Bass Fishing Unwrapped: Christmas Eve Bass Fishing!

Come along for a fun day on the water! Tim is targeting offshore bass this Christmas, and it doesn’t take him long to start getting bit! He kicks the catching off with a Spotted Bass, followed by Smallmouth, Largemouth, and even a big trout! When bass are targeting baitfish, you never know what you’ll catch!

Many anglers focus on slow bottom contact presentations this time of year, but Tim has located fish that are attacking bait balls in open water. He gets a few bites on the jig and A–Rig but it’s clear these fish are ambushing baitfish and that means one thing… it’s time for the jigging spoon. Tim quickly ties on 3 different spoons and gets to work!

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear he used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact colors, sizes, as well as his top rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
