Happy Post Memorial Day!!!
Hey fellow fishing fanatics, RetiredBassGuy here. I hope everyone had an enjoyable memorial day weekend! Out here the weather was great, and the fishing wasn’t too bad either! With the weekend behind us, I wanted to take a minute to share some of my favorite gear when the bass are shallow. I also wanted to share some great deals I’ve discovered from the folks at Pure Fishing! I’ve included links to some great promotions that are being offered for a limited time, so be sure to check them out below!
This past weekend I was down at my lake cabin and got a chance to spend some quality time on the water testing out some tried and true shallow water bass setups, as well as a few new ones! As expected, the bass were shallow, and the sun was high and bright, so for me this is the time to pitch plastics at the abundance of wood cover we have on our lake. My absolute favorite thing to do is to break out my ABU Garcia Revo MGX spooled up with 20lb Vanish Flourocarbon, paired with a 7’6″ Heavy Action Vendetta Rod, and a Havoc Pit Boss texas rigged with a 3/8 oz tungsten weight.
Once I have that setup in my hand it’s time to start dissecting cover! I covered water from 2 feet out to 10 feet, and picked up fish consistently in the shade lines, right beside the laydowns! What a blast! We all love to fish shallow, but this is my absolute go to rig, and one that I just love to fish! Next time you have these conditions, give it a try, I know you’ll be glad you did!
Until next time…Good luck and Tight Lines!
