Where do you guys find the bass during the late fall through the winter? I fish a small lake that is basically one large main lake, no coves. I've read all the winter and fall fishing articles on the "fishing articles" section but none of them really hone in too much on where to find the fish. Thanks!

Does this lake have a spring, creek, or river feeding it or is it a large pond?

Off shore ledges, channels, and humps. Usually at the same depth as the baitfish.

I get mine off the outside weed edges .mostly jigs

Any depth maps for this lake you could get your hands on?

It is a 150 acre lake with two small feeder creeks, but even my bass raider can't go very far up these creeks. I do have a topo map I can post when I get home this evening.

Creek Channels in the lake

How deep? By the dam it is 50 feet deep, and I would guess that is below the thermocline. The creek channel runs the length of the lake so I can fish it at any depth. I attached screenshots of the topo map if that helps.

Um cant get a sense of distance but I'd be near that feeder creek which drops nicely into 50 ft of water and looks to me theres a point there as well though the map is cut off there.. thats where I'd be if I were fishing from shore or boat to start off.. fishing the point and the drop offs looking for any structure on the dropoff or on the bottom
