This winter at Lake Berryessa was a grind — cold water, changing conditions, and a lot of adjustments.

I recently fished a kayak tournament out there, but unfortunately my camera malfunctioned and I lost all the on-the-water footage. Instead of scrapping the recap, I decided to break down everything I learned this winter and go through the full tackle lineup that actually produced bites.

In this video, I cover:
• The patterns that worked in cold water
• How conditions changed throughout the season
• What adjustments made the biggest difference
• The exact baits and setups I relied on

If you fish Northern California or Lake Berryessa specifically, this breakdown should give you a solid starting point the next time you’re out there in winter conditions.

See you on the water 🎣
