Finally getting the hang of it!
 

Winter fishing was never my forte...I have mostly been a "fair weather"
fisherman. But living right on this little lake, I just had to throw a
bait every now and then. It has taken me a month or so, but now I enjoy
it! First I had to learn to dress right! Then I had to adjust my
patience level. Then I had to find the baits, and patterns that worked.
(Thanks Ronnie for the jig n pig advice!).

I have found the ratio of larger bass is greater than the spring and
summer thing....not sure why, but I like it. That ratio has helped me
maintain the patience too!

It's definitely different....less time on the water, less fish, but
bigger ones, totally rethinking techniques, and bringing my rods inside
instead of leaving them on the porch...talk about line memory, just
leave em outside in freezing temps. :).

Damn life's good!
