Strippers are starting to show in bigger numbers finally but some of the areas have been to muddy while others have cleared. Fog has been a factor lately so be very careful when going out and make sure all your running lights are working properly.
Most of our lakes are still low due to drought. This can be the best time to check out your favorite lake so when the water is back up to normal you will know where all those productive rock piles are. Use the GPS on your electronics so they will be there for the spring time fun.
When fishing lakes in the winter follow creek channels into coves as most of the bait will be balled up over these areas and the bass will be looking for them. Bass in cold water will be moving a little slower so make your presentations say in the strike zone longer, especially when you are using jigs or drop shot rigs. Using scents on your baits can pay off this time of year.
