In this episode, pro angler Matt Becker breaks down exactly how to catch winter bass on highland reservoirs across the Southeast. Matt grew up fishing the Great Lakes and glacial lakes in Pennsylvania for smallmouth before relocating to Tennessee, where he now fishes TVA fisheries and deep, clear mountain reservoirs.

We dig into how winter bass position in highland reservoirs, how shad and baitfish change their behavior, the best winter structure to target, and how Matt uses forward-facing sonar, finesse presentations, and power techniques to locate big spotted bass, smallmouth, and largemouth in cold water.
