I am very very new to fishing in winter and fishing off a boat (just got one) i use a boat normally during the summer at my parents on guntersville, but now i have it here in knoxville area and would like to know what to do, what to use, and when to go. I am interested in going out with some experienced anglers anytime to learn. I have seen tons of info on these topics but wanting to see what everyone thought in one concise topic. Any help is much appreciated thanks.

I don't bass fish in the winter. The crappie fishing is very good now..........Al
