Plastic swim bait skimming the grass was the ticket!! Was also able to convince them to chomp on a red eyed shad. I have always been decently insecure about my ability to catch fish in the winter. I did some research and plastic swim baits (specifically with an under spin jig head) was a tactic I kept seeing over and over. I knew that was my best shot on the body of water I was fishing. It was really cool to gain some confidence and see the method come to life. Landed some good fish. Give this method a try and let me know how you do or if this is something you have had success with this year or in the past.

Very nice sir. Enjoyed it

Cool video!

It's hard to leave when you are on them.. Cool video, and thx for sharing.

Prosise

Nice video man!


Rippin' Traps out of the grass is a favorite of mine around here.

I appreciate it guys. It weird to me how well the crank bait gets through the grass. You would think with 2 exposed treble hooks it would cause all kinds of problems. Hydrilla though is for sure a forgiving version of grass though, so that helps!! Keep rippin lips fellas!

Nice video.

Nice video and congrats. Next try a chatterbait and let it fall into grass and rip it out keep doing that ....yo-yoing it back. Can do the same with the trap. They will hit on the stop or fall. I love to yo-yo a chatterbait and they don’t get fouled as much by grass

Thank you guys, I appreciate the feedback.

Yes, I have not tried that method, the yoyo retrieval that is. Do you recommend a certain color for the chatterbait? Chatterbait is probably my favorite bait and it would be fun to get to keep using it year round haha!

Good info and way to go!!

Enjoyed it!
