bare bank fishin

[zooker]

catching fish off a completely bare bank is something we all face during winter draw downs.-or summer droughts in this case - more so during the fall bass fishin season.. the bass are feeding shallow during the blue back herring spawning. which-for here- is typically last 2 weeks of sept and the first 2 weeks of october..

schools in -take notes-the bass are biting and the godfather is preachin..

lets get a typical bank.


do ya see the fish holding struture here?? it is the lil stick ups, -in this case- a bucket, and the lil mini point sticking out in the lake.. water depth is SKINNY and clear.

working all of the visable struture throughly with hard baits. this may get you a fish but do NOT move till you fish back through it with a spider grub or a baby paca..

does it work ??
well yeah!


caught this lil feller second pass thru the above struture -i actually worked 4 baits thru the above struture-

of course my favorite 2 baits for bare banks-lizzy don't look..



the tiny 1/8oz square billed clunn money maker
and a 1/4oz strike king -carolina chip repaint-the same bait lizzy has nightmares about btw..

i caught 18 bass doing this today big about 3 pounds not huge but fun..
