Dropping temperatures

[BigEbass]

your broad question was "what does cold temperatures do to bass fishing?"....and you were inquiring about how to catch them during the winter.....

I would bet if someone can give you a definative answer about what you should and should not do during "cold temperatures" - I could find you another great fisherman that would do something completely different, maybe even the opposite......

I like to go fishing with guys who fish fast in winter.  That means I get nearly all the bites at least here where the water temps are now 41. Caught the smallies really good yesterday,  but not on anyting moving above a snail's pace.

I hooked up with 3 and landed 2 today with 6"+ of snow on the ground. Used the husky jerk and just let it sit. The wind was pushing the lure in so ever few sec i would crank up and twitch the lure. Thats when they hit it. Felt like a jig thunk.

Yes, that wind was tough today.  My clients still caught some really good smallies on our little hair jigs.   Of the 21 brownies, 10 were over 16 inches long, and the largest topped the 20 in. mark. Water temp was 42.
