Where to Start When its Cold?

February 27, 2018 by Clark Wendlandt

When the weather starts getting colder and water temperatures drop, the first thing I do when I put my boat in the water is look at my Garmin 7612 to find where the bait is and what the topography looks like. A lot of times in this cold weather, fish will come out of the creeks onto the main body of water and suspend, so you will want to concentrate on fishing stuff that is vertical, fishing baits that work vertically, like a jig and spoon, something that will work up and down, or fishing a jig very slowly. Or if your depth finder tells you the bait is suspended, often the bass will be suspended, and you can catch them on a jerkbait or maybe a tight wobbling crankbait or a swim bait that doesn’t have a lot of action. It will be a little trial and error, but understanding what bait and bass do when the water is cold is key.

Turkey down! Called this one in, and he came on a dead run. To me, there’s honestly nothing better than turkey hunting. Bass Pro Shops Cabela's TrueTimber #teamoutdoors #bassproshops #cabelas #truetimber #turkeyhunting ... See more

When it comes to throwing a crankbait, you’ve got several line options, but Sunline Sniper is my go-to! #sunline #sunlinepro #strikeking #ownerhooks #teamoutdoors #bassfishing #fishingandhuntingtexas Fishing & Hunting Texas ... See more

That was a rough tournament. Fork is a Great Lake but you have to be exactly on the right deal to compete. Day 2 just snowballed on me and I failed to catch ‘em. I’m moving past it and looking forward to Neely Henry. #teamoutdoors #basselite ... See more

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year It is hard to put in to words how it feels to have the greatest accomplishment of my career occur in the context of the most chaotic year of my life, and I imagine many of yours too – 2020. But in the midst of all the chaos, my job, while disrupted for a few months, resumed after a few months thanks to the efforts made by B.A.S.S to provide a full season for us. I am so appreciative to them and my fellow anglers for pulling together to make this happen. And … Read More...
