Smallmouth BassTechniqueSpybaitsSeasonSummerStructureOpen Water/BasinOn slick summer days a slow rolled spybait can be unbeatable on Lake St-Clair. Light braid to leader set up on a long spinning rod generates the king casts you need to search with a spybait. Vary the length of sink you allow and occasionally mix in a quick turn of the handle or a twitch. A often overlooked key to converting follows to bites is a quick pause while dumping slack in the line to allow the bait to shimmie. Ya gotta commit to it!

Largemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureOpen Water/BasinIt’s the beginning of March here in SE Michigan. The air temps are hovering near 50, but the water temps haven’t yet made it out of the 40’s. The largemouth bass are starting to come into the shallow areas like marshes and canals along the shorelines. They are just starting to push shallow in these cold temps, looking for warmer waters. They are sluggish and slow, still not chasing a fast moving bait as to conserve their energy. Casting the Berkley Stunna suspended jerkbait in the Phenom color in stained water really got their attention when nothing else would. The flash and pause were enough to get the bigger bass to move in and strike. All of the bass caught this day hit the jerkbait on the PAUSE, so be mindful to let this bait sit after giving it a couple of jarring twitches. Tight lines!
