Not every day has perfect weather, so what do you do? Its easy on the day when fish want to jump in the boat, but some days you get on the water and its just a grind. Tim has some key tips about mindset as he shows you how he builds a limit of solid fish on a day when they're not feeding. Today was all about the A-Rig. Tim could tell in the first few minutes that his bites weren't going to come easy. He was going to have to focus and slow down to catch quality fish. He could have picked up a spinning rod but he knew that if he stuck with the mini flex rig and a slow retrieve along bottom that key bites would come eventually. Mental toughness is a major part of Winter bass fishing, especially on the tough days. Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Tim was using.
