Something for the bass enthusiasts to consider... Every year late May to early June we transition to more of a horizontal presentation vs vertical while fishing for hybrids/striper. This presentation becomes more and more critical as the water continues to warm. We start with heavier lures with a leaner profile and gradually transition to lighter slower fluttering designs in August and September. Every summer we pick off solid numbers of 3-4 pound large mouth bass with a few pigs thrown in the mix. The technique seems to work best on points or steep ledges with scattered stumps/debris. I would imagine this method to be a nice break from slow dragging a Carolina rig, or the workout of fishing a deep diving crank effectively. A coupe pics of pigs we were fortunate enough to land. I would definitely rig a large single stinger on the head if targeting bass. These green fish have a terrible habit of shaking heavy lures! lol

Those are some solid chunks! What kind of retrieve are you using on the horizontal presentation. Thanks for the information.

Thanks guys. Its awesome to feel that big thump and see the line go slack because she's coming up! Those are some solid chunks! What kind of retrieve are you using on the horizontal presentation. Thanks for the information. I wont just give away every detail, but I'll give you the critical pieces to the puzzle. Its not just chunking and winding. You have to FISH it. Critical Method: boat position relative to structure or school of fish rod orientation lure weight/profile/color- rate of fall most critical speed of retrieve number of reel turns before free fall back to bottom- Where are you marking fish in relation to the bottom? This is a great post front method on suspended fish as well. We have thrown at a school for 20 min without a bite trying to make them fire. All it takes is one bite, and its on!
