Well I do agree that some monsters come out in winter but the trick is to slow down but let conditions dictate how you need to fish. One day you will fish so slow that you get seriously bored (Dead Sticking) and the next day you will have to power fish. Yes power fishing is using chatter baits, spinners and crank baits. Baits you let rip when retrieving. Most guys don’t agree on power fishing. But give it a try and see for yourself.

I have an article that will explain why fish move to deeper water. Just need to look for it and I will post it. They explain it best and I don’t have to find the right word to explain it.

Land locked has basically hit the nail on the head with his advice, Winter Basing is predominantly slower and deeper, with the likes of Senko's barely moving (just a slight twitch every now and then), having said that, do not overlook clear sky days (even if it's cold) as them Green Thangs still need to feed. 

You can also try "Powerfishing", yes power fishing, burning a spinner or vionlent jigging and so forth to get reaction bites rather than trying to entice bites as they would from feeding normally.

But again Slow and deep is the normal school of thought for winter, just check out when these guys go hunting in the shallows when the water heats up a bit, normally in the afternoon (late afternoon) just before dusk sets in.

Happy Hunting those LGF's
