Every Bass Fisherman Needs To Know This About Winter Fishing 

Thanks Johnny . You are no dought the best bass teacher I have ever seen ..wish my forgetter didn’t work so good .

One of my favorite “Fish the Moment “ videos!

Thank you Jonny for another exceptional instructional video. I’ve learned so much from you. You are truly the bass professor!

As always, excellent content and visual aids. Thanks Jonny

Excellent video!!!

Since I started watching you . I have learned a lot . Since I am a amateur bass fisherman I am very thankful for your value information you put out

I'm shocked that you don't have 500k subscribers by now! I've watched ALL of the big bass fishing channels and yours is on another level! Keep it up brother!

Need more of these types of videos! Awesome!

Great info Jonny! Thanks for the great info you continuously put out on your channel.

Great video, always learning!

Wow I’m impressed with your breakdowns

Excellent. Thanks Jonny

Another great video! Loved all the details. And love the magic exposure of the A-Rig at the end. I love the A-Rig, I say throw it, and I hope/wish you would do more A-Rig videos!

Thanks for giving up the juice like always

Excellent video here, Very helpful. Awesome work.

Great video man! Very informative.

Thank you for the video brother

Awesome job Johnny

Thanks for the video, and tips I am a electronics fisherman as you are, and consider myself pretty salty catching deep fish. I use your jigs great product. I have just put an order in on the vision 110 + jerkbaits this is a technique I want to get better at thanks for all the great videos you my friend have put a lot of money in my wallet sir 👍🏻

Your garage setup goes hard 🔥

Another good video thanks

Thanks Jonny, excellent video! I really appreciate how you cover every possible scenario so well. My closest home lake is a lowland res with very dirty water and I could never figure out where to look in cold winter water. You covered it beautifully as always. Thanks again and keep the vids coming. FYI: Absolutely loved the Fishing “Jeopardy” on the live stream. I had a great time(and scored a decent 300 even). You and Randy are still my favorite channels.

Great info!

Thanks for the great advice.

Great stuff

Details galore! Thanks!

Amazing information

Hey Jonny, I really appreciate your video’s. I’ve been fishing for 40 years( catfishing, fly fishing, occasional bass fishing) however, I’ve just jumped in the rabbit hole of real bass fishing. There’s more to it than I could of imagined. This is my first winter, and I’m struggling. By far my hardest struggle, are you still doing on the water lessons? I would really appreciate your time!! I absolutely love fishing and see this as a challenge

Thanks Jonny for all you do My fishing has improved from watching your vid's

Thanks Jonny. I’ve been out there fishing a few times this winter mostly jerk bait fishing and having some success. Best so far was a 19 incher on a rock crawler. 47 degree water in two feet on shoreline cover! Guess they can move shallow almost any time. Your info helps me alot

Thanks for the info man!! Great content!

Very great tips thank you

Thank you Jonny would love a video on how to identify creek channels using a contour map. thanks again great info .

Try downsizing the plastics on the Arigs. You'll get more bites with 3" swimbaits than with 5" swimbaits . We catch 25-35 lb rockfish on 3-4" swimbaits on our Arigs

Great video

Good stuff Jonny! I know you have to limit the number of baits to use for the list could go on and on. Lol. I would assume in those ditches, the underspin and blade baits are not too far behind. :-)

I like your stuff even though I target mostly shallow bass and you concentrate on offshore techniques. Post spawn I will fish deeper water and your content has been helpful for the limited time I spend doing that. Your videos are really well done and your techniques are well presented which is unique on RU-vid. What I find somewhat amusing is how you teamed up with Randy. You use your electronics alot and he, like me, is somewhat averse to relying on them, especially FFS 😉 I really enjoy both your channels I just find you two an unlikely partnership. Just an observation I thought you might comment on. Not a criticism

What about blade baits? Caught a couple of giants before ice on an underwater straight drop-off from 15ft to 30ft

Got my first boat last March and having my first full season of fishing. November and December were phenomenal on the smallmouth front biggest bags of the year. January so far 4 trips 1 bass 🤦‍♂️

Great video!!!! Are you still going to do the Crankbait, Jig and jerkbaits only challenge for the entire year?

My kid fishes for the middle school league, and everybody seems to be getting whooped this season. I’m going to get on google earth and try to locate some of the places you suggested and get him out there. Thank you.

Great Info. Love jerk bait fishing

In Randy’s videos he preaches spinning rods and six pound line with the jerk bait. Can you give the juice on why you use bait caster on your set up and what line size. Now I have two bait casters and two spinning rods rigged up and switch back and forth between the two. I will have to admit that spinning reels have given me a lot of misery over the years regardless of how the line was spooled on. They have turned a lot of good days on the water into bad days.🤣

I was hoping there was going to be a Spy Bait in this bait list. I’m getting setup for a tourney on a highland reservoir, and all the baits you’ve listed all make sense, but I also feel Spy Baits are one of the most underutilized baits. Anyways, love the channel, definitely one of my go to’s for getting great fishing info. Keep it up man. Tight lines 🇺🇸🎣🤙🏽

Break down guntersville lake for February say browns creek or state park

Good info but this information has been known for over 75 years , thanks to Mr. Buck Perry !!!!!!

Wish someone would cover natural lakes in this detail since that’s all I fish

What swimbait heads are you using on the arig? Look to be weedless design.

I wish you'd make videos like this for crappie and other fish...forget bass..i want some sammiches.

Question from the lamen. If you're fishing in 50 feet you're fishing straight down or casting pendulum style to the botttom on the fall. Right ? Big Jig ?

I guess randy got you using megabass now

quick question if you have a minute: on your first example of flat spot/secondary point/highland reservoir... when you went to the low water view, to show the angle/slope of the areas... the steeper areas has chunk rock. the flatter spots looked more featureless/coverless/clay. are there compounding factors that involve rock/chunk vs just flats at this time of year? most stuff I run across talks about finding transitions between chunk, pea gravel or rock/clay... can you maybe weigh in on this?

Jonny, thanks for the detail. I live in San Diego County and fish lakes that are typically man-made reservoirs with steep banks to create more water storage areas. A little confused on the distinction between "highland" vs. "lowland" reservoirs. What distinguishes one from another? Altitude, geography, average depth, etc. Thanks.

what kind of head do you use on the ala rig

More 🔥🔥

Do pvc fish attractors show up on side imaging? Like the Georgia DNR pvc cube fish attractors

Do you find crappie in these same areas during the winter? Tysm!

Can you do a lake break down on a lake like Greers Ferry. Very deep and all rock.

What is your thoughts on the rip stop have 3 one shallow and 2 deep? Any advice would be appreciated

Hey Johny are y’all still doing the podcast I haven’t seen one since aug 5

I will never understand guys who get upset about throwing the A rig- why? It's not a magical bait, ppl act like the fish are just powerless to resist it when the reality is, it's like any other bait I've ever thrown in that you need the right time and location for it to work. And yes, there are multiple baits on the rig but- that's precisely how a spinner bait works to- especially the multi bladed spinners, and no one has an issue with them. Ppl throw the donkey rig without anyone getting upset- two baits, two hooks, good chance of catching doubles- just like an A rig. Do bass sometimes get more than one hook in them- yes, but I've never had it harm a fish. I'm sure it has at some point- one of them caught it in the gills or something, but I've had that happen with everything from ned rigs to crankbaits. The truth is, the A rig doesn't hurt bass any more often than any other bait. I tell you what guys don't like about it- just a few days ago I listened to Todd Castledine complaining about how mere amateurs were doing about as well as him at some lake he was practicing at because they were throwing an A rig- and he didn't think that was right. He felt it was unfair for them to enjoy as good of a day as him when they hadn't put in the time and effort he had. As a pro he has of course put in far more time on the water and developed his skill much further and he wants that to matter- how dare someone think they can be his equal. This, imo, sums up in a nutshell why guys don't like an A rig- ego.

I have a gps/finder with no side view….. am I at big disadvantage? Need some help just trying to up my game….thanks

Can you only take the water down on reservoirs? All the body's of water I have around me don't show different levels of the water on Google earth it only shows the surrounding land changing. Water levels definitely change around me cause they have a winter and summer pool and I've physically these pools in person. Also I'm using the historical data on Google earth, is there another tool I can use on Google earth to bring the water down?

My winter water temps are usually 60 to about 62 degrees. What advice could you give me..? 🙏🙏

Channel swings don't have to be against a bank right?

Possible to see google earth history on iPhone?

What gloves are you wearing?

Could a bank fisherman get away with throwing soft plastic jerkbaits/flukes?

All these points sound like they only work around a creek channel. What if there is no channel

Ditches get fishes 😂

Why don't you break down tidal water, rivers?

Honest question.. if Bass University is charging $120 for acces to thousands of videos for a whole year, why would we spend $100 for 1 seminar video of yours???

my😅no h i😅

Title is very misleading and video not helpful. I only have inland lakes - no reservoirs. So not what every fisherman needs to know. Do not like this video.
