BassinMidWest Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 The ice is just about off the water, and I'll be running and gunning to get fishing again! So here's the scenario: Cold water (40 -50 degrees) Pre Spawn; Shallow water (4-7 feet) New years submerged grass (coon tail, and milfoil) Last year I really did well on lipless crankbaits pulled around the grass, but I feel I could have capitalized more on the good fishing by throwing a variety of other baits. Once the bite on the lipless crank slows down what do you suggest throwing? I'm thinking a jig n pig combo, square bill, slow rolled spinnerbait, suspending jerkbait, and/or scrounger head with a small fluke. Thanks, and let me know if you need anymore information! Quote
Packard Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Jigs always work well. Jerkbaits, Flat-Sided Square bills, Swim Jigs, Spinnerbaits, and Slowly Worked Plastics all work. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 27, 2012 Global Moderator Posted February 27, 2012 If the water is clear to stainded I'd be fishing a jerkbait over that grass. A flat sided crankbait just ticking the top of that grass would be another good option. Quote
quanjig Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 BIG scrounger and BIG thumping spinnerbaits worked around the grass edges! Quote
