The drop went from 8 feet to 17 and someone had piled brush up on it Id say for crappie fishing. I think the real key to winter bass fishing isn' t near as much what to fish as where to fish. So lets try to keep this post alive I have alot to learn myself.
You guys do realize most of the wintertime fisherman are at Dale right now. Thats why the response is lower than normal. I'll try to help you though. For some of the lakes around here they draw them down so far, what normally holds fish at 15ft isn't 15ft deep anymore. It's only 5 or less. Which, I know you are aware of that, so......Slower techniques and harder styles seem to produce fish. I am not the one to help you though....but wanted to help with the slow response. FnF is the best technique during water temps at 55 or lower. It's because the bait stays in the strike zone MUCH longer than any other style I know about. It matches the forage very well, and is easy to chase after to eat. (Opportunistic) BUT like Todd said, its more of a clear water presentation due to sight fishing. Try drop shotting. It's a slower, stationary technique just like FnF.
