As slow as patience will allow- then just a little slower. Dan-o

Lures for winter fishing...

Depends upon water temperature and trend. By that, I mean that 40 degree water that's dropping from 45 degrees is different from 40 degree water that's rising from 35 degrees. But, all other things being equal, here's what I'd suggest for a basic winter fishing arsenal:

small deep-diving crankbaits--I use a modified Wiggle Wart

jerkbaits--Lucky Craft Pointer 78 is my first choice

smallish willow leaf spinnerbaits

3 inch and 4 inch tubes

1/8 ounce marabou jigs

hair jigs

finesse worms on a jig head

The colder the water is the less likely the hard baits are to work well, but if the water temp is 45 degrees or above they can be very good. And as was said above, the colder the water, the slower you have to fish.

Bobber, we used Wild Bills outfitters. They are almost at the bridge on highway 14. The one vehicle shuttle from Maumee north to the bridge was only 22.00. There were 4 couples, so the shuttle was cheap.

thanks for the info Al. I'm really anxious to try to pull some smallies out of the river during the Winter.
