Re: Spooky Brook Pond
A couple things that you "can" try for bedding bass, although some people frown upon catching them off their beds. I don't. I like to catch big fish and I put them right back. You have the right idea with using baits and lures that might "threaten" their eggs. Every nest has a "sweet spot" that you can sometimes see. It's where the eggs are. If you get a lure close enough to it, the bass will attempt to pick up your lure and move it away from the nest, at which point, you set the hook. I use either Tube Baits or T-Rigged Salamanders and work them through the nest until the bass responds. If that fails, a drop-shot rig will also get a soft-plastic eye level and cause a bedding bass to react. Also, if you're a lure junky like me, Jackall makes a great sunfish imitation called the Giron that will sink and stand on its nose. Jackall designed the bait for bedding bass, and it works. BTW, I used to live down there and tried looking for that place a few times since I know there are channels in there. Is that the place by the golf-course?
