Took your advice on the finesse jig and it really paid off on some cold Mississippi River smallies.

[@bobpayseno7481]

Good stuff Ben! Thanks very much for the great cold water tips, baits and tackle!👍🏻

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks for watching Bob!

[@bobpayseno7481]

@@brnowak_fishing I need to get some confidence in blade baits because they are great cold water baits.😊

[@MVAdventures930]

Thanks for the tips always enjoy your videos.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@joshuahreha3116]

Content is excellent as usual, thanks for the info man! Good luck fishing!

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thank you so much! You too!

[@gobears63]

Omnia for the win! Best in the biz, thanks for the code Ben.

[@omalysiragusa9747]

Hey brother new here to the channel awesome video! Very informative especially for me since I live in Buffalo NY the temps are dropping and I know soon it’s gone be tough but I mainly bank fish/ kayak fish and I’m gonna use these tips tomorrow actually! Thanks a

[@willtraveltofish]

I fish a lot of lakes in north central Ontario and have been banging slobs since October with the Keitech finesse football and Ned trailer ( all black or green pumpkin) can’t get any more finesse than a Ned lol! Actually caught my PB LMB with that combo two weeks ago. When the water temps hit just below 60 is when the bite fire, in my experience. Great channel BTW! 👊🏼🎣

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thank you!!! In all honesty I forgot to mention a light 1/8 or 3/32 ounce ned or hair jig floated down to bottom. It can be deadly when the bite is tough too. Thanks for mentioning that Also congrats on the PB!

[@fishinforlikes1611]

Great tips as always. I still have to try the skirted jig/ned combo. Curious on seeing a snap attached to your swimbait jighead, any particular reason? I imagine it will give the head more room to wobble on retrieve, but for vertical applications i would think a atraight tie is non-negotiable, no?

[@Sgt6217]

I was thinking that too. I tie a loop knot if I want extra action on the retrieve and a palomar knot for everything else.

[@brnowak_fishing]

The snap is a new addition that I’ve been playing with the last few trips out. There are some major benefits, action being one of them, but I’ll talk more about it in a Swimbait video coming soon

[@Twangtown7]

Nicely done.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thank you very much!

[@dgroves85]

This is true. Even here in Idaho. Temps went from 70’s to 50’s in like a week.

[@brnowak_fishing]

The change was insane. These fish are spread out right now

[@BassManStrikes]

50s? Try 36 in the Milwaukee River 😁

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Great tips great video

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks Jose

[@peterhing3608]

Great video Ben! Unfortunately fishing is over for the season for me as no time anymore and the weather has been cold and wet up here in Ontario, Canada. The boat is stored and winterized for the season so all the best for the holidays and will hopefully be back on the water in 6 to 7 month's.

[@brnowak_fishing]

The end of my season is coming soon! Maybe one or two more trips. We’re getting snow and bitter cold temps here now and with the holidays, it’ll be busy the next few weeks too

[@gman8271]

It’s just starting to get good up in Ontario

[@peterhing3608]

@gman8271 awesome man if you can get out. I have 2 teenagers in high performance sports and work 2 jobs so no time once end of fall going into winter. Just waiting for the snow to fly for ski season! Tight lines man!

[@artvandelay418]

Amazing stuff!!!! I'm learning a lot about small mouth bass. I live in the NY metro area. The water temps get to 40-50 f. I was told to downsize my real speed to a 5:01 -5:81 to keep the bait in the strike zone longer. I noticed you're not using color's like chartreuse, pink purple or other bright colors. Is there a difference?

[@alcav54]

Congrats on the Omnia code! Big time dude

[@brnowak_fishing]

😂 idk about big time, but it’s an honor to work with such a great company

[@alcav54]

They are awesome! Their 15% veterans discount is the best anywhere

[@BEtheFish]

Bring on the blade bait bite! I need it

[@brnowak_fishing]

It’s on up here! Now hopefully the water doesn’t go from 50 to 30 in a weeks time 😂

[@BEtheFish]

@@brnowak_fishing ooooof

[@ryanpilvee4602]

Hey Ben, are you purely dragging the OW sniper in cold water or hopping with pauses inbetween?

[@brnowak_fishing]

It’s really a combination of hops and slow drags. It really depends on activity level of the fish and honestly changes day to day

[@gman8271]

Do you not find that fishing the blade on 8 or 10fc the bait fouls up on the line and ruins your cast? I switched out to a heavier leader and the bait fouls up on the line much much less.

[@brnowak_fishing]

It does definitely foul more on lighter line. Running heavier leader would help but that light line also helps the blade activate more quickly so it’s a trade off and really depends on the mood of the fish

[@sportsock42]

Do you shift the line tie location on your blade baits for different conditions/retrieves?

[@brnowak_fishing]

Not really. I know the front hole will make the bait sit more flat and the back hole will let it fall more nose down for faster fall, but I typically go with the 2nd hole from the front

[@klfishing444]

Awesome

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thank you!

[@mrwhipper21]

Some water temps would have been helpful.

[@willtraveltofish]

In my experience the fall bite starts to really turn on just around 60° or just under. Historically I get into schools of bigs at 55-58. I hope this helps.

[@sportsock42]

He gives temps 3 times within the first 45 secs.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Less than 50* is what I consider cold water/winter temps

[@mrwhipper21]

@@sportsock42 ok didn't think below 50 covered all 4 methods

[@emansfishing827]

Do you usually have double split rings on your blade baits

[@brnowak_fishing]

No sir, just #2 trebles and #6 hooks

[@brnowak_fishing]

@@bryandavis2763 I’ll have to give that a shot! Thanks :-)
