When fishing in cold water, it's essential to use baits that will entice fish despite the lower temperatures. Some of the best baits for cold-water fishing include live bait such as minnows, nightcrawlers, and shad. Artificial baits like jigs, spoons, and soft plastic lures can also be effective. It's important to vary the retrieval speed and presentation to find what works best for the fish in colder conditions. Additionally, scented baits can be beneficial as they can help attract fish that may be less active in the cold water.
