Still getting them to bite in December 2023

 


I was out there yesterday for about 45 minutes and caught three of them. They were all very healthy, large, and in charge! The weather conditions were ideal. It warmed up to around 55 degrees even though the water was still very cold. Without a doubt the bass were activated and willing to chase a bit during this session.


The Sexy Shad Jerkbait from Academy's H20 brand is still getting it done. I have been using this one for a couple of years and it seems to be versatile for several ways that you might want to fish it. I have been using it in extremely clear water and it works. I know people will tell you to use for transparent jerkbaits for very clear water and that might be the case...but this one definitely works too even though it is more solid or opaque in color.

From some of my previous posts it has been about the retrieve. It has been a very slow retrieve and a more subtle jerk that has been getting it done. It has been about stopping, pausing longer, and then retrieving. FUN! One of my favorite times of the year to fish is right now!
