Spinnerbait

Jig

Rattletrap

In no particular order :D

Start near these pads or any cover and work your way out

we did pretty good last weekend here with water in the low 60s fishing shaky heads near docks in about 5-8ft. of water.

black trick worms.

good luck..... the offshore spoon and jig bite is coming:)

Some of you guys need to come do some real winter bass fishing with me. I am talking about avoiding ice floating downriver, 35 degree water temps, swishing the rod in the water because I eyelets froze shut. Produces the biggest SM of the year though?

I was fishing with my brother near Ocala FL last week. I only had an hour to fish and I got skunked but the next day my brother got a 1lb and a 2.5lb LMB fishing an unweighted T-rigged 6" plastic worm slooooow.

Surface water temp was 70deg in FL - when I got back to TN the water temp was 48...and dropping.

Hey all, my first post here.

A few days ago, from shore, I was throwing a swimming senko with a 1/8 oz swimbait hook by Mustad. Wanted to get the bait on the bottom, which was about 8 to 10 feet. Jigged it along the bottom, and got two nice ones in just a few minutes (all the time I had).

Get that tail going along the bottom.
