Cold water jerk baits
Mike Gerry
With this winter of 2022 being some of the coldest we have had in ten, or more, years I start to remember the success I have had fishing jerk baits over the many years they have existed in the coldest of winters.
Winter Carolina rigs

Every year as we move to the wintertime where the bass are staging, getting a bite seems to be exceedingly difficult and a Carolina rig can be fished many ways and rigged differently to entice bass in the frigid winter water.
Winter clear water

Looking at the clear water in the winter can be viewed by many as the death of the day on the water in mid-winter.
Winter bottom fishing

As winter becomes the norm the bass are reluctant to move and chase as we would expect during chilly water fishing. One way I counter this is to find some 10 to15 foot water, near grass, and work a football head jig off the grass.
Longer days ahead

In the winter it is always nice to see the days start to get longer, the change from the winter solstice to increasing daylight always helps the fishing.
