    I miss fishing in the winter. I'm now 70 and don't like the cold as much as I used to. Plus, my memory of spending the night on the lake because of a breakdown makes me leary. That is true for this time of year. Nobody on the water for help. So be careful. Thanks for sharing your great tips, and Happy New Year.

      You gotta prep for the cold bud! They got heated socks and jackets now a days. But likenyou said-bobody is really around incase something happens. And at your age that is not safe.

    Thank you for an excellent presentation for best January baits. Next month we’ll be thinking about pre-spawn.
    I’m really impressed with the football Ned head. Our rocky AZ lakes are thieves to my traditional Ned heads.
    In the interim, I resorted to using Neko rigs. Z-Man to my rescue.
    I had to smile a bit when you mentioned that Matt and you don’t get to fish together as much as in the past. Amazing how life nips away at our passions. Then we get old!
    Thank you for being the BEST TH-cam team in 2023.
    I look forward to more in ‘24!
    God bless your families and each of you.
    Happy New Year.

    Winter is a Kayak fisherman's dream, but iced up baitcasters really suck, it's been super cold in the NC mountains but getting out as much as possible and haven't found a bite yet! Last winter they were destroying the blade bait and 3" spark shad, this winter I'm finding schools but they will not eat anything, pressing on here in the mountains but waiting till late in the morning when it gets close to 30, lol. Anyway thank you for the tips and advice, thanks to my girlfriend for the TW gift card I finally bought your tactical wake, can't wait to throw that giant!

    It’s crazy how aggro fish will get when feeding in winter. I just got the Mattlures 7.5” shad in and laughed and asked what would bite it, then I showed her my PB swimbait fish of only 3.5 lbs that massacred the Savage Gear trout I got as a result of one of your swimbait videos.

    Hi Tim , my son who is 13 and I have learned how to fish and about tackle through you and Matt’s channel so thank you for that . We have been adamantly fishing every other weekend for 2 1/2 years now . Unfortunately we cannot afford a boat yet so would it be possible when you mention your top baits for the month could you also point out which ones work from the banks ? We live in south Florida we’re the waters more shallow and full of vegetation so we generally have to use weedless rigs and setups.

    Advice needed! What if your body of water has no lake points or key features? I fish the Ohio river in Louisville, KY area and do well with small mouth and spotted bass until the water temp gets below 50 degrees. Seems that everything disappears. Without electronics what do I need to look for to find these fish again. The current in water deeper than 15 feet makes it hard to hold a jig down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Also thanks Matt and Tim for all the wonderful and informative videos. You both have cost me a lot of money at tackle warehouse. lol cheers and happy new year everyone.

    Quick question kind of off subject Tim, fishing water temps that are near freezing, how do you keep things on your boat from breaking/freezing when temps dip overnight and you boat is garaged for the evening. I seem to never get all the water out of the my live well lines and almost every year I’m having to fix cracked/broken live well lines. I try everything I know to getting all the water out of my boat but seems it is impossible. What tips could you give me to help. Is your Garage heated? Do you have Special bilge heaters? If so what do you use brand wise? Sorry for the long post, but figured a reply may help others with the same problems. Thanks Tim!

My question is on the A-Rig, you guys got me to switch from the snap to a split ring on my hooked baits, but why don’t you add a swivel to your dummy baits? I just started and they seem to run smoother. Thanks.

    Always love the tips. Tactical Bassin is awesome and from my home region...BUT, it is literally impossible to tune the DD crank to run right. It is fine cranked slow. "Speed cranking" with that bait means spun out to me. Literally can never get them tuned.

    • @tacticalbassin
      @tacticalbassin  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You need to clamp the eye (not the split ring) and torque it. Smaller pliers go a long way, but you can 100% tune it 👍

Water was also littered with debris and murkier than usual. Will say only thing I didn’t try was a ned rig so I’ll have to give that a go on the next run out there
