Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Bass fishing in the winter and pre spawn time is the perfect time to fish jerkbaits and other slow moving lures. Ins this tournament fishing vlog video, I am fishing with Grant against 2 other teams including Andrew Flair and The Fish Whisperer. We are in winter but the warm weather and high water temps from the power plant lake have the surface temps in the low 70's. This has convinced the largemouth bass that they need to start getting ready to spawn. Grant and I are are fishing drains creek drains leading into major spawning flats using a jerkbait and a jig. Jerkbait fishing is perfect for this time of year where bass are suspending in upper half of the water column to warm up. Fishing a bass jig on the bottom can also be effective at targeting docks and trees that around close to these spawning flats and the creek channels leading into them. This lake had standing timber in it, which made it very easy to see exactly where the creek channels are and it created a map of where the bass are moving in and out of. We found the the smaller male bass were moving up on the flats when the sun came out to start feeding and getting ready to make beds for the big female largemouth bass. The bigger bass liked to stay along the creek drains close to the timber. We targeted these big bass by throwing the jerkbaits and jig as close to the cover as possible and using a few seconds of pauses between hops and jerks. Bass fishing these creek drains with jerkbaits and jigs can be a pattern for catching big bass in winter all the way through the post spawn.

OK, I am sure that someone is going to jump right smack into me for this. Big motor running and no life vest? I, myself, am an avid fisherman, fished many tournaments and am 67 years old. Not a good example for younger fisherman for women. As you have fished many big tournaments you know that no one starts the big motor without the vest on. I have seen this on YouTube by many but still must talk about it. I have lost 3 friends to accidents and no vest. Had they had a vest on they all would still be fishing with me today. Please dont take this the wrong way but we need to set a good example. I do enjoy the videos and you are a good example for our young people. God Bless young man.

Please keep making these videos. They're informative and relaxing. I have never been there, but hopefully I will be in a position in 2017 to take my 10 yr-old son. I live down in Seabrook, by Galveston, and there is a small private lake called Lake Mija here in my neighborhood. The lake record for largemouth is 8. 43oz, but I've only caught a 2+ pounder. In fact, I bought my son a pedal boat for Christmas so he can now fish all the bulkheads/piers that edge the shoreline. Keep up the fine work and God bless you and yours.

Justin, Justin, Justin, I have to laugh dude. You are taking these 15 - 16 bass and chucking them out of the boat like they were nothing. I cannot fathom catching that amount of quality fish. YES, you were in a tournament of sorts but WOW, what a rush. Maybe some day God will let me have a day like that. Great video and thanks for the tips. God Bless and Tight Lines. Oh yeah, I sad in the beginning I have to laugh, it hides the tears well! LOL

Justin. you are a man of good character and integrity. you treated justin with such respect. Truly would love fishing with you some time! happy new year to you and your wife!

I like the beat you dropped around 8: 00 in. It made me want to go into a field and smash a copy machine. For you younger kids, that was an Office Space reference.

Great video! I have a question - how do you know when it's pre-spawn? Is it time of year? What is the difference in bass behavior from winter to pre-spawn?
reply

reply

What's up Mr LakeForkGuy, what color, size, and type of jig were you using and trailer? I am one of your biggest fans and watch you all the time.
