skekoam Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Ok, so there is a lake that I frequent where I see bass jumping around in the middle of a large bush/brush pile. Its almost like a tree about 5 ft tall with very tough reeds/straws growing out of it. The bass are literally jumping right in the middle of it. If you look closely, you can see tons of line and other tackle hung up and caught in there. Is there an approach to somehow get to these bass without the luxury of heavy braided line? I've tried to do small pitches to the outter edges, but no luck yet. Thanks! Quote
LonnieP Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 The lake I fish has a brush pile similar to that. I've lost a lot of crankbaits running through it but I've caught 2 bass over 5 lbs in it this year on a Squarebill. Another thing I do is throw a Senko right it the middle of it and that produced a big bass last year. Also throw a jig or a t rigged plastic in there. About all you can do is take a chance on getting hung up but sometimes it really pays off. 3 Quote

CrankFate Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 I have never been able to catch jumping bass. Quote
