Field Notes | Winter Bass Fishing


Search out Structure | Docks and Pilings

1) Cast parallel to the edge of submerged rocks, structure or docks

2) Let it sink to the bottom. Then slow crank it back to the boat bouncing it off the rocky structure

3) As the lure bumps the rocks bass are tracking it and waiting to ambush

4) If you do not feel the bottom structure reposition drift for best result.

TIP: The bass sometimes hit it on the drop other times they hit it five feet from the boat. Get into the mindset that they are always following it and be ready to strike.

Experiments in the Lab | Hybrid Lures

Around any heavy structure or docks pitching this hybrid fly/grub is deadly. I made this lure a combination of curly tail grub with chartreuse buck-tail, chenille, flash and added a 20lb fluorocarbon leader as a weed guard.
