Winter surroundings

So, it's a cold morning and you're off work but don't want to go fishing.

Well, you don't have to but it would be worth it to just go look at the surroundings.

During the winter season, the corp of engineers drain the lakes and this is where you will begin to do your homework for spring and summer bass catching.

You memorize where important structures are and how deep the water is there or you can measure.

I will observe and say okay there is a lot of brush there or hydrilla in that particular place. Smallmouth and largemouth will hide out around or in these areas when it warms. They will not always be shallow and these are important things to do in the cold months.

When it warms back up and rains, the lake will fill back up and you will not be able to see that structure there anymore but if you do your homework when it's cold and everyone else is sitting at home watching tv, you are sure to catch more bass when it warms up!

I usually try to fish during this time too jus to see if I can catch anything.

Do your homework and observe the winter surroundings.
