The biggest issue with bass fishing in Winter is apathy. We just keep doing the same things we did the rest of the year and believe its going to keep working, despite the unique conditions we’re now facing. Experience has shown that isn’t the case and you absolutely need to adapt to Winter conditions if you want to be successful. From time of day, to the retrieves you use, right down to the colors of your lure, Winter demands a whole new approach to fishing on your lake.
