Winter weather has set in, cold , windy days make fishing a little tougher for sure. For the serious angler, the bass are still biting, it just takes some work. Fish are holding near rocky structure, the water stays warmer. Find any grass or hydrilla in these areas and you will get a bite. Top water early is working, flukes, frogs and buzz baits are a good choice. Lipless cranks work as the morning moves on. Finish up with a jig or a Texas rigged worm.
Be sure and take some of the mid sized fish home to eat, we need to harvest this size bass to help improve the size of the fish in our fishery.
Crappie are doing well now that the weather has cooled down. Trolling has become popular again, work the creek or river drops. Night fishing around the bridges or causeways is in full force now.
Jug fishing for catfish is ongoing in the creeks. The wind makes it a chore to keep up with them but the good meal is worth the extra effort.
Bank fishermen are catching pan fish on wigglers.
Be sure and dress warm, keep plenty of water onboard and do not forget the sunscreen, we burn up in cold weather as well.
Visit www.alabamachildrensclassic.org and see the exciting things we are doing. We now have Skeeter, Legend and Triton supporting us with bonus money programs, others have committed, we are waiting to appear on their schedules.
God Bless & Good Fishn'
