Bedding Bass
Fishing bass during the spawn, in particular bedding bass - what a touchy subject! If you ask ten bass fishermen their thoughts, the answers will vary from “never” to “situation” to “always”, and the discussions on the subject sound like presidential debates. Let us delve into the “situation”. Why? Because this is the one I adhere to, and I am going to go over the thought process, baits, and what to look for.
Live Target Lures
It’s been a while since I’ve done a product profile and to be honest I kind of miss doing them. I love researching new and innovative products that are hitting the market to share with my fellow YakAnglers. Well after a recent kayak fishing trip with my brother-in-law I found a product that I figured fit the season.
HOBIE BAYSIDE VS. COSTA DEL MAR WAVEKILLERS
Ah, sunglasses, one of the most pivotal aspects of kayak fishing. Not only do they help us see our quarry and the structure they hide in and around, but they protect our eyes from the sun and flying lures. I was given the opportunity to review the hobie bayside and I thought I would match them up against my costa Del mar wave killers. I “broke” each one down into pro and cons, let’s see how each stood out.
How To Make Soft Plastic Lures
So you want to pour your own soft plastics, huh? Then this is where you need stay for the duration. So start off lets go over what you will need, (ya, I am jumping right into it so hold on yall)
YakAngler Pro Staff
With the end of the year quickly approaching we here at YakAngler wanted to give a special thanks to our Pro Staff and Editors. These guys contribute so much to our weekly articles, blogs, fishing reports, and so much more.
Stripers in the Bay
“JINGLE DRAGS, JINGLE DRAGS, COWS ARE ON THEIR WAY, TIME TO BE AT KIPTOPEKE, WHERE WE EEL ALL DAY HEY” This is the song all Striper kayak fisherman hear in there merry heads after thunder chicken day “thanksgiving”. The water temps drop and the Stripers from the northern Atlantic merge with the “rockfish” from the northern bay at the concrete ships and the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel (CBBT). This is going to become a how to, where to, and a traveler’s guide to fishing the winter BassZilla migration of Virginias eastern shore.
Pre Spawn Hawgs
Ah, its mid march, the air is warming, the flowers are peeking through the ground and bass are getting ready to make some babies. But the water is still too cold to catch bass, right. WRONG. For many avid bass anglers this is the time of year to get big bass in big numbers. The reason for this is its time for the pre spawn. When waters start to reach 55 to 60 degrees bass start to become aggressive and territorial but they are still in there wintering schools. So to find a pocket with 15 bass between 5 and 15 lbs. is not uncommon. Many of the fish will be moving towards there bedding locations also at this time, so look for flats with drop offs close by, I also cue on areas with cover near the drop offs this is a great ambush point for the bass to get an easy meal. I will also try to find creek beds and little creeks that feed the larger body of water, these areas will hold a lot of bass looking to feed on the migrating shad.
