Welcome back to the Bass Fishing for Noobs show! We’re super excited to get the year started for the Paddle N Fin podcast! We’ve got a lot of great ideas coming this year and what better way to get the year started than by learning cold water bass tactics with Chris Gorsuch from Reel River Adventures! Chris is a guide on the Susquehanna River and has tons of experience and success. He takes clients out year round and just a quick peek at his facebook page, and you’ll quickly realize that he knows cold water fishing.
Chris breaks down how he locates bass in cold water. He identifies the types of water he targets, and some subtle tips for finding that water when scouting locations. Chris also goes over boat positioning when you are in the right area.
Chris then goes over his top 3 baits for cold water bass fishing and his techniques and tips for each one. He covers blade baits, jerkbaits and his go-to cold water bait, the Chillee Willee from Fitt Premium Lures (link below). Chris didn't mention it on the air but he did also add that he loves the sled head from Jigmasters lures for keeping soft plastics on the hook.
Chris and Sean then finish out the show with some tips on staying safe and comfortable fishing in the cold and Chris shares some final thoughts on staying focused while out on the water.
