Finesse Fishing Tactics for Cold Water Bass Fishing + Young Gun Strategy

Send us a text In this episode of the Serious Angler Podcast, we sit down with Brian Latimer to break down power-finesse fishing for cold water bass, why he never changes his finesse approach even in winter, how to catch shallow bass in the cold months, and the bait cues he relies on when water temps drop. Brian explains late-fall and winter bass behavior, his swim jig + finesse worm confidence, and how to trigger lethargic fish in cold water without going ultra-finesse. We’re also joined by Tripp Berlinsky, winner of the Bassmaster College Bracket and now headed to the 2025 Bassmaster Classic. Trip talks about confidence as a young angler, breaking into professional bass fishing, who he is as a fisherman, and drops some juice on throwing a big topwater Spook even in tough conditions. 📌 Important Links: Tripp's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trippberlinsky_fishing/ BLat: https://www.instagram.com/brian_latimer/ BLat's Fishing App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/suf-school/id6618120392 📌 Baits Discussed (Click the link and use code SERIOUS10 for 10% off your order): 20% Off Bubba: https://omnia.direct/bu 📌 Click here to start your FREE trial of Omnia Fishing Premium PRO: https://omnia.direct/SAPremiumPRO 📌 This episode is brought to you by our amazing partners: • Amped Outdoors Lithium Batteries (https://ampedoutdoors.com/) • RecLending (https://www.reclending.com/): Looking to buy a boat or RV?
