Largemouth BassTechniqueBlade BaitsSeasonWinterStructureBouldersThis combo is deadly throughout the year. However when the water gets cold and you are still willing to get out there and brave the cold temps this bait can absolutely produce quality fish! When bass are feeding up for winter they will crush this bait and swallow it whole! I like fishing a heavier weight let it get down a little deeper and knock it around rocks along the bottom. Often times when it gets hung up on a rock or falls for second is when they will get it! Just bring some hand warmers!
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonWinterStructureRock Pile
Cold temps and cold water with bass hanging out on the bottom around rocks and drop offs. I noticed on my lowrance active target the bass were not suspended and the jerkbait wasn’t producing like I hoped it would. So I switched it up and tied on one of my favorite jig combos. Dirty Jigs football jig and Xzone adrenaline craw Junior! It worked out well producing some quality bites under some cold and bitter conditions!

This finesse jig is simply just the best! Combo it with your favorite trailer mine happens to be a ned style trailer. Smaller jig seems to get more fish to commit then some of the bulkier jigs. Give it a shot and see the results for yourself!

Fish have started moving up shallow and this wacky rig setup will help get that bait down on the fish quickly. Also allowing the bait to stay in place on the bottom and shake.

Up here in Maine we have fairly clear lakes with visibility being on average 3-6ft depending on the lake and other variables. When the water is on the clearer end it can be tricky to get bass to commit to the bait. I have noticed the better you match common forage in your area the better your chances in that clearer water. The perch pro color has been very good at getting quality bites so far this spring!

When the water warms up in mid-late summer days can get tougher slowing down and fishing slow with the drop shot can help produce quality fish.
