Ice Water Bass

I appreciate the details Rich - I think my problem might be the c-tail i'm
using, think I'll try a rigid straighttail worm.

As for the shakey head, I know what you're talking about. I've been using
it for decades too, only always called it a "ball head" before this year
lol.

Rich can you describe your coldwater dropshot technique? I've haven't
been getting the results I'd like to on the dropshot, but switch to a
shakey head & wammo.

Short (6" to 8") dropper, and a fairly stiff worm -- both motor oil and
black worked well for us last weekend. Casting to 8-10 feet of water, and
jiggling the weight down the steep drops. I'm sitting in 40 to 50 feet,
just a short pitch from the 8-10 foot range I'm casting too --
often have to open the bail several times on the retrieve to let the
sinker 're-find' the bottom.

I don't know what all the fuss about the shakey head is. I've always
fished small worms and grubs on a 1/16 to 1/4 oz head, and if the fish are
the least bit tough, I always employ what I call 'jiggle fishing', which
is basically shaking the rod tip on a slack-to-semi-slack line. Been
fishing that way for 40 years. Now somebody went and invented it.

It's just a tiny ballhead jig tipped with your favorite finesse worm Big. I
barely move it in the cold water, and fish it on light fleurocarbon line.
They eat it up.

Can I bother you for Silver Buddy details? I know its hot in the cold
water. Think I'm going out tomorrow too...

About the same water temp. here in Michigan Warren, I've been getting
some nice largemouth on 1/2 oz. blade baits silver buddy type. I have
never fished a shakey head how do you work that.

A worm on a ball jig was probably the second bass lure I learned to use. I
would drag it up a sandy beach and wait for them to pick it up, and in rip
rap or a rock pile I would let it hang on a rock and then just shake it
until it popped loose.
