I do thank you very much for that info. I know that Bass Times articles
have highly stressed crank baits in the backs of creeks for this time of
year, (following the shad). So sad to hear about the two GA guys who lost
there life on Lake Keowee last weekend in that tournament. I plan on hitting
Hartwell on Monday morning, I will have to tie on a few crank baits. Thanks
again for the info. I do appreciate it.

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.
