My new Bass Behavior Bundle is active. You can join here or find out more by following this link: www.steverogersoutdoors.com/bass-behavior-bundle-info Thank you! Have a blessed day!

Steve what is your bass bundle I keep reading about

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

@@normanwiggins1320 I have got a website I'm working on that will give anglers access to more bass behavior-specific topics. It is starting off with 25 videos and I will be adding more consistently. It also comes with a monthly livestream and a monthly bass behavior newsletter as well. You can follow the link to see the description. It is a monthly subscription site that helps support the creation of all the regular KZbin content. as well as the content that will be posted to that site.

[@normanwiggins1320]

Thanks Steve I'll check it out

[@rousefire]

Best content on KZbin.

Thank you! I appreciate it.

Tactical Bassin is pretty good too

[@somewhereinsd362]

I love how u keep it simple for us regular guy fisherman to learn and apply these tips and strategies, thank you... we are losing ice here in SD.. these " spring" themed videos keep me inspired..

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Good luck! You will be out there soon!

[@mikewelter180]

Great information once again! Thanks for what you do Steve.

[@anthonybenoit222]

Great information for the upcoming season

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Can't believe Feb is almost over. Wow. We'll be talking about hot summer fishing before we know it.

[@pensnut08]

1) You ain't kidding!!! I am in the South and we got some nice temps the past few days (except Saturday LOL) and I was out on the lake for a bit today and EVERY boat was up shallow.. It was one boat after another on the same exact spots... Per my electronics we are still at about 49 degree water temps.. I did mark some 52 degree water, but that was WAY back in a creek arm, in about 2 feet of water.. I was checking a favorite snag/tree back in there for lures :)

Hello Mr. Rogers my name is Ryan Lenahan and i was i student for you in 5th grade! A thing a remember in that class was that you read us a book the i believe you made or created. I was wondering have you published or given this book a name? Thank you.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Hi Ryan! I got so busy creating all my fishing content, I haven't actually pursued getting it published lately. I was actually thinking about it the other day and was going to pull it out and reread it. Hope you are doing well!

[@ryuwifvfvsf]

@@SteveRogersOutdoors Thank You!

[@rayabel1116]

GREAT VIDEOS STEVE.

[@WilliamBaywood]

This information is extremely valuable , thanks for your hard work to make and share this !

[@DrGargani]

the usual excellence from you.....this season, my buddy and I will have 360 on our small boats, and we are hoping it will help us to spot some of the those subtle stopping spots that you are talking about.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

It definitely will. You are going to really love it.

[@stevencaldwell838]

Again, great video!

[@LowBrowFishing]

Those are some excellent points! I know I get excited every year for the pre-spawn and can get a little ahead of myself. But I need to be mindful of what those bass are really doing based on the conditions and time of year.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

It is soooo hard not to go super shallow. I struggle with it all the time.

[@castingacrosstexasfishing]

Great tips as always .

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@bradr.7249]

Great advice Steve. I went out last Saturday and only caught three. I think I was fishing too shallow and should have covered that 15-20 foot range. I had blue bird sky and 50 degree water. I think maybe the full moon might have been a factor also. I truly believe most bass feed at night, no matter the season. There is always next weekend. Thanks Steve!!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That depth range is something that I am always trying to get right each time out. Some days I nail it and other days it is a swing and a miss. So exciting that warmer days are approaching. Although, it is also the time of year for super high winds. Lol.

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Awesome video!!! A lot of good advice to follow!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!🤠👍

Great video I got to fish Saturday got on lake about 1030 about my 5th cast with a jig i caught 6lb drifted away while looking for my scale about 10 minutes went back made same cast got bit and it was another good one got it close to boat it made a run under boat got in trolling motor and got off but i seen it up close as i got it to top it was a big or bigger than the one I just caught made the same cast again and caught a 3.5 lb all out of the very same spot. I caught about 10 fish that day was a fun day and I thought about how you say they hang together a lot and to work a spot over good when you catch one

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That is awesome! What a great day and thank you for letting me know.

[@jeffreyrodgers5835]

I call it the spot on the spot. If your cast is off by a little they won't bite it also it's a great thing to just be stealthy as possible once you figure it out. Boat control is everything

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I was just out now and wow, were the fish super spooky. It was important for me to try and be as stealthy as possible for sure. That spot within in the spot is so true. Miss it by just a little and nothing.

[@raymaylone8563]

Great stuff! Awesome idea to add Google Earth to your videos. That should be a definite addition to all! So much more helpful keep up the great stuff! Almost time to put the boats in the water here in PA.

[@mengkhang1037]

I'm not a fan of fishing bass during their spawn. But I can see the appeal for those that struggle to target them any other way. To each your own. Bass are fun to catch but leave them be when they're trying to shack up.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I do my best to leave them alone up there on my home lakes for sure. It is just a small body of water. Spend lots of time filming them underwater instead.

[@clydesharman2053]

What is making bass stop on any one area Like the tire or a rock? What’s special about it I saw no bait swimming around holding to these

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That is a terrific question. It has to be hard-wired into them somehow. I remember seeing an experiment years ago where a bunch of baby bass were put in a small plastic pool. They used a black marker to color a circle on the bottom and those baby bass gathered right around it. I should try to do some experiments to investigate this more.

[@chefjoelmann7]

need tips for very cold water spring fishing (45 degrees). I was fishing a large lake with depths of 30 feet or more. tried shallow, tried middle water column and deep. no luck. 3 other guys on the lake also got nothing. please help

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Did you happen to see any other signs of life anywhere? When it is really tough out like that, I try to find some other life wherever I can. That will help with locating the right part of the water column. As the day goes on, if the sun is out, they will move shallower and get on hard structure, but if you have some history on the lake I would start on some of the places you have had the best success over the years. Focus on the bottom edge of whatever that structure/cover is. If they are still deeper, you will probably have to really let the lures soak and barely move. In those scenarios I like to use a really small soft jerkbait, 2 1/2 to 3" and either fish it on a Damiki type head or a drop shot. On those bright sunny days, do a quick check of some really shallow water too where the sun is hitting hard. I've caught bass in really shallow water with those temps and was actually fishing below them most of the day until I figured it out. But that is a bright, sunny, afternoon type of a bite in cold water. I hope this helps some.

Hey, Steve

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Hi Shannon! Been thinking about you all week and still sending lots of prayers that way.

[@shannonkirby9295]

@@SteveRogersOutdoors they say she has a few days...maybe. week. Thanknu so much for the prayers

[@jeffevans4711]

Table Rock is the lake I fish.im actually closer to Beaver lake but I hate fishing Beaver.it can get too dangerous and Table Rock has always had the better fishing IMO

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I love Table RocK. I have fished Beaver as well. Some great lakes in the Ozarks.

Thanks!

[@kidiraq8381]

On the lake now. Been here since 7am. Can’t find a thing, hence why I’m on KZbin. 50-53 degree water. I’m ready to sell the boat and take up golf.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I have been there too. I did golf for awhile and I was not so good. Lol. You're going to get on them soon. I know you will!

[@ak99]

Is it too early for a frog?

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Great question. A frog can be used much more often and earlier than we often think. If you have lots of life shallow in your waters, a frog can definitely be a successful lure right now.
