Large Mouth Bass
Today I went fishing at Silverwood Lake in California. I hiked backed in to Vista Point, which is by the Silverwood Lake entrance. From where I parked, it is about a mile to get to where I fished. This is due to the fact that the lake entrance is currently closed, however you are allowed to walk in and fish. Lately I have been fishing in the late evening and into the night, but today I went mid day. This catch occurred at about 3PM. This catch is about my 12th Bass since the end of March. Honestly I have never caught this many Bass ever.
Using a Jig
I typically use jerk bait when fishing for Bass or Striper. Today I used a jig. I was also using 8lb test line on a medium trout rod with a spinning reel. I probably casted about 5 times letting the jig bounce off the bottom as I reel it in slowly and steadily. On this 5th cast, I felt a tug and immediately set the hook. Bam! It was about a 3 pounder. After weighing it, I released it. I am always looking for new products and strategies to use, so comment below and share your ideas. Please see video and pic below.
