I say that because most anglers think about choosing irresistible lures that will entice bass into striking. However, I think anglers should focus more attention on a fish’s natural reaction, especially on those tough days when weather fronts have taken the edge off their aggressiveness or when the fish are getting a lot of angling pressure."

Cold Water Lunkers | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Cold Water Lunkers | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Big bass can be caught in Winter on all lakes, but you must expect fewer bites. Slow down your presentation. Remember, bass are cold-blooded and their metabolism slows down in cold conditions.
One of the best patterns in cold weather will be to fish the major creeks with timber or grass. Position your boat in the middle of the creek and work your lure along the edge of breaklines. Concentrate on major bends in creeks or where feeder creeks intersect. Key in on areas that have the most structure. Find several areas on your lake that have major brush piles and laydowns on creek bends and feeder creek intersections and work them thoroughly."
