I was out in Tennessee a couple of years ago mid January. Air temps 19-23 degrees, water temps on average, 41 degrees. Mostly fishing Center Hill Lake. Other than a few smallmouth on a jerkbait, I caught 95% of my bass with a Damiki Vault blade bait! I am now convinced that when it’s cold, the bass are locked jawed, and nothing else is getting bit, the Damiki Vault will🎣
Been so busy, this winter fishing has been crazy! So glad I took some time to catch up with the channel! I have learned a lot from watching your videos! Thanks for sharing!! Thanks for taking time to say thanks to the audience I think that speaks volumes as to the stand up guy you are! Look at me geeking out! Smash the like and subscribe you will not regret accepting you are a bass geek!!! But this guy IS THE BASS GEEK🏆!!
I just get weird with it and throw top water in that kind of water. I'm not likely to get many fish no matter what, and getting a top water bite in cold water happens surprisingly often to me. But it's hard. I use a popper and I gotta give LOOOOONG pauses. I've noticed though it keeps the skunk away though, because while bass might be tough to bring to the surface, the bluegill, trout, and pickeral are more than happy to take a jump.
Man, I sure do love your videos and I sure do appreciate all the fishing tips. I’ve been trying some of your techniques and they’ve been working and again I appreciate it for all of us weekend warrior fisherman.
Hey big dog I'm from Louisa Virginia right next to Lake Anna and I fish a lot and you have gave me so many tips that was a fish catching tips I just want to say thank you for all you do I wish there was some way I could buy you a buffet at Golden Corral so we can eat the buffet I'm a big fan of that my brother LOL
#100percentwatchsquad Always great content! Like I said many times before: jigs take me to my happy place! There's something so zen to me about flipping and working a jig. There's a rhythm and a cadence to it that I really enjoy!
I took a few days off from deer hunting and have been beating the bank around the house. Fish are biting good in North Florida, still feeding on shad. You could see the bubbles and oil slicks and scales where they where slamming them.
Love to #jigit during this time of year. I throw that War Eagle finesse jig with pretty good success. Those Xzone ned baits are amazing. Thanks for the video Hank. The "Catch more fish" hoodie is new, right? I have the t-shirt. Now I need the hoodie. #100percentwatchsquad
I just like to talk to you guys once in a while ya know. Then you get these guys the info don't start till 3:15 you talk to much. I like to say thinks to my guys sometime.
@@scottreece2421 10 bucks says you used the co-poly thinking it was fluorocarbon. They label the copoly Fluoro and everyone thinks it’s fluorocarbon. It is not. PRO100 is the 100% Flourocarbon

Thank you and I'm nobody! You all are the reason I get to do this stuff.
My son and I are going out tomorrow. High of 35 degrees here in Wisconsin. But we will be trying.
You must be sending me that weather. From Fri-Fri I'm of and it's going to be highs in the 30's. Oh well time to get the heated jacket out. LOL
@@BassGeek hey man, whatever keeps us out there!
Bought a Jon boat when I already have a canoe but I got the itch to try it out high of 45 for the next few weeks before snow

@ high of 45 sounds amazing!
Exact same knot I use… your the first person I saw use it… glad to know I’m not the only one who uses that knot. Ha
hahaha I love that knot. Easy and fast.
Also your videos are so helpful and i try to watch them when i need help with bait decisions.
I hope I help you out. Thank you for the compliment.
@@BassGeek any time no problem
also when are you drawing and if so how will the winner know they got the lures?
Man, I sure do love your videos and I sure do appreciate all the fishing tips. I’ve been trying some of your techniques and they’ve been working and again I appreciate it for all of us weekend warrior fisherman.
Man THAT IS AWESOME to hear. I love it when I can really help out.
Late Fall "Toad Trip" was definitely worth the effort! Nicely done hammer!
Thank you It was fun.
Bass Geek Nation! Baby! Yes! 🎉
#bassgeeknation
Been a subscriber for awhile now thank you for the tips and on the water videos it really helps when you're actually out there
That is awesome! Thank you for the kind words and supporting the channel. We love to be on the water year round so we do our best to be there.
Dirty Jigs and great lakes finesse make my favorite underspins
Yes they make great ones.
Super baits and helpful tips thanks bassgeek
Thank you

Hey thanks You Canada!

I hope before long I get to come up and fish that lake. I've hear GOOD things about it. So one day we might just do it.
For me in TX, a classic drop shot with a Zoom red finesse worm slowly moving so far guarantees a bass!
It’s a good one
Great video BassGeek great looking baits thanks bud 👍🏻
Thank you!
Another banger video! Thank you as always Hank! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Hey David I hope you and your family have a great turkey day!

Yup. The flipping bite is gone for this year. Water is down 20ft now
@@BassGeek Tomorrow starts draw down on my main lake. Soon you'll be able to easily walk the bank all the way around it!
I appreciate you as well...great content.
Thank you.
we love you bassgeek!!!!!!
Thank you sir.
I took a few days off from deer hunting and have been beating the bank around the house. Fish are biting good in North Florida, still feeding on shad. You could see the bubbles and oil slicks and scales where they where slamming them.
Heck yeah that’s all over up here
Went out today on green river lake never got one in the boat but had fun though I'm doing my weedguards like that from now on
Hey that’s fishing and it helps
Great video Hank! Starting to cool down here in VA so definitely getting to be that time! Great bait selections! #100percentwatchsquad #jigit

Thank you
I was with you till you pushed the K9. Only line that has ever been worse was Prime. I know you remember that crap from 30-40 years ago.
@@scottreece2421 10 bucks says you used the co-poly thinking it was fluorocarbon. They label the copoly Fluoro and everyone thinks it’s fluorocarbon. It is not. PRO100 is the 100% Flourocarbon
@BassGeek well thats because it said Fluoro. I dont care what it was, it was enough for me to refuse to by anything that is K9. Im a Gamma guy.
#JIGIT great video
Thank you Very much
Single digit windchills in the morning here but I still gotta try it.#JIGIT
