Cris, I may only be 15, and know nothing about winter smallies but this is what he asked, "where are they biting and on what." Yeah, you answered the second part of that message. But, how will past threads let him know where the fish are hitting? I'm just saying, you could have answered it a bit nicer, and more considerate. As that's what this site is for.

In the water and on my custom OMG craw. Seriously though, rephrase and think about how you ask and research the site first.

from what I have heard smallies are from 30-50' or greater and Largemouth I am not to sure. You can use spoons for vertically jigging, carolina rig, dropshot or a football head jig 3/4 to 1 ounce. Good electronics are important to find cover, rock piles, humps, drop offs etc. Good luck I have been skunked my last 4 times out so actually disregard everything I just said because its useless.

Smallmouth are biting in pretty much any piece of water they live in that is not locked up with ice.  Largemouth as well, they may just be a bit tougher to catch than the Smallmouth.  For the Bronzebacks I usually focus my efforts on 35-50ft of water with football head jigs and dropshot.

Like Chris said they are biting in the water, and they are usually biting my hook.

 

Vague vs. Vague.

 

Try to put a little more effort into your post and I will try to put a little more effort into my answer. I am suprised anyone answered.

Boy there sure are some people on this site that are not so friendly. I thought that this site was for people to ask questions and get some help. After all not all of us are pros.

His question may have been vague but I guarantee every one on here knew what he was asking. Everyone can be a little nicer.

klutz there a millions of pages to read regarding this topic

purchase smallmouth bass by in fisherman this will give you tons of information and you will be able to ask reasonable qestions

furthermore klutz the question WAS answered, smallmouth bite all winter long go drag a grub/hula grub/jig through rock in 35 - 60 feet of water on any lake that has smallmouth and you will stand a chance of hooking one...however, this time of the year keep your expectations low

I think that everyones got to understand how much time some of these guys put on the water to find this information of what, where and how.  If you just put a little thought into how you ask a question and maybe ask some specific questions to show that you've actually thought about it some, you will be amazed at some of the info that will be shared with you.  Asking, "where are they biting and on what" sounds like a guy asking a question that just wants a shortcut and not someone who is actively trying to learn anything.  To me is just sounds like, "give me the answer quickly with the exact locations so I dont have to think at all."  You will be amazed at the info you can find by using the search function and by spending a couple hours reading.  Just my .02

why?

this site is geared around competitive anglers, and competition is not always "nice".

i realize adam is a young guy, and if he is truly looking for help he will get more than he can use here. he will also get an education on how to ask questioins and "mine" for information.

 

note to Adam: spend some time reading old posts and you will garner a ton of information, and you will be able to ask specific questions and get specific answers (you will also get some beatdowns, like this post, but don't take it personally)
