hello fellow pescadores

i live in queens ny...i fish at the only lake that produces big monster bass around here, the only lake for dat matter...(oakland lake) well....ive caught some monsters here at this lake,,all on worms...and its gettin kinda boring....spring time is far from now, but, i was wondering if any of u guys can gimmie some pointers on which lures i can use and how to use them...
From what i know....there arent much baitfish other than bluegills and small sunfish, no crawfish or minnows...does dat mean i cant use jigs, tubes, spiiner or buzz baits?? need some help =) thanks!!!

Absolutely not! One of the best winter baits around is a jig-n-pig, but don't limit their use-they will catch fish all year. I use them in and around the same cover you would a plastic worm. If you have a rock bank or rip rap jigs can be deadly around the rocks. Spinnerbaits are a great fall bait-since you have a lot of bluegill I'd use bluegill colors-chartreuse, white, blue-you get the idea. A lipless crankbait like a Rat-L-Trap is a great fall and spring search bait. I like chrome/blue in the fall and red in the spring. In the spring I also like a plastic lizard. Lizards eat bass eggs, so bass will jump all over a lizard when they are bedding. Just experiment-try different baits and different retrieves and let the fish tell you what they want.

yeah the hard part is finding what they want -the first fish should tell you alot- stick with it. winter fishing is buy design long and tough..even lakes i know and fish in winter. i can at times fish for 6-8 hours and catching 1-2 bass. bass fishing in winter is anything but easy.. jerkbaits,pnj,and lipless baits all work in winter so do jigging spoons. if you normally fish a spot for 20-30 mintues you need to "pitch a tent" and sit on the point for an hour or more.. i once spent 6 hours working a single bridge butment. caught 2 bass both over 3 pounds on a jigging spoon. but it was the best place on the lake in the frigid temps i was fishing.. boring bet the farm it is.. but the reward is outstanding..

Didn't you see the show where they use rats to fish down in your area ?I think the lure was a Matzuo brand rat.
