Struggling this Winter? Tried Everything and just can't catch a fish? There is a reason! This simple technique is going to make your life so much easier! 

If you're struggling to catch bass this Winter, odds are you're fishing too aggressively. The water has cooled down now, the baitfish are moving slower, and you need to follow suit. The key to Winter success if fishing SLOW. Slow is good, slower is better!

We explain the benefits of dragging and show a few fish catches from this past week to show its effectiveness. We're not trying to catch the biggest bass of the Winter with this technique but if you're struggling to get a bite, this will help.

100 Bass Challenge With A Lucky Subscriber!

Huge thanks to Alex Centner for coming all the way from Arizona to shoot this 100 fish challenge with us! It was a grind but we pulled it off! 100 bass plus some bonus crappie and bluegill! 

How many fish have you caught in one day? Catching huge numbers of fish requires focus and commitment but if you take the time to locate actively schooling fish it can be done. By covering water quickly with fast moving baits like the spinnerbait and chatterbait we were able to identify areas that had concentrations of fish. Once the fish were located we were able to slow down with finesse presentations and catch the numbers we were looking for. 

Here's what we used to catch them...

Shaky Head Fishing

Learn how to adapt the shaky head for Spring bass fishing including tips like shortening the worm and changing the way you work the bait to minimize short strikes once the transition to spawn begins.

We've talked about how to throw a shaky head for Summer and Winter Bass but the shaky head is also a deadly bait during the prespawn. Its not the most glamorous way to get a big bite but its incredibly effective. This method shines especially during the transition to the spawn. Once bass have bulked up for the spawn they become lazy as they wait for their eggs to mature. This is prime time to pick up the shakey head and load the boat with bass that aren't willing to chase a faster moving bait.
