The spinner bait was still working last week, and I put the boat up maybe for good Saturday. I haven't winterized it yet, didn't think it would get to 23 degrees tonight. I hope I don't have any water in the lower unit.

The wind today is howling and I expect this major cold snap to really put an end to the spinner bait or crankbait bite.

I will be switching to using small 1/16 oz crappie jigs with 4" Berkley Bungee power baits in pumpkinseed color. I also will probably only fish small strip pits the rest of the year. I look for the ones most people don't fish, about 3 acres or less. I might even stoop to targeting redear and bluegill with live bait. Anything to get a bite and filets are excellent table fare this time of year.

Going down to a small 14' Landau jon with just a trolling motor.
Its hard to put the bass boat up, but the 10 day forecast has no 50F days in it at all, with multiple days low below 32F.
