Fishing in the winter

[Fishnngolfn]

I know it is a bit early but I am going to ask anyway. Since this is my first spring and summer that I have become "serious" about bass fishing, I haven't had any experience fishing during the winter months.

Is fishing during the winter months very different than the spring and summer? I am in Alabama and I know the warmer months actually extend into October at times. I was just wondering if the bite is the same in the mornings and evenings when it consistently is cold outside (Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb). Do you guys fish different lures, techniques, different times of the day?
