During these cold winter months, you really need a fish finder with good sidescan capabilities. Look for store drop offs between 0’-15’ (where bass will feed) and 20’-30’ (where they will stay when not feeding). Throw out a deep diving crankbait in these transition areas. I personally love the 6th Sense Cloud 9 C10. It dives between 10-12 feet. You will need to have patience, because your fish are going to be fewer than the spring, summer and fall months. Using a medium to slow retrieve, bring the crankbait back to you while just barely feeling good it’s action at the end of your rod. Often times in these colder months, the bite feels mushy, like someone put a wet rag on the end of your line. Good luck out there!

Just rig up a dropshot, and cast it out over weed lines. I like to rig up the Roboworm Texas rig so that you can pull it through the weeds easily. Just cast, and let it sit for 5 seconds. If you don’t have a fish, just recast. They will usually hit it on the fall.
