inter water reaches high 40 or low 50 in Nov. or Dec., de- pending on how many cold fronts we’ve had. During this transition, we need to slow down and fish a four inch worm on rock piles or ledges and small baits. Be sure to remember that there will be good days and slow days of fishing in the end of the fall and winter so don’t get discouraged on the slow days, because the next day can be a great day! Things to keep in mind with the cooling, that the green grass beds start turning brown and dying off. What you should look for is the remaining green grass, because it is more oxygenated these patches will hold pan fish and bait fish. Consequently the bass will use these for and an easy meal.
