dfris Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could give me some advice or idea on a fishing problem i faced a few times this past fishing season. There was a few times, when I was fishing, that I was only catching tiny maybe 3-5 inch bass. They were actually hitting a kvd 1.5 crank bait. It seemed all day long was just these tiny little fish. I was fishing shallow on main points on the lake. Anyone have any idea on what was going on, and what I should of done in this situation? Thanks Daryl Quote
MIbassin Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Some suggestions that come to mind are go deeper to main lake structure and use bigger lures Quote
Loop_Dad Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Sounds like only little ones were there at the shallow that day. I would fish deeper or some different spots. Quote
livetofish28 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 You could try a jig or a big Texas or Carolina rig on the same point that will normally weed out the little ones and if you aren't catching fish on that try a Yum money minnow on a swimbait hook or a bigger square bill like a 2.0 or 2.5 Tight lines Andrew Quote
dfris Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks Everyone, Ill remember that this year when fishing. Quote
Super User geo g Posted January 9, 2014 Super User Posted January 9, 2014 I would slow down and see if they are lower in the water column. Using a fluke or senko find the closest drop off and see if they are under the smaller bass. When having problems slow down, and then slow down more. Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted January 9, 2014 Super User Posted January 9, 2014 tiny bass don't hang out with big bass. move I like that answer! Quote
Uncle Leo Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I like that answer! Unless the big bass are there to eat them!!!!! Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted January 10, 2014 Super User Posted January 10, 2014 Unless the big bass are there to eat them!!!!! At my local lake there is a spot I always go that the baby bass hang out in the early morning. (Fingerlings) I always hit that spot, they are just as good as a school of shad/baitfish. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted January 24, 2014 Super User Posted January 24, 2014 Little bass don't like hanging with big bass, but the feeling isn't mutual It's possible that your lake supports a population of stunted bass, where the best move might be to another body of water. Roger Quote
Super User tomustang Posted January 24, 2014 Super User Posted January 24, 2014 Easiest way to fix that is to downsize your gear Quote
