    Hey Jacob - IMO your one of the best at finding fish with sonar - I'm learning to locate fish with new Lowrance HDS units and would definitely appreciate you doing a video dedicated to how you locate bass with your electronics and then decide what baits to throw at 'em to trigger the bite. Enjoy your channel bud!

    An umbrella rig works well at this time of year, regardless of you, Jacob, not being able to use it on tour. (It's a good off-season lure.) Also, larger glidebaits/swimbaits fished slowly off of the bottom near and around structure is a great way it entice larger bass to bite, during the middle of the wintertime. (It's a larger meal for a larger fish, that doesn't require a lot of energy for the target fish to attack it, if it is fished slowly and closely to the target fish to create a reaction bite.) You can also just watch bowl games and occasionally go hunting until the Springtime, and wait until it's warmer to be on the water...lol!!!!
