Fishing in cold water can be one of the most frustrating times of the year. You pull up to your favorite spots, and the fish just seem to be gone. But here is the reality: they haven’t disappeared—they’ve just relocated.


In this video, I’m breaking down exactly where bass go when the temperature starts to drop. We are going to look at the general movements bass make during the winter transition, how to predict their location, and the specific types of structure they hold on to.


Finding them is only half the battle, so I am also sharing the only 3 baits you need to effectively target cold water bass. These lures cover the water column and trigger bites even when the fish are lethargic. Whether you are a beginner angler or just looking to solve the puzzle of winter fishing, this guide will help you turn a cold day into a productive one.
