winter fishing

Now with a real change in the weather getting much colder its time to start changing tactics i myself usually drop my hook size down and cut the amount of bait that i put in,my usual approach for most of the season would be to fish over a fairly large bed of bait usual incorporating hemp and boilies but as the temperatures drop i would cut the freebies down a bit unless the fish really switch on i continue to use hemp as i find this is still good through the winter but i don't put as much in.I would usually fish one rod like this another rod i would use a single hook bait usually a single hook bait i prefer tails ups bait and use the sc25 all the year round this is a proven bait and one that Ive had a lot of success with in winter i use there amino glugg aswell i would fish this rod just of my baited area , if I'm using three rods i would either use the single sc25 hook bait again or i would use a chod rig with a single small pop up on again this would be fished just of the area or used as a roving rod if i saw a fish move.People have their own methods for winter this is just one that i use its a method that I've caught good fish on in the winter months so I'm confident with it.Please feel free to post your tactics or comment's on winter fishing...cheers
