Deep water Bass fishing?
I have been fishing rather deep water in Lake Martin (Alabama.) The depth on my fish finder has ranged from 20-40 feet of water. Now I have been expermiting with the deeper water fishing for bigger fish. Although it has been sucesseful so far, the biggest I have caught during the past couple weeks was about 8 1/2 lbs.
Now for the question… I have been throwing a 3/4 oz either chartuse or black and blue jig with a pork trailor on the end with 16 lb test. I know fishing deep like this is a rather slow go, but do you think there is a way of speeding the fish up into biting in the deep water. Like for instance, start throwing some 4-6 inch swimbaits or go to a smaller jig? Or just stick with what’s working and go from there?
If any of you have fished deep water much, you know it’s a slow go no matter what. Because those little bastards aren’t running (swiming, lol) and grabbing it before the heavyweights can.
If what you are doing is working why change !
The only suggestion I would have is try dropping down to a smaller size line say 12 or 14 lb line. This would speed the drop of the bait with the smaller line size having less resistance on the fall. But then again with the heaver line you are using that might just be why you are catching those deep fish, due to the slow fall.
I know fishing deep like that really taxes my patience LOL and why I am not very good at it, or is it I have one hell of a time holding my boat position.
If what you are doing is working, and you do not want to try a drop shot rig, stick with how you are catching the fish.
