winter tips for a texan

[Bass101]

i usually fish a medium sized spring fed pond around my neighborhood the water is very clear, up to 8 ft visibility and has lots of hydrilla, but not alot of top water vegetation except for the shallow side and around the island. anybody got any tips? this years winter is very mild even for us. it usually warms up in late Feb.

on the other side of the road is another spring fed pond with almost no vegetation what so ever and is even clearer. this one is very deep. theres a crain underwater in this one because it used to be a sand pit until they hit the spring and it filled up. i've seen monster bass in this one but have never caught anything bigger than a pound except in the other one. there's also catfish and crappie that i've seen caught but never personally. both are constantly fished top waters work good but i'm open to all tips. the place is windmill lakes if anybody is wondering
