Tackle Bait: Tackling Spotted Bass

fishing_tips: "Some of the most-productive areas for summertime spotted bass include rocky points, sheer rock bluffs, underwater railroad beds and current pulled through the dam. In all cases, remember that spotted bass are driven to feed by power-generating lakes. Fish main river points with small jigs, grubs and tiny plastic worms as soon as the current begins to run on the lake. Rocky points out on the main river will draw spotted bass like a magnet when the current first starts running when you fish these points with Carolina-rigged 4-inch plastic worms"

Tackle Bait: Smallmouth And Jerkbaits

fishing_tips: "Smallmouth and jerkbaits are synonymous terms with anglers. The smallmouth is undeniably the most aggressive of the bass and its predator instinct is easily triggered by the jerking action of this “reaction bait.” Using a weighted jerkbait increases coverage of the strike zone, expanding the opportunities for using this lure throughout the year.

More than most lures, weighted jerkbaits demand the right 'cadence' (retrieve timing) to draw strikes. This is because they're being used to tempt sluggish bass in cold water. Here are some retrieves to try: Sinking Retrieve (extremely cold water): Make a long cast to the target zone.As soon as the lure hits the water, jerk the rod tip sharply so the bait dives. Stop. Hold the rod parallel to the water and to the side.Twitch the rod tip, reel up slack, and twitch again, much as when fishing a plastic worm. Repeat. When properly weighted, the lure will sink slowly between twitches like a dying shad.Most strikes occur as the lure sinks slowly. Watch your line. If it jumps, set the hook hard. Remember that bass will be extremely sluggish in cold water."
