Picky Bass In Canal

Featured Replies

hey whats up everyone. i just went to a canal by the homestead motor sports complex to fish. there was a lot of fish but man i will tell you they are picky lol. i started off with some shiners and only got one hit from a peacock bass. a small one too. i saw the bigger ones and nothing. i ran out of shiners cause this garfish came and kept snatching them until i caught him lol.

well i switched to shallow shad from rapala and still got no hits. then i went with some senkos and nada. i was trying to figure this guys out. i saw one female that had a fat belly and even if i put the worm close to here, she wasnt having it.

any advice on what to make these peacocks and LRG mouth bass bite?!?

Im guessing if the LMB are sitting at one spot at not biting, they are spawning. I use a 3" grub or crayfish imitator t rigged to catch spawning bass. Cast a little further than where the bass r sitting and reel in extremely slowly. Drag the lure along the bottom and pause 10 seconds for every twitch when your lure is on the nest. The bass will pick it up and wait 1 second for it to eat it then set the hook.
