I am struggling to catch bass this winter in proven bass lakes and ponds that are loaded during the warmer months. I catch and release everything and just want to catch some bass rather than the perch and picks that I am getting. Does anyone have any advice on how to help a confused fisherman? ;D

Find those weed edges man. It doesn't matter how deep the lake is, find those weed edges.

Did really well on the bass while pike fishing sunday. The old reliable tip up was the key. We found the bass only hit the tip ups with 1/8 worm weights touching the leaders.
Basicly the bass wanted that minnow pinned down. The sets with light weights or free swimming minnnows didn't get touched. I wouldn't use a steel leader either ;D
If i wanted bass and targeted them i would use a 1/4 oz jig head on a tip up. after quite a few on tip ups i jigged a rap and never got touched. most were 2.5-3.5 # with a 4.5 and a 5#
just my thoughts

i think around submerged trees or weeds is a good place to start
