Bass Fishing Tips: February bass will fool you. If your bite dies right after a warm-up, you didn’t lose the fish—you missed the February Flip. In this episode, Tom Redington breaks down the 5 best baits for February bass fishing and, more importantly, where to fish them and how to adjust as bass shift from winter positioning into early prespawn movement.

You’ll get the February playbook: flipping jig around staging cover, lipless cranks for covering water in the backs, spinnerbaits for thumping through wind and stain, bladed jigs for grass and cover, and shallow cranks when targets are scarce. Tom also explains the “one month before your spawn” rule so the pattern translates beyond Texas.

Then comes the wildcard: when the February Flip hits, moving baits can fizzle overnight and it turns into a soft-plastic deal (stick baits, weightless/wacky, neko, Texas rigs) where deadsticking and slower falls get the bites again.

LiveScope / forward-facing sonar (FFS), shallow power fishing, and spring bass fishing aren’t two separate worlds anymore. In this episode, Nick LeBrun explains how he uses LiveScope as a decision tool and a feedback loop—even while he’s power fishing—to figure out what’s happening faster and stop guessing from late winter through the spawn.

Nick gets specific on the stuff that actually moves the needle: how he watches for followers on moving baits to diagnose “color vs retrieve,” why better fish often relate to something (not just roaming under bait), and a couple of small “cheat code” adjustments that can turn follows into bites—like panning away once you’ve triggered a fish, or letting a minnow fall all the way to the bottom as a last-ditch closer.

We also dig into seasonal decision-making from winter to spawn (including Nick’s contrarian “calendar vs water temp” perspective), plus practical tournament/process advice on efficiency—when to move, how to log boat-position notes, and how to avoid burning fish in practice.

Cold fronts don’t “kill” the bite — they expose the same default mistakes most anglers make. In this episode, I break down what actually changes after a front and give you 3 fixes you can run anywhere: how resident fish make micro-moves (tighter to cover and often suspending), how roaming fish follow the forage (so you have to re-find the bait), and when the right answer is to slow down vs speed up to trigger bites.

We also clear up the timing that confuses anglers: the front itself and the day after can fish great — the real struggle often shows up on the second day when it goes slick, sunny, and calm. Finish strong with the bonus odds-stacker: when to lean on shade or stain/mud so you’re putting casts in front of predictable fish instead of fishing “dead water.”
