Most points or humps with boulders will hold fish this time of year. If the sun is shining, these areas will have slightly warmer water. Wind is a bonus.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonWinterStructureDocksDocks with submerged structure(rocks or brush) and deep water access are places of interest. Stroking a jackhammer or slow rolling the bait through the cover is key. Finesse jigs in green pumpkin and browns fished slow on the bottom in the same areas will also work.
