In this episode I am float fishing with a grub for some springtime Yellow Bass and Bluegill. I am able to crate that grub profile using a lead jig head and half a honey worm. Since the water is still cold from all the rain we’ve had recently, I end up deciding that panfish are a more likely catch. Not only did I catch a yellow bass, but I also caught some really big bluegill. If you have a chance to go out and get some fishing in and you want to avoid that skunk, maybe try something that looks like a grub.

In this episode we see realistic spring fishing during a cold front and tricky fishing conditions sure can make things tough. The water temperature has dropped about two degrees since my last bass fishing video. It seems that now the bass are nowhere to be found. I still find it amazing how just a few degrees can really change fish behavior. I really had to grind it out just to catch four fish today. I really hope the weather improves so the water temperature continues to rise. If it would ever stop raining I might be able to catch more fish.

In this episode we see my best bass fishing day so far this year! In this video I talk about and show which lure catches all these bass. I still can’t believe how many bass I caught in such a short amount of time. I found these bass in the back of a creek feeding on shad. The water temperature was 53 degrees and I was really happy the fish are finally starting to come shallow. I not only caught a bunch of largemouth bass, I also caught one huge white bass. Some of you might be surprised that I am not using a red lure to catch all these bass.

Keep in mind that doesn’t mean you wont have to look for them though. I didn’t find any fish near the shallow rock bluffs but I found these fish near a shallow water weed edge. As the water warms up more and more the fish will come to shallow water. I hope the water temperature continues to rise sooner than later.
