Deep Water Bass Secrets


Deep Water Bass Secrets Deep Water Bass Secrets
By Ken Sturdivant

All we have to say about this lake is simply offshore structure. Most bass anglers cannot fish things that they cannot see. So there are fish in all lakes that have never seen a lure. Any lake in he country is no exception. Several years ago we saw a local lake that had been was lowered to 15 feet below full pool. After spending a week looking at all the creeks and river areas, it was quite apparent that if you are throwing at the bank the fish are under the boat. How many times has this happened. The first place you choose to fish can be any point, cove or bend in the creek or river. The trolling motor goes in the water and there are the fish, right there on the locator. And then, you cast to the bank. After repeating this once again, you are standing on the fish. And they have never been fished.

So how do you avoid this common bass angler problem. It's real easy but you have to force yourself to make this work. Pull up to that same location, point creek bend or cove or even a dock. Now instead of casting to the same places that every one else does, try this. Pull the boat up ON the shallow point, cove or docks and now, cast out. All the fish you have been missing are now looking at your bait. And it does not matter what you use, no. When was the last time you cast a buzz bait OUT? Now this is an easy test.

Make ten casts out off the sides of the point and each cast should be at a different area. Fan cast this area and when you get a strike, pay attention to where you got that strike. Now you can make 5 casts to the same place and possibly land 5 fish that could weigh 25 pounds. A whopping 5 pound average. You have all the lures in your boat to experiment with.

If one point has a school of fish on it, chances are that all the rest of the points in the area may even have bigger schools and bigger fish. But do not cast to the bank. That is what everyone else does. now duplicate success and move on to the next locations.
