If you can find the bait, you’ll find the fish. We were throwing small jerkbaits to imitate the forage the bass were chasing. This technique helped us place second in our tournament on that day

This was the last regular season BFL for us, the super derb on St Johns River... The river during this late summer, early fall time can just be a very very tough time to be there. Anyone with experience here knows this means one, major hurdle... SHRIMP!!! The shrimp were EVERYWHERE! Now, this does a couple of things to the bass population. For one (a positive) is they are feeding! Like Crazy! BUT.... As we are all very well aware of when the bait is extremely plentiful, the bass can be super tough to make bite. They get so so keyed in that they are "tough to trick" We were fishing running the tide for half of the day and then chasing some fish on Lake George (Report for George posted separately) But we were using 2 baits to target the main river fish. First was the Berkley Stunna. Get around the fish schooling on shrimp and take FULL advantage of livescope. Its tough but it does work well. Secondly we would set up on these schooling locations after the fish quit schooling I would throw a Roboworm on 8 lb test dropshot... Caught a 6 on this setup on Day Uno. Thanks yall! Lake George report coming soon!!!
