Winter smallmouth

[Hog Wally]

Anyone else tired of chasing deer and ready to start hitting the winter holes for some giant smallies ?  Last year on dec12 I caught my first winter giant.  I am so ready.

Good luck. Can't wait to see some winter giants!

I think it will wait til a sunny day.

I'm ready but frozen boat ramps might slow me down.

I’m gonna try to do some more winter bass fishing this year. My issue is choosing them over crappie and trout.

what he said.....I can't wait.....I lost a giant at my feet last evening after making close to 60 casts in the same general area......then out of nowhere a mushy and muted bite, I set the hook and the fish didn't feel particularly big but, when I got her near the bank I just about crapped myself as it was a frigging giant. I lost it One run later and wasn't even bummed but, it was a dang HAWG.

Kinda skipped right over the fall bite and went directly to winter.  So yeah, I'm ready.  They should be where you expect them to be by now.  I've been tying hair jigs, and switching all my lure boxes to my winter selections.

Well I’m talking myself into tagging out tomorrow morning and I’m sitting in my boat right now switching over to winter mode.  Let’s do this thing.  Mr Agnew, I do believe we have a couple destination trips lined up. I think we should give those spots a couple more cold weeks to make sure there is a pile of fish there.  Can’t wait !
