Who's ready for some colder water temps? I love fishing this time of the year. The bass will group up together really good on some winter time holes plus they are fat!
One lake I fish they are some areas that are 20-35ft. Hair fly's, ice jigs and spoons are good when water gets below 47 degrees. I've caught them as deep as 50ft.
the guy i fished with last saturday caught bass on Christmas at buggs island from 47 to 4'. he was mad that he could catch them shallow. he wants them all off the bank.
if you have clear water to fish this is a fine time to catch them.
and next weekend looks to be very favorable weather wise.
