DROP SHOT vs TEXAS RIG – Easy Bass Fishing Rigs That Work!

 

Today I am fishing a drop shot and a Texas rig, and these are both easy bass fishing rigs that work. I start out fishing with the drop shot and a soft plastic worm. The first bite rips the tail right off. I eventually catch a bass on the dropshot. I even catch a big bluegill when I swap the worm for a minnow. Finally we fish the Texas Rig and I catch another largemouth bass, larger than the first two fish combined. Fishing Tip: Both the drop shot and the Texas rig can catch fish, and tonight both fishing rigs showed off their capability! #realistic #fishing

How To Find Bass When Fishing From Shore (Lake Fishing)

 

Curious about how to find bass when fishing from shore? Today we are lake fishing for bass from the bank. The first thing I look for are weeds. Since I am able to find a few patches of weeds, that’s where I focus on catching fish. I’m fishing with a weedless Texas Rig and a baby brush hog (Big Bite Baits). I manage to catch two largemouth bass, and even a Warmouth Sunfish! Even though there aren’t a lot of weeds in the lake, I am still catching them by the small amount of weeds that are actually there. Want to know how to find bass from shore? Fishing tip: Fish near the weeds. #realistic #fishing
