January bass don’t scatter — they cruise deep creek channels like highways.
Travis (Green Valley Anglers) shows the exact bends, junctions, and edges holding giant schools right now, the Shimano Expride 7’2” MH/Curado jig setup that produced a 29-6 limit off one channel run last week, and the bank trick for public access where channels swing close.
Boat or boots — channels = January limits.
