colder fishing technique

[cubby1313]

ive been doing alot of fishing lately and found that in the cold of late fall all winter and early spring a slow or fast wacky worn rig will get the biting all day. there is also a regular rig with no weight letting it slowly fall as you bump it this also works

Some times I'll just hold the rod and not jig it. It's all about how they want it that day.[]

I do the same thing. 1/4 oz. black hair jig with a purple firetail 5" worm. I'll throw right into a brushpile, actually let it hit a stump and fall, under a dock or into a deep hole I know is there and just let it sit for sometimes up to 5 minutes then I'll twitch just enough to make it bearly move, I try to not even twitch enough to make the bait leave the bottom.

I've been catching decent 1lb - 2lb doing this same technique at 3 of my favorite local farm ponds and the St. Francis River since around Late November and haven't left without at least a couple of in the 1lb range.

Might take 20 or 30 minutes with the lure in that same spot just doing the twitch every few minutes to get the strike but that is working for me this winter.

We are supposed to get in the upper 50's lower 60's this thursday or friday and I hope to hit my favorite pond and fish the entire day from dawn til dusk. Because typically here in Arkansas January and February are our coldest winter months.

This might be my last decent fishing day this year.

Keep on fishing Cubby! Tight lines.

Fishing slow is the name of the game for all the inshore species. You can use a jig tipped with shrimp, a bare jig with a shrimp threaded on, or a split shot above a hooked shrimp to entice trout, sheepshead, flounder, and small reds.
