We've no doubt had a setback with the past week's snow and icy cold weather, but hey, it's warming up some and the bass should be starting to get active. I'll be looking for them with a lipless crank bait, and maybe a football jig, but you should also be testing the water with a drop shot. For the water around here, particular the gravel ponds that warm up first, it's a good technique right on through the spawn. Not real complicated, just requires you to learn to tie a Palomar knot, and exercise a little patience and imagination.
Having said that, you might want to look over this article on the Tackle Warehouse website; they're trying to sell you stuff, but it's a pretty non-commercial discussion of how to go about dropping your worm right where you think they're hiding.

The club is open to all, but club events take place during the week and we meet at Chilson Senior Center in Loveland, CO. Our basic purpose is to fish, but we're easily distracted by the chance to work with youngsters or improve northern Colorado outdoor resources.
