All,

After 30+" of snow I have a chance to get out tomorrow.  I'll be shore fishing since the water is mostly frozen but have a few places I can get into from land.  Honestly, I'll just be happy to get into the water and practice but, any advice on shore fishing EXTREMELY cold water is appreciated!

Best,

Fish a suspending hard jerkbait with long pauses and very soft twitches. A small crappie jig under a bobber with long pauses and soft twitches (float-n-fly), would be another good option. 

Thanks!  I'll be sure to go slower than slow can be! haha. 

I have a strange feeling there's something waiting for me in a few hours, and in my opinion confidence is the best bait there is!

One thing about cold weather fishing, it can be a great time to land a monster.

I will be on the water as soon as I can get there after I get off work in the morning. 

Move the bait slow.  Deadstick the bait when you are around cover that looks like it might hold bass.

I do well on a shaky head with a wacky worm on it. I fish it very slow and shake it in place then dead stick it for awhile.

Live Bait, but cold water down here is in the 50s, lol!
