<div>The deepwater bite is back on for the winter which means downlines with blueback herring or trout. Search the river channel, creek channels, creek backs, and adjacent ditches with bait fish on your sonar to find your starting points. In the creeks add weighted freelines into the mix with your downlines. There is still a good "Mini Mack" bite in the creeks. If you fished with me in September, you might have seen these minis go to work. However, our speed is going to be a lot slower this time of year. We call it stealth trolling. A series of minis either behind the boat or pulled on planer boards at about 1.5mph with the trolling motor, just enough to give it action will get those picky fish to react. You can find plenty of these rigs at Hammond's Fishing Center and I personally like the 4 blade Mini Macks on both the bucktails and shad bodies</div>
