Entice Those Lethargic Winter Bass…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThis week’s tip comes from our woman of the week Barbara Harris (see #2 below!)<\/p>\n

Here’s Barbara’s best tip for enticing those sluggish winter bass to bite! Barbara says when the water temp starts getting into the 40s then the fish will go deeper for warmer water. They will significantly decrease their eating behaviors. So to entice a lethargic bass whose metabolism is super low try downsizing and fishing as slow as you can then slow down some more!<\/p>\n

She recommends using small jigs, little shakey heads or a slow-moving Ned Rig or Drop Shot for the best chances for success!<\/p>\n

If you get lucky with a warmer day, or even better, a few warm sunny days in a row, go find some rocks. The bass will be there!<\/p>\n

Her Twitter<\/a> description sums it up well: “Entertainer, advocate, influencer, fighter of all things right, social media marketing.” Barbara Harris a.k.a. BassingGal has certainly been an amazing advocate for The Woman Angler & Adventurer thus far!<\/p>\n
