Nico is right on the money. And a jig and pig is a good option for the winter. I, however, have had greater success dartheading 4" worms. I know its a slow and agonizing presentation, but when its cold and the fish are inactive, it has proven to be unbeatable. Hey Nico..... Do you have any more info on McClure? I have a club tourney there in Jan. and have never fished it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tight Lines,
Clay
Here fishy, fishy, fishy......

*It is easier to locate bass on steep banks*. on berryessa , a buddy of mine fallowed the flats out hundreads of yards until it reached about 35 feet and he just trolled a grub and caught 60+ bass. The good thing about what he was doing is that the fish he was fishin for probobly hadn't seen a bait in over a a month. maybe never at all! tight lines Ryan

I see a lot of patterns here for a lot of different types of water. I think that the type of impoundment and where it is located along with the forage base adding in the competitive factor of the other predatory species present will give you some idea as to where you need to start at your impoundment. Spoons are out at clearlake yet they are killer in the deep water impoundments. Jigs are better later in the year in so cal but up north you wouldn't be with out them now. While I'm hard pressed to say this and must of my co-horts might not believe I'm going to say this. A plastic worm is the through the year bait! Presentation wise you can vary your sizes,and areas"deep or shallow" and and the other factors for being in the zone,,,, splitshot,dropshot,carolina,texas,darterhead,weightless at naseum and the speed can be varied from nothing to anything. I don't use worms as much as I used to, very little in fact but there are times even I will go back to my roots and catch some fish on worms.
