I am not a Ned guy quite yet either, so I spend most of my winter searching for bass with a jerkbait. My plan this year is - when I find any fish with a jerkbait start tossing a Ned around the area until I either figure it out or get tired of it - then move to a new area. The more I do that the more knowledge I will gain and share. I do plan to hit bluff ends, main lake points with timber, and secondary points and channel swings.
