Preparing For Cold Weather | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Battling the elements and bass fishing go hand in hand. We leave the relative comfort of our houses and offices and place ourselves in Mother Nature's playground, but winter is almost upon us now, and with it comes the inherent dangers of colder weather and water temperatures.
