    The one thing I’ve noticed this winter season is that the fish are quite lethargic. Due to the cold water temperatures, the fish have slowed down their metabolism and are not as active as they would be during the warmer months. This means that anglers will have to work harder to locate and entice the fish to bite. One strategy for catching lethargic fish is to slow down your presentation and use natural-looking baits. Fishing with hard and soft plastics or live bait, such as worms or minnows, can be effective in catching the fish's attention. Additionally, fishing in deeper waters where the water temperature is warmer can also increase your chances of catching fish. Another approach is to focus on structure such as logs, rock piles, and drop-offs where the fish may be holding up. These areas can provide a source of warmth and food for the fish, making them more likely to be active. In summary, bass fishing in the winter can be challenging. Anglers will need to use a slower presentation and focus on natural-looking baits, deeper waters, and structure in order to increase their chances of success.

    Fishing for large mouth bass in East Lake Toho during the winter season can be a great opportunity for anglers. During this time of year, large mouth bass tend to move into deeper areas of the lake. One strategy for catching them from the bank is to focus on the deeper drop-offs and ledges, where the bass are likely to be holding. Live minnows or jigs can be effective in these areas. Another technique is to target the areas where the creek channels and ledges come close to the bank, as well as along rocky shorelines, where large mouth bass can be found hiding among the rocks and ledges. A variety of lures such as spinnerbaits or crankbaits can be used in these areas. It's worth noting that fishing pressure is generally lower during the winter, which can make it a great time to catch some trophy-size largemouth bass. Overall, bank fishing for large mouth bass in East Lake Toho during the winter season can be challenging, but with the right strategy and equipment, it can also be very rewarding. It's important to locate the deeper waters and structure around the lake where the bass are likely to be holding during this time of the year.
