Winter Schooling Bass

During the winter months, I like to leave the bass alone in the rivers. This is because at this time of the year the bass move from the freshwater and into the estuary to gather and spawn. It just makes sense to leave them alone to do their thing and make more baby bass!

So winter is a great time to turn your fishing focus to the lakes and dams. The fish in these ‘lentic’ environments are are unable to reach the spawning grounds in the estuary, so they spend their time schooling up and ‘socializing’. If you are able to locate one of these schools on the sounder the fishing can be great.
