Tech notes – Flipping Grass

June 2, 2015 by BHQ Admin

Flipping main lake grass beds can be a very effective way to catch early and mid-day largemouth bass. Flipping the outside edges of the grass line is a great way to catch those big bass as they aggressively feed along the grass edge with a flipping stick and sweet beaver craw. But don’t give up if you have not caught anything it gets better as the sun gets higher in the sky. That sun will push those fish under the grass and that’s when you need to flip the bait in the holes back into the middle of the grass beds. These bass are “BIG” so its a must that you have the right equipment to get those bass out of there. My weapons of choice is the Daiwa Steez 8ft flipping stick which I use for everything really it’s a great rod. coupled with a Steez bait caster with an 8:1 gear ratio to pull those fish out, and 20 lb Sunline Sniper fluorocarbon line.

Tight lines and hold on tight go get um…

Tech notes – Shakey head

June 1, 2015 by BHQ Admin

Shakey head fishing is a very effective way to fish shallow or deep water cover and structure. Seasonal patterns for bass as of now is post spawn transitioning from shallow to deep water summer ledges. My lure of choice is the Picasso Shake-E-Football head in 3/8 oz black and a reaction innovation Flirt 6.5 finesse worm. Tackle includes Diawa Steez spinning rod and reel in med/light action with 7lbs sunline sniper. Make a long cast to the structure and drag lure in short strokes, the bass pick up the worm and swim away. I like a sweep to the side hook set which will ensure a greater hookup catch ratio.

Tight lines and good fishing.
