December and January consistently yield some of the best fishing of the year. However you like to fish can be productive. There are obviously big groups of fish out on the creek ledges following bait but there is also a shallow bite. The tournament weights in the winter are ridiculous. Anything less than 30 pounds has no chance to win and 20 pounds isn't even competitive. I did 3 guide trips this past week and we landed about 20 fish per day with big fish showing up each day. Our best baits out deep are a jerkbait and a freeloader. Up shallow a chatterbait has produced well. To fish with a USCG licensed guide call 256-744-5185.
