Tom's bass fishing tips episode 1. Cold water and short bite windows make December bass fishing tough—but it’s also one of the best times to locate winter and early pre-spawn spots before everyone else. In this episode, Tom breaks down the five best baits for December bass fishing that actually produce, plus one bonus bait that keeps getting bites when nothing else will. Whether you’re fishing grass, rock, docks, or deep structure—with or without forward-facing sonar—Tom shares exactly what works right now and how to fish it.

What you’ll learn: • When and where a Frittside 5 or Dime crankbait outperforms everything else • How to fish a bladed jig in winter grass and docks to find spring spots early • Why the flutter spoon still crushes even without LiveScope • How to fish a jighead minnow from bank to boat, scoping or blind casting • The soft-glide swimbait retrieve that consistently calls up giants • A bonus drop-shot setup that gets bit on post-front, bluebird days • Color, retrieve, and line adjustments that actually matter in cold water
