Catching Suspended Fish

Featured Replies

I'm finding stacks of fish suspended between 10-18 ft at my home lake right now, and am having trouble catching them. Only catching 1 or 2 per trip. I've been throwing the kitchen sink at them, swimbaits, spinnerbaits, and crank baits. What else should I be trying or what has worked for you guys?

For suspended bass here, we long line some 6Xds and try and plow it right through the school. Works great here on Douglas Lake, even though this lake is notorious for catching tough suspending bass. Flutter spoons also work pretty well too.

Try 1/8 oz dart head jig with 4" to 5" finesse worms w/ curl tails or 3/16 oz fish head jig with 3" to 4" kick tail minnow. You can dead stick these at the depth the bass are holding.

Rapala DT14. Try different colors until they react.

Two words: Drop. Shot.

Flutter spoon could provide a look they haven't seen before, not many people seem to use em.

Drop shot, big worms and 5XD and 6XDs are what we're catching em on up here.  I'm finding fish from 9-22'.
