CATCH BASS WITH JERK-BAIT

Tricking bass into thinking your lure is the enemy is the key to successful post-spawn fishing, according to fishing pro Bernie Schultz. After spawning, fish tend to be lethargic and unresponsive to bait. (Sound familiar?) However, using a narrow minnow-shaped lure in a "jerk, pause, jerk" movement will get the attention of a protective parent. It isn't necessarily that the fish are hungry, he says. "More likely, what they're doing is striking at forage fish that are trying to eat the fry." In this informative article, you'll find tips for getting the attention of post-spawn bass and learn more about Schultz's techniques. An interesting article with some practical advice.
