Come along as we look at the top baits for bass fishing in February! February is awesome! It’s time to start power fishing again! Yes, the water is still cold. Yes, it’s still Winter, but the the fish can sense that the very early Spring transition is right around the corner! Fish are about to start eating different lures, using different spots, and getting really fun to catch!

Despite the continued cold, the fish seem to know the end is in sight and they start moving, regardless of weather. February is an awesome time to fish! You can forget the Winter struggles and start loading the deck of your boat with jerkbaits, crankbaits, A-Rigs, swimbaits, and other fun power fishing techniques!

  1. Hey Matt, I know you guys are down south. I'm up towards the Indiana/Michigan line. were still on ice lol. Can you start giving water temps in these monthly bait videos? Typically Ill add 30 to 45 days to each video. But I'm curious on the water temp when you make these videos.

    Also when you guys want to chase bass on the ice come up, its a different game.

  2. I would throw that mini rig in the trash can. Sorry, I haven't had a chance to be an asshole today and just jumped on it. But really man,their mouths aren't really small enough to single one out and bite that one

  3. Bro, could you PLEASE just do a tutorial on not getting hooked in the fingers?! The way you handle the lures and just get smacked with the hooks…you NEVER get hooked. How?! lol

  4. The A rig should just be banned or at least frowned upon lol. I have a small one and it catches fish every time I throw it so it’s not really fishing, just catching. Unpopular opinion but I want a little bit of a challenge

  5. Im at Lake Fork, warmer trend coming for the next week…..i know yall been here…..
    I want to get out and need help getting a grip on where and how to have a good time….thank you for all rhe info guys.

  6. Matt, how in the Hell are you wearing flip-flops when it's cold?! I can't do that, but I'm impressed! That being said, it's a great video, my friend. It's gone from the 30s to 60s here within two weeks. It's really crazy, but on the river things have been very unusual this year as we go into pre-spawn. I have no idea what is going to work now, but the demiki is still going strong. Crankbaits, not so much. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the video!

  7. Can someone translate this into Northern fishing? The most difficult part for me in trying to learn from YT fishing, everyone is in the south and I feel like I need a translator to know how to interpret the difference in weather, seasons, patterns, etc.

  8. another great video. I am heading to a 140 acre water supply lake in Bardstown ky that i catch big fish every winter. A rig tomorrow as long as i can stand it and probably throw a red eye. not to get off topic but does cece still have her 198 ? been looking at new skeeters caymas and falcon. If i could locate a 198 I would have to consider it, my 95 181 has never let me down and i am the original owner. thanks guys

  9. What if we are iced up? When we get open water, what baits/season do u consider? Are tgey moving up and more active in Feb but under the ice? I know the ice/cold definitely shorten and delay our seasons but idk how much

  10. I had the Gloomis swimbait rod on back order all last year and it finally came in just when it was time to put boat up. So I am pumped to get out and throw the big baits. PB or bust like Bossman said.

  11. Megabass is coming out with a Vision 110 SR that will be a shallow version. I haven't seen them sold standalone yet, but Megabass put them in their bass version of their 2025 Lucky Bags. I expect to see them more readily available soon.
