shimmy Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 man, i just can't put the jig away at this depth. First thing i'll probably throw even if there is no structure. I'm just weird like that! 1 Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted June 28, 2013 Super User Posted June 28, 2013 If the bottom in 15-20 fow, jig or shakey head. If the fish are holding in 15-20 fow, a deep crank, scrounger jig/trailer, or a spinnerbait. Also have been known to break out the spoon! Jeff Quote

Super User Jrob78 Posted June 29, 2013 Super User Posted June 29, 2013 Jig for me too, usually a football head jig. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 29, 2013 Global Moderator Posted June 29, 2013 shakyhead, football jig, or deep running crank. Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted June 30, 2013 Super User Posted June 30, 2013 Swimjig with a paddle tail trailer for the suspended fish and a standard jig or Texas rig assuming we are talking about a summer pattern. I just hate cranking. Quote

Super User WRB Posted June 30, 2013 Super User Posted June 30, 2013 If the bass are holding at the depth, suspended of deeper water I would pass them up and make note they are there for a later time. If the bass are on structure or in deep cover like wood, then several lures come to mind. Jigs; Dart head with curl tail worm. Matty, football head skirted jig with a tail spinner for the trailer. Jig n Pig. Scrounger head with Sluggo trailer. Under spins like Sworming Horents or Blackmore horse head with jr fluke trailers. Deep diving crankbaits Slow rolled spinner baits. Structure spoons. T-rigged worms with brass n glass. Swimbaits This depth is normal for me, the stained water isn't. Good water clarity you can use nearly everything including top water. Tom Quote
Super User Sam Posted June 30, 2013 Super User Posted June 30, 2013 Deep diving crankbait. Carolina Rig Jig and Pig Shaky Head Drop Shot if nothing else works. Quote
Downeaster2010 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Most of the jigs and drops work pretty good, but if it gets deeper than that and there are fish present, I have use a Hopkins spoon to reel them in. Using a Hopkins to me was out of desperation, and surprisingly it saved my butt, only because fish were so deep. I have them in the tacklebox, and haven't tied one on since, even though I know it works. Quote

Super User Deleted account Posted July 2, 2013 Super User Posted July 2, 2013 A lot depends on the bottom composition, and how the fish are relating, but a big jig, carolina rig, T-rig, jigging spoon, and a crankbait that will get down there are hard to beat. If they are down there and they won't bite bass lures, I hit them with some salt water jigging lures, that usually seals the deal. I don't really enjoy fishing for bass deep, and I'm on a frog bite right now so.... Quote

I normally throw a jig or 10" worm and I catch walleye. Go figure. I'm not big on fishing deep either. I need to figure something out. The bite really shuts down during the summer, and one or two quality fish can make a big difference at the scales.. Quote
