Chris Zaldain discusses what he is looking for to get bit in the winter and the process he goes through to identify the changing conditions that dictate his bait size during the colder weather months.

Do you fish this lake often? I had a 15 pound limit on that exact lake a week ago
Hey Chris a former old guy from Fremont Ca. I miss the fishing there. Still chasing bass now in Mo. Hope you have a great season next year on the tournament trail. I enjoy all your videos!!!
Steve
Interview worth a listen.
love it! thanks for the tips and thought process!
Great info !
Enjoyed the tip Chris
Thanks for the tips dude! I hope you'll do more videos like this in the future. Very cool. Are you allowed to say the name of the lake you fished in the Sierras? I was just up there but there were no small mouth. Only lake trout. Webber lake. Thank you and Charles for the awesome content!
Great info as always 😎 – shared to 613BASS'N
Chris becoming a YouTuber and podcaster is the greatest dam thing
Tournament anglers make the best detectives.
Thank you for such a great informative video. To many people don’t do these anymore or explain things as well as you did. Very much appreciated
Hey Chris, love the format of this tips vid. Terrific content, and insight. God bless and have a terrific Thanksgiving!
Well done bud👍🏻
Chris, great one on one video and thank you for teaching us all.
I’m on a quest for a double digit bass🐟. Three so far at 9.5 pounds…..in the last three years. Two of them was at the dam section of the lakes…
Watching you at Lake Fork, my lake near by on Lanier or in the west coast trip you always check out the dams…
Why is that? Big fish live by the dams or ????
Your friend from Georgia 🐟🐟🐟😎 A.k.a. ice hockey goalie that will take his stick and knock them in the head. Lol.
I guess if you work your way down to drop shot there aren't many options after that other than dynamite 😂
This is awesome! I was on Lake Fork yesterday. Coldest fish day and windiest day of the year and doing just what you said here was magic. Caught good unders and a solid slot. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Damn bro you always tell it how it is. Always enjoy the info you put out. Keep up the hard work my dude! 💪🏽
Who has big leaches in there boat in Black color,secrets 😂
Broski Tubes are key players no one has really tossed for ten years flipping or on 5lb test Rollin around Boulders like at Folsom lake same with double tail grubs so on lol old school rocks got mad toads on old school ya'll get caught up on the so so wagon 😂
Nice video Chris. I was a saltwater fisher all my life but I find your content so informative. I don’t fish any more beings I’m 78 but loved it in my younger days. I have great memories with family and friends.
badass bro.
Great advice! I’m also a California guys. Every year I head out to Tennessee ( visit Xpat Cali friends ) typically in the colder months ( January/February ) when the water temps are around 39-42 degrees & the air temperature anywhere from 10-35 degrees. When I tied on a Damiki Vault blade bait my buddy laughed at me. At the end of the day, ( all I fished was the blade ), the fish count was me 15 bass, him 1. Til this day, when it’s cold, that little 1/2oz blade is tied on and has become my #1 winter time bait!
Appreciate you sharing your thought process.
When is the pre rigged dangerous swim bait coming out
Spark Shad all day long🏆🎣
Great video format – like this style. 👏
Love it!
Start with a chatterbait and jig and work my way down to finesse squarebills and ned rigs. Maybe I'll start every day with a big swim or glide bait instead. Great video. Cheers
I had something similar happen last week. Had em following the whopper plopper and a few ate it but felt that there was something better to get those followers. Tried a swimbait, swimjig, jerkbait, but only saw em when I was plopping. Thought they were looking up so I never tried anything on bottom. Even had em patterned on spots based off of follows but only a couple actually ate it.
Please do more of these thank you
Thanks again for all you share with us great info. You the man. Late.
I’m still in Fall mode!! Ready for that winter bite though 🥶
Good stuff 🎣 Today in Ohio the river was 48 degrees and I smoked some big smallies on the new Chad Shad TSG 7” 🔥 They were eating it off the top of the water dude it was a frenzy ! Found a school and got 4 in a row
Glad to see the tips and chatter fishcast bro. Happy to see ya at my home water in Ar. Try larger stream fishing on the fly.
Hold up….. no more mega LIVE?
You need to do a video on that nitro man
Love this new stuff Chris 👍🏻 great tips, thanks
Are there any plans with Bass Mafia to release some 3 to 4 inch swim baits
