White snd trees leaning into the Chanel show the Chanel or you can find it with a heavy jig trees higher than those around them indicate a hump

Thanks also helpful is a low gear ratio reel it’s impossible to fish a high gear ratio reel super slow

In winter bass are usually suspended over creeks or on the edges of flats close to creeks or deeper water, usually bright sunny days they suspend up and feed. A good method for locating the fish and the depth the fish are holding is to use a countdown lure. I like to use a 1/16 or 1/8 maribou jig as a count down, fish the water column until you get a strike, then fish the area at that depth with a jerk bait, rapala’s usually, original, 1 to 4 ft. deep diver, 4 to 8 ft. and countdown rapala if there more than 8 feet deep, no I don’t consider a rapala to be a crankbait so don’t go there, then find other creeks on the lake with similar depths and there will likely be fish! This is not my method but comes from Billy and Bobby Murray and Al and Ron Lindner! One of them won the classic do they must be smart! Right! gadgets graphs can spook fish especially if there shallow, study a map before you go to find likely areas then the trees will indicate the Chanel’s

I know it’s not summer but thinking of grass and pads do you every have success on a 6 or 8 inch white ribbon tail weightless fished on top, bill norman used to make a snatrix very similar but a ribbon tail or zoom c tail will work

Thanks i think that’s the inspiration for the chatterbait

Does anyone remember the name of a weedless lure that had a skirt, a body and a up turned metal lip that wobbled back and forth? Something like a whirlybird?

The good ole redneck dreamcatcher

What’s more interesting is why in a Shad dominated lake you can catch bass on a crawdad bait and visa versa opportunistic maybe right

One of the all time greatest fish catching lures. The original finesse method! i found them first at rusty’s tackle shop in Wichita ks when visiting my wife’s mother in ‘85

far and away a beetle spin

That’s called black water in Texas changes white to an off white, a white spinnerbait was the go to lure when fork first opened, bump the stump

No just a straight tail worm with hair or maribou on the front or on the tail

More power to ya! kids don’t bother me Maybe Your right it’s more about being a macho he man and being seen than about catching fish i don’t need a corvette to go to 7-11

Not trolling I don’t care what anyone thinks or if they never reply I have a right to my opinions and experiences don’t like videos where they stand up and fish either no chair on the deck any video with baitcasting is like fingernails on a chalkboard Too many wasted hours picking out backlashes anti-reverse did not help much

I’ll try anything once
