Outdoor Life: Catch some winter bass in farm ponds
Placeholder Image
The small game hunters are still out there on the prowl and enjoying the last few weeks of hunting season but if you are a fisherman at heart and have been yearning for the feel of a largemouth bass on the end of your reel, take heart. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that there are plenty of bass to be caught in these cold weather months at your favorite local farm ponds if you pick the right times and lures. Obviously there are days when it’s just no fun fighting the extreme cold and most of us don’t enjoy fishing when there are icicles hanging off the rod but in our neck of the woods there are periods during January and February when you can land some of your best fish of the year without suffering from hypothermia.
