Bass Fishing With Stickworms
Filed under: Bass Fishing — mike @ 12:03 pm
Stickworms like Senkos, Gulp Sinking Minnow and Yum Dinger are bass
producing lures on their own but here’s a way to make them even
better when fishing weeds. Usually you fish a stickworm without
any weight and Texas rig it in the middle so both ends of the worm
is dangling and shake the rod tip so the worm wiggles every once in
a while.
When fishing weeds, the lure will get tangled in them and attach
themselves. Besides, sometimes you want the lure not to go all the
way to the bottom when the fish are suspended and hard to catch.
Here is where to start the process, first find out where the weed
bed is located, the start of it, the end of it and the edge of it.
Once you locate the weedbed, put a slip bobber on your line like a
cigar float as most know them. Add two feet of leader then add
your stickworm Texas Style on a 1/0 hook. On sunny days you might
have to increase the leader length.
Here’s a key element in all this, you need a breeze. Why? Well,
because we are going to cast the bobber and lure and let it drift
over the weedbeds. Ok, the bobber will jiggle up and down and
make the lure jiggle too as it drifts across the beds. Watch your
line and bobber, sometimes the strike is so subtle that you barely
notice it and other times the bass will attack it and about jerk
the rod out of your hands. I have also used this technique with
another floating lure instead of a bobber but the bobber makes it
easy to adjust the line depth according to the weedbeds you’re
fishing.
This technique is great for clear water and water that is over
fished. You are out of sight of the fish and the only thing they
see is the lure and perhaps the bobber sometimes.
