Welcome to BR Hang around this site and you'll learn a lot.
Best lures? All good answers/ Small and slow is always a good place to start, but sometimes doing the opposite of what is normal can be productive. I keep a lipless crank tied on a rod and will 'test' it when I've found fish to see if they'll respond to it. I'd rather use a faster presentation and the only way to find out if it works, is to throw one.

Lots of good suggestions. I'd add a single or double Colorado bladed spinnerbait to the list.

That should work great as long as you are throwing it and not me! Just how cold of water will they eat that in?

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~
Plenty of great submissions so far.
I'll add this . . . .
As the air & water temps start to cool and head towards turnover and eventually go through it, my blade bait action begins to pick up. There’s a lot to choose from here but I try to keep it simple (relative term). A ½, 5/8 & ¾ oz Silver Buddy has been good for me – gold on cloudy days; but I like fishing in the sun better. Something I’ve mentioned (perhaps ad nauseam, sorry) is fishing a rattle bait in cool to colder water deals like a blade bait, can be very effective. While many bait makes & models will and do work, I really like the ¾ oz Duo Realis G-Fix Vibration Tungsten Lipless Crankbait. The Ghost Gill and the newer Tule Perch ND are two fan favorite patterns. Think about it.

Water that isn't hard. You'll be surprised how slowly you can fish a double or single big Colorado blade spinnerbait.
I'll add one: tiny crappie jig. My buddy has caught a few really big gals in cold water while trolling for crappie.
Bankbeater reply :
Lipless crankbaits, small paddle tail swimbaits, bladed jigs, and jig and pig.
bowhunter63 reply :
Hair jigs
FishTank reply :
Anything big fished slow.
IMHO, once it's cold the bigger fish go deep and tend to inhale baits gently using as little energy as possible. So I like to use big jerkbaits, large (but not huge) soft-paddle tail swimbaits and jigs with a larger trailer and I fish them really slow. I think the key is to find the fish first. If you find bait fish, somewhere close by are bass.

I do have a buddy who lives in N. Carolina. Hoping to get down there once this winter, depending on how busy I am at work.

What if every single cove, creek arm, and pocket on the entire river system has enough Shad to walk across?

Get video of the walk. It'll go viral. You'll get rich and be able to upgrade your fishing arsenal.

I've seen them like that also. They were so thick, throwing a jerkbait you would have a threadfin on every hook of every treble. So I pulled my Roboworm off my dropshot and used the shad and caught some very nice crappie but never found bass on those shad that day.
scaleface reply :
I have had success with numerous baits in cold water. November is an unpredictable time but like any other month , once you get on them a lot of fish can be caught . I already mentioned the jig and pork frog . Also the 6 inch jelly worm , Bomber Model A and Rapala Crankin Rap square bill have produced memorable days . Argobast Mud Bugs have worked in late winter . An anomaly was one day during a moderate snow bass had shad corralled at the back of a cove . We caught bass after bass on a buzzbait .
