Well i am sure it doesnt get as cold in socal as it does in nomi...haha...
but when it gets cold here we fish the shallow water like the flats or the sand bars or the rocky bottoms in 3-5 feet of water if the sun is shining the fish seem to come into shallows to warm up, if the sun is not shining i fish 5-16 feet of water on the edges if you can find a 10" worm, these work well here, i also fish with tube baits, they can be fished SLOWLY...and ripped thru the weeds with ease, also jig & pig work well.
i never fished socal but how cold do the lakes get? what kind of bottom?
i think the key to fishing bass in cold water has to be SLOW FISHING... bass in michigan seem to go dormant so you have to fish slow, almost hitting them on the beak.
