Winter Bass Fishing MYTHS To AVOID! (Catch Fish When It's COLD)

[@yuuyu35]

As a person up in wisconsin, most of my home waters are frozen at the moment, and lets just say waiting for the ice to melt is a struggle. As one who doesnt like ice fishing mainly due to health reasons, I gotta wait till it warms up here. Been spending my time this winter learning everything I can from you ranging from lures to techniques so when spring and summer comes along, Im going to be prepared for it. Keep up the content!

[@440-fishermandrock8]

I'm from Ohio my dude, and I feel your pain lol. I also don't enjoy ice fishing. Spring can't come soon enough!!!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Let’s go! You are the productive fisherman we all wanna be!

[@brodieclark9337]

I live in NY and it is a huge struggle

[@chriswindberg5010]

Fellow Wisconsite ... I know what your feeling. Very depressing watching the ponds/lakes freeze over!

[@sasquatchsam987]

Im in southern ohio so no lakes have ice but its really cold and snowy so i cant fish

[@134rwa]

Some spot-on information there, and I really appreciate what can be applied to bank fishing.

[@lancetarrance2401]

Hey TRF, it’s Lance, miss you bro, can we keep in touch I want you to help me get closer to god

[@TylersReelFishing]

Always feel free to text me bud

[@theunk8121]

Tyler one thing no one talks about is power plant lakes/reservoirs. In Texas there are several of these lakes and the water temperature stay around 75 degrees during mid fall, winter, and spring. In fact a lot of these lakes are going to see the spawn occurring earlier than most lakes. The problem I seem to have is should I use a fall or spring pattern, and should I consider pre-spawning areas. All the helpful fishing videos I see are geared towards colder water fishing patterns nothing about these types of water. It would be interesting to hear what you think about locating fish in these types of lakes. Thanks and Gig’em.

[@yagottabelieve5116]

Heard about the massive linker…. Congrats!!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Go check out the new video!

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Never give up! I practiced some casting on New Years Day since the bite is nonexistent up here. You can say I also practiced skipping since my lure went bouncing off the ice on my local river 🤣😂

[@TylersReelFishing]

Haha! Easier to skip on ice I bet

[@mattdameron8975]

I just saw your face on TPWD. Please tell me you were recording when you caught that 14 pound fish?! Video to come?

[@TylersReelFishing]

😜

[@CjJones713]

Can’t wait for the new PB video, congratulations

[@codem0de]

Awesome video thank you! Do you ever fish southern California? It's scarce and pressured and generally the weather is consistently warm. Do you think that leads to different patterns and rules of thumb or should the same things apply to a greater or lesser extent? Seldom do I catch a fish on anything other than draggin' a worm or a little soft swimbait.

[@Outdoor_Jack]

I mean all of your videos have made me a better bass angler but I live in CT so it's really hard to catch fishing up here most people i know don't want to fishing in the winter so i just watch videos and learn stuff for the spring but from what i can take i'm more of a shore angler so i will try moving baits and if that doesn't work i'll fish a texas rig or jig (IF THE POND ISN'T FROZEN OVER) my favorite pond is extremely small and it's easy to fish

[@jonathankocijancic1546]

[@scottkessler9602]

[@sasquatchsam987]

I usually dont fish in the winter (usually because my parents say that it is too cold) so i mainly just watch instructional videos on how to catch bass and then when springs comes im full of knowledge

[@farrzmd3038]

Solid video. I’ll definitely start throwing moving baits.

[@noboatnate]

great message here ! simply dont give up.. I’ve had plenty of days fishing summer and winter that were super tough and then I pull out pert near my PB right when I was about to pack up and leave

[@fishingwithvin]

I think you kinda nailed it, didn’t drive it home but yeah it’s just tough going and there’s no one key answer or bait. I found out they’re willing to chase sometimes in the coldest of conditions but I failed to get it to react and bite, it was kinda mesmerizing and sad at the same time because I was astonished that it was chasing my jig as I reeled it in but due to my amazement I didn’t pop or pause the jig while it chased it lol

[@nelsonchiro]

Got my PB (5.25lbs) a few weeks ago on my way in after not catching anything all day! Never give up!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Amen to that!!

[@iRace4Life]

Great info again Tyler! Thank you!

[@highjenks3d]

I'm gonna tell you right now, he may be a pretty boy but, he is giving you strait up information, he does know what he's talking about, everything he said here, I have observed myself, I've caught my biggest fish year after year in winter. I've caught them in everything in the winter that I have in the summer.

[@heavenshound6775]

the water temp is 36 degrees on the shenandoah river, I’m probably better off bird watching than trying to get a smallmouth to bite out here.

[@michaelwatts3754]

If the fish dont group together in winter how are these guys in 46deg water going deep with live scope and finding deep groups of 30 or more bass? Maybe u just phrased it wrong or im misunderstanding?

[@flexx825]

I usually go bank fishing near boat docks with live minnows, tends to catch large mouth and hybrid bass 👌 the ultra light pole is fun fighting them

[@darkreelaction]

I'm struggling with the winter bite myself as well. Thanks for the tips Tyler!!!! Happy New Year bro!!!

[@JoseLopez_1]

Yea I’ve been struggling but my fishing buddy has caught like a 7 -8 pounder two or 3 times a week using the same lures I use it’s frustrating lol

[@TylersReelFishing]

Just keep trying!

[@darkreelaction]

@@TylersReelFishing will do bro!!!

[@HardHeadMilitary]

My son and I, have not had any luck down here in Houston. The fish have been bumping the baits, but they will not take them. We are headed to galveston this weekend.

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

Never give up!! One cast away from a monster bass at any moment!

[@208BASSIN]

All I got to say is when I’m talking about when’s it’s cold It’s like 42 today and ima be fishing a pond later so what should I use ?

[@highjenks3d]

The kids alright don't judge the book by the cover, he's way ahead of the game for his age

[@rodcashman4793]

Main thing is just keep fishing 🎣 cove water plus cast lot's. Great video Tyler.

[@morganfolds1541]

As we push further into January, we in Georgia will begin to go further into the pre-spawn. The second to third week of January is when the pre-spawn starts. It’s slow but will begin to get better as you go further into the winter. I love the pre spawn.

Winter fishing is funny, the fish are so lethargic I thought I was hung up in grass but turns out it was a bass that had given up on life in that moment

[@TylersReelFishing]

[@THIRTYONEFILMS]

Caught a great bass on a whopper plopper about 6ft from the bank yesterday 😂 but I get it. Definitely not a bite I can rely on. When I’m hitting ponds Im winter, I basically do one pass around with slow topwater or chatterbait around the bank before I start my targeted or bomb casts. Always seem to find 1-2 big ones up shallow

Yup, been tough here in Southern California this past winter. Getting sick put a dent in my plans to fish the winter storms. Did catch my first shakey head rig fish last week. And my less-pressured urban creek put out 2 bass and bluegill the other day. Have to get creative and hit places I normally don't.

[@travisbruno1988]

Thanks Tyler this was a great topic and i agree with everything you said from my experience. With NJ winters. God Bless and tight lines 🙏💘🎣💥🐟❄

[@melissamessmer6544]

In Missouri 40 degree or less water temperature I catch them on jerkbaits over deep brush piles and long points generally in 15 to 20 ft then I follow it up with a shakey head once you find them can catch several off same structure it's a grind for sure but well worth it
