Three of my most productive baits for winter fishing. I rig these on a jig head or a drop shot and catch fish on rock bluffs, docks, gravel transitions, drains and ditches as well as fishing directors under the boat in 20-40ft. 

I’m doing a live session Wednesday. I want to talk about the rod and reel combos you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO HAVE. 

See y’all at 8pm Et

This is how I rigged my Gremlin on a chatterbait EVO in SUF Florida/ Part 1

Here's a method that's sure to reel in some impressive catches! When fishing in depths of 6-8ft, a chatterbait is your best ally. Opt for a 3/8 or 1/2 oz chatterbait to ensure the right amount of weight for the depth, providing a lifelike movement that tantalizes lurking fish.

Your rod and reel matter too. I recommend the 7'2" Blat signature series rod. It has the perfect balance of sensitivity and strength, allowing you to feel the subtlest of tugs, while also standing up to the fight of a hefty catch. Pair this with a 6:3:1 reel. This gear ratio is ideal for baitcasting in these water depths, offering a smooth retrieve and ample cranking power.

Don't forget about the line. A 15lb test line offers the perfect blend of strength and stealth. It's strong enough to handle the pull of a decent-sized fish, yet thin enough to be almost invisible in the water, ensuring your chatterbait remains the star of the show.

The technique to employ here is pumping the bait off the bottom. It's all about rhythm - let the chatterbait sink, then give your rod a good jerk to make the bait jump off the bottom. This mimics the movement of a startled prey, an irresistible lure for any predatory fish in the vicinity.

Remember, every location and condition calls for a unique strategy. This setup and method are tailored for 6-8ft water - a common scenario in many lakes and large rivers. So gear up, cast your line, and watch as the fish bite! Happy fishing, everyone!

How many of you are kayak fishermen? I’m thinking about bringing in a kayak content creator.
