Early winter time, water is cooling off, but not cool enough for the crankbait bite to be in full effect yet. Fishing can still be tough, what better technique for tough fishing than a Ned rig?! Points, transition areas and river channel banks are where I have had the best luck. Equip yourself with a quality spinning set up and just go fishing.
