Was wondering if any of you could tell
me what works best in winter.

I consider this weather in the south late fall - I like crankbaits shallow
around rocks and wood cover from November thru March. As long as the water
temps stay above 45 I can catch some bass on that pattern. If it is above 50 it
is even better.

Last Sunday the water temps here in middle GA were in the upper 50s - 58 most
places I checked. I landed five bass weighing 11.67 pounds in a club
tournament, all on a Fat Free Shad in 7 feet or less. Guy that won had a 6
pounder and five at 13.42 on crankbaits, too. My partner landed four weighing
5.92 on crankbaits.
