I like using heavy football head jigs in the 3/ 4 to 1 1/ 2 ounce range with a big craw trailer... worked especially slow. When I'm using soft plastics, drop shot and Texas rigs. And last but not least... big rainbow trout-lookin' swimbaits... 8- to 12-inchers...

Through the ice we use shiners,and jigging lures like swedish pimples,open water a jig and pig works good.

Hand grenades. Can't catch them often in the summer (not many lakes around here have them) so i ain't got a prayer in the winter.

For largemouths I like using a Rubber jig, Flippin style with a crawfish trailer. Worked slow as hell and occasionally bashed against structure. When in appeal color situations I like a simple white skirt, they work in most any condition. But if the water is clear a blue/ black rubber rig with a blue claw black back crawfish trailer makes just the right combo. Works really well. Sometimes I even like giving it a strong upward jerk, and while it rises up it creates great action on the skirt and the claws of the trailer. During all the exitment when the lure is on the fall, the fish will usually strike. Fun isn't it? It's never a gaurentee with winter though. Well Thats about it.. "Fishin influenced games... Games influenced me " EDIT: Tumbs up GMB, also thanks for reminding me. I like 3/ 4 of an oz and I go up to 1oz

For Sea Bass I use clams, worms, and cut bait...sometimes I tip the rigs with Mister Twisty tails for Largemouth Bass on my lake we use shiners....
