With the water finally getting color and fish settling into winter haunts, do not forget to run a tight wobbling Spro Little John in a craw color over those lay downs. Channel swing banks and even flats by deep water with larger logs on them can hold that kicker size large mouth. You will also run across some big brown ones! The tight wobble of the Little John is a perfect action in colder water.

Braved a blistering cold day, what started out tough ended up being a fun fish catching day. With tough conditions, the ned rig pull it off. Any bluff bank or pocket with wood in the water produced a number of great spotted bass and smallmouth for us

Focusing on secondary points that are windblown, target the 25-30ft range with large umbrella rigs and hang on. Shad are starting to die off. Roll the rig painfully slow through the water column over top of these points for best results.

Points

The largemouth population has finally found their way to the back half of the creeks. If you can find a long deep point that has 1-3 foot steady drop from the bank all the way out to 20-30 feet of water you can find largemouth!

Early winter time, water is cooling off, but not cool enough for the crankbait bite to be in full effect yet. Fishing can still be tough, what better technique for tough fishing than a Ned rig?! Points, transition areas and river channel banks are where I have had the best luck. Equip yourself with a quality spinning set up and just go fishing.
