Fish a Jerkbait on Main Lake Points - Early Spring

There are points everywhere on a lake, but early spring is about narrowing down which ones are worth your time with a jerkbait. This video walks through how to decide between main lake points, secondary points, and those deeper in the creeks—so you target where the fish are actually staging now, not just what looks good on the map.You’ll see how water temperature, clarity, and the species you’re after impact your choice. Learn why spotted bass hold closer to the main lake while largemouth move further back—and how to pick the right jerkbait depth for clear water. Avoid common mistakes and start fishing points with a clear plan, not just hope.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed standing on the boat with points in every direction, this lesson will help you break that confusion and focus your efforts where they count.

The most productive bait and structure has been a jerkbait in points for me. Here’s 5 mins of how I approach points

How to Retrieve a Lipless Crankbait

Brian breaks down how he retrieves a lipless crankbait -- specifically a Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap -- through the fall-to-pre-spawn window, and why most anglers fish it too slowly.He covers the setup (a 7'2" graphite composite rod, 6.8:1 reel, 12-20 lb line), then takes it to a main lake point and shoal marker in open water on a windy day, showing why wind is non-negotiable for this pattern -- on slick calm water, this bait goes back in the box.The core lesson is sound: every pop of the rod tip, speed change, and pause changes the vibration the bait puts off, and that's what pulls fish up from depth in clear water, not just sight. He casts it far, reels it fast, and pops the rod tip to vary the sound rather than fishing one steady retrieve.It's a forgiving, beginner-friendly bait with real reaction-strike power, and he pushes anglers to fish it beyond grass -- over open water, on points, and around shoal markers where it doesn't normally get a look.

The lipless has been forgotten. The chatterbait stole some of its shine. However it’s still a monster. My son caught his PB spotted bass in it yesterday and my dad won big bass on it in his club tournament last weekend. You don’t need grass and all species bite the lipless. Here’s a workshop on how to retrieve it.

Got the kayak out on the Brazos River and had a great time. Got to log 2 more fish into my total for the tournament and also caught some “non-target species”🤣 and got my first Guadalupe bass!
