hey everyone i know that theres nothing like standing on the deck of a bass boat fishing in the summer but the truth is that you can really fish bass all year round. illusive winter bass are hard to find but they are well worth the effort. If you insist on fishing for bass this time of year, remember they are cold-blooded. They slow down so you should slow down to match them. Fish the smallest bait you can and fish it slower than you can stand to fish. Something that will stay in the same place right in front of a bass for a long time is best. A jigging spoon worked slowly up and down in the same spot may draw a strike from an inactive fish. A worm doodled in one spot by shaking the rod tip without moving the bait might be effective. do you guys ever try these kind of things, have any other tips???
