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.
