boys are on a lake they haven’t visited in years and they’re feeling the pressure to find fish quickly. Tim begins on main lake structures but quickly works his way back into pockets, where he finds bass corralling baitfish. Despite the cold conditions, he’s able to target these fish with reaction baits.

Spotted Bass can be very aggressive, even in cold water. In the background of some of the fish catches you can see fish breaking the surface. Tim uses a combination of finesse baits, strolling, spoons, and the A–Rig to quickly load the boat. Throw in some gorgeous brown trout for good measure and you’ve got an amazing day on the water!

Below you’ll find links to the baits and gear Tim and JD used throughout the day. We’ve also included the rod and reel combos they use to land their fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
