[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 239939, member: 10"] I have my best luck winter fishing using a float and fly technique - weighted torpedo bobber with a very light jig and small soft plastic - the same set up I use for crappie fishing but I upsize the hook It is hard to find 1/64 or 1/32 oz jigs with larger hooks but they are around - you want a size 2 or 1 hook 3 - 4" soft plastic minnow style like a sassy shad or Fin-S (wacky rigged finesse worms work well too) Fish them slowwwwwwwwwww cast and then jiggle - let it sit. This style of fishing is actually better if it is windy as the wind will move your bait around and also cause it to jiggle. If it is windy all you need to do is cast and let the wind move it. You want try the lure at various depth - anywhere from 24" below the float to up to 5'. Also, use a light leader as winter bass seem much more line shy - I use 10lb braid with a 5-6' 8 lb floro leader [/QUOTE]
