Flipping, Pitching, and Casting Bass Jigs

Prespawn bass activities generally catch me flipping, pitching, and casting quality largemouth bass jigs on various Texas Lakes.  With female bass moving into spawning areas, usually in creek channels in close proximity to where they will spawn, focusing on stumps, rocky areas, and docks as transition areas, jigs are the supreme method to catch those often sought female bass.  There are few baits that can be used in so many different bass fishing situations.  Well, the prespawn period isn't for several months, but females, like their male counterparts, are currently feeding in 15-30 feet of water on various Texas lakes, fattening up for the cold winter months.  So, I decided to flip, pitch, and cast a new jig that I got from Lunkercatch.com.

All-Terrain Tackle Jigs has a complete series of unique flipping, pitching, and casting jigs: The Rattling Jig.  Lunkercatch.com sells these very jigs and I must say I am very happy with my assortment of ATT bass jigs, especially The 3/4 ounce Green Pumpkin Rattling A. T. Jig.  I used this jig all day long, bounced it off rocky bottoms, hit trees with it, and caught quite a few two-pound largemouth bass.  Most of my catches came off of casting to drop offs, much like I'd do with a football jig, but I did catch two bass by flipping this bass jig under docks on Lake Ray Hubbard.  I added one of my favorite trailers to The Rattling A. T. Jig: Fish Candy Bait Company's Watermelon Seed Flapper Hawg.  

Lunkercatch.com has All-Terrain Tackle Jigs and Fish Candy Bait Company soft baits for purchase.  Considering price and performance, both baits are easily worth every penny.  In fact, try a few different colors so you are prepared for that next tournament full of wild weather conditions.  These are top baits for bass fishing, so load your arsenal with the right bass lures for success.  I am very pleased with both products.

Fall Fishing Turned Cold

Bass fishing can be a difficult sport, especially with erratic weather changes and for whatever reason, these major environmental changes keep happening the day before local and regional tournaments in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas - three of my favorite bass fishing areas. Tough bass fishing, no doubt.

One thing is apparent: finesse fishing has been my most consistent way to get my five keepers, though size has been an issue. Five 1.75lb largemouth bass doesn't get the job done! So, to counteract size issues, I've been fishing medium-diving crankbaits in shad patterns near drop offs and on points, especially when the wind picks up.

The shallow bite in 1-8 feet has largely been inconsistent for lengthy periods of time.
