Fished with a guest in the afternoon.  Weather was really nice for mid-December with sunshine, light wind and highs in the 70's.  We tried almost everything fishing everywhere the length of the lake in about 3 hours with no luck.  Then we finally switched to a black TR Power Worm.  Cast to the edge of the brush, and just drug it along the bottom on the way back.  Together we caught 6 in this fashion in about an hour, largest was 4, and two 3's.  First time I've ever just dragged a worm along the bottom like that, but for sure it was the only thing that would work for us.
