Winter doesn’t have to be tough! Today we’re on Watts Bar Lake after a storm. Its cold, post-front, and windy, but that won’t stop us from catching a pile of fish! Come along for an awesome multi-species day of fish catching as we dial in a pattern by simplifying our approach.
Many anglers have quit fishing by now in favor of hunting, or just staying indoors. Don’t be that guy! There are fish just waiting to be caught and the lake is the most peaceful you’ve ever seen it. As Winter sets in, bass group together and become very predictable. If you narrow down your offerings to a few key baits, you can have an amazing time on the water! Today is a prime example of that as we caught Largemouth, Smallmouth, Striped Bass, White Bass, Yellow Bass, and Drum, by slowing down with a finesse Underspin and an A-rig.
Keep it simple, focus on key confidence baits, and you’ll have amazing days on the water this time of year. Below are links to the exact baits we used throughout the day (including sizes and colors), along with links to the rods and reels. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
