Fishing for sand bass in the winter is a bit different than fishing then in the summer months, With the water so much cooler you really need to slow your fishing down and you need to fish closer to where the fish live, The perfect bait of this type of fishing is a B-52 bucktail jig with a strip or whole squid pinned on.
James, Hector and I fished this way yesterday and landed a few nice size sand bass. the key was to just drift my boat right over the rock piles and at the same time we slowly moved our baits up and down. If it would of been summer I would have fished a lot fast, but fishing our baits very slow worked great yesterday for us. remember in the winter when you have cold water you have to just about hit the fish on the head with your bait to get them to bite.
James did what I told him and he's fished enough to know what to do when he got a bite, he did a great job and was rewarded with that monster sand bass, Also in winter months I'd suggest you fish a white or red and white color bucktail. if you can't find B-52 buctails in your local tackle show you can order them from www.Cabelas.com or from my on-line store at www.sport-fishing.com.
