Default Suspended Fish


Suspended Fish

Certain lake I fish always has bass suspended 25 ft. down in 40 ft. of
water. Problem is they will not bite.
Any presentation that works for these fish. They are rather big fish
too.
thanks,

I'm not an expert, and you will probably get some better advice, but a
simple approach.....down size your tackle and bait, and "slow" down you
presentations!

Small jigs, and finesse worms worked slow. Suspended bass usually won't
waste a lot of energy chasing fast moving lures! Also the strikes will
probably be suttle, so lighter line, and watching your line action is
the key to hook ups.

If that doesn't work, do what I do, go find a point or channel that's
about the same depth as the suspended fish were at, and drop shot
some....no luck there, head for the marina and have a cold beer!
Don't get too frustrated, suspended bass are tough....just ask the pros.
