Yes im a "Newbie" here! Kinda sorta been reading posts for a while now an got brave!! I have tons of Q's but this will help me and my dad more than others for now. We have a river up here in NE corner of state that we do pretty good in. We mostly fish with minnows and stop fishing when duck season gets here, but as you all know that story is going down hill fast around here! Needless to say the river looks perfect we just have never fished it during the cold months of year and normally its up and muddy. Do we need to change methods? Maybe try tight linning jigs and cover more area than we normally do? I know most of you fish lakes but me and pops love fishing this river with ok success! Any help would be appriciated. Never have fished it in Nov.-Dec-Jan, etc..
