Lake Fishing Slow - How about some marsh bass?

This little cold spell we are having will slow things down in the lake and make fishing tough until the warmer weather returns.  Until then, you might want to try some marsh bass fishing in the canals and bayous around the lake.  You should concentrate your efforts on Bayou Lacome, Bayou Liberty/Bonfuca Carr Drive and Hwy 11 canals, and Salt Bayou.  Use plastic worms and spinner baits and work the banks letting the baits fall off of the shelf and drop to the deeper water.  Once you find out where the bass are staging, work your baits at that depth.  Also, make sure you throughly fish all drains that empty into the bayou or canal.  You should be able to pick up some good numbers of bass if you stick with it.  Until things get right in the Lake, bass fishing is the way to go at this time of the year.  Good luck and if you have any reports, please use the comments bar to post it so other can benefit.
