I have also caught LMB year around. Strangely, not so much on SMB. In fact, I have never caught a small mouth bass through the ice, but have in open water.
Lots of great LMB through the ice. Had a spring fed lake in Idaho where I caught huge LMB on streamers.
In Northern Texas/Louisiana, on Toledo Bend, the best time of the year for 10+ pounders is the winter time.
I still contend that they are moving slower, eating less often, but they school much tighter, in much larger schools, and find the food you will find the bass.
The food will follow the structure. Species of forage will determine which structure they use.
