Make sure you guys check out my new workshop on how to fish points.
These two bass came from a completely different area. These fish came from more stain water where there was a creek flowing in to the pocket. The water was much more stain and it was warm because today’s rain was a warm rain. In this particular area, there was a lot of bait Shed Thrift and Chad to be exact. My bait of choice to catch these fish was a Zman chatterbait Evo edition in 3/8 ounce. I used a white and chartreuse and a grim colored one. My trailer for the chatterbait was a Zman Grimmlin I think the key to catching these fish was where I was actually putting the Chatterbait. I was running to chatterbait in less than a foot at all times, throwing it directly parallel with the shoreline. If I let my chatterbait get in anything deeper than a foot and a half maybe 2 foot I could not get it. The key was throwing shallow end really fast to get the reaction bite.
Today was a interesting day of fishing. It rained most of the day. Most of the time you would think that would be an adverse condition for catching a lot of bass. But trust me it’s not. Today my focus was on dead in pockets that had more stable and warmer water. I was using a Texas rig Grimmlin with a 3/16 ounce sinker and 4/0 hook. my main focus was any type of horizontal wood that could be laydowns or a stump. If there was any inconsistency in the pocket, there was usually a bass on it. Most of my bites came on the fall. That’s why I use the light sinker.
🚨So I had to reschedule the live tonight mainly because I was fishing 🥴😵💫 it rained most of the day and we’re shooting a TV show so I need to get this while my guys are here. However!!!!!! I have some interesting findings from today!
🔴 SCHEDULE CHANGE - adapting is key in fishing! We need to reschedule the live for tonight (Apr 9). There is another tutorial scheduled for this week. Brian is filming for TV today and the weather is not cooperating. We're also looking at some options to turn some more lives into on water events like last week.
We appreciate all of you supporting this platform and building this community!
Me trying to smile when your buddy catches a 5 pounder. 😁
I finally got on the board. Nothing big but it’s a start.
Small Florida bass from the shore - two more days to try to catch a big one.
Just a reminder that I'll be doing a live on the water training tomorrow at 12pm EST.
Just like in all the other live sessions I'll be answering your questions and give you on the water demonstrations of how I approach a fishery this time of year. Bring your questions to the chat!!!
I got out for two hours yesterday. Caught a 4 pounder……….turtle!😊
