The three types of locations that I find bass on in the winter are rocks, hard cover, and deep hollows. Rocks are one of the easiest places to find winter bass. If you are in a pond or lake with a mainly mud bottom, you can pinpoint the bass on one of the few deep rock piles in the lake. Even if you do not find fish on one rock pa
