Give Up On Bass During Colder Months?

[Pensfan87]

I will fish all day long for bass and when night hits I'll switch rigs for catfish. I live in greensboro and fish for blue and channel cats in the Adams farm community lake with a PB of 19 lbs..... Y not have the best of both worlds? Although if it is a super cloudy day I'll just fish for cats all day seeing as the lake I fish is highly pressured for largemouth

The colder months are pretty much the only times when I do focus on catching bass, I do get out in the summer but not everyday like now.  My day always starts with saltwater but the bite is not real good now, have caught only 1 snook in the last week, being a die hard I won't give it up.  I am doing quite a bit of bass and peacock fishing now, I just have developed a terrible taste for fishing heavy vegetation, even though there are some great fish out there.  I'm fishing pretty much ponds with a light power rod, the fish aren't much more than a few pounds but I'm enjoying it more.

Well this is my first "winter" since i moved here from SoCal 6 months ago but during the winter in SoCal the halibut bite is pretty amazing this time of year so i usually take a little break from bass but now that im here and theres ice everywhere id be happy if the ice melted and i only caught a minnow

I would keep on fishing for bass. In the winter you may not catch that many but its a great time to catch a lunker. Just today I broke through 200 feet of ice to get out to the main lake to catch some bass.

MAN!!!.....That is some THICK ICE!!
