Fishing the winter time can produce giants. So many ways to catch them this time of the year like throwing a Gambler big ez or throwing swim jigs etc but my favorite way is punching Mats! I use a Dobyns 766 rod (stiffer rod with a nice tip) with a hawgtech 1.5oz weight with many baits. If it’s really cold and water temps get in the 60’s or below I use a Gambler bb cricket or crawdaddy, if the water temps get above 70/75 I use something with a little more action like a Gambler burner craw or stinger .
