Winter Fishing


I know a lot of you think that there is no good fishing in the winter, but that just is not true, there are plenty of bass to catch and halibut too, plus surf fishing can be great too. Here are a few tips for sand bass fishing this time of the year. Use heavier B 52 bucktails and fish slower, right along the bottom. Here is a picture of a friend of mine with a large sand bass he landed last winter fishing with me on my boat, the key is to fish slowly. you need to bounce your bait from stone to stone, rock to rock, you just about have to hit the fish in the head with you jig in order to get them to bite.Remember in cold water the fish aren't going to chase your baits so just work your bucktail slowly and you'll catch fish. This time of year make sure you spend your time fishing close to structure. Get out there and have some fun.
