Fishing a Finesse Jig in December

For me historically, it’s that time of year where the bass will start to position more so on the bottom and the jig bite can be really fantastic. Today we test out that theory on a cold foggy winter day in California.

That bite at 1825 when you flick the line and it hit and your rod bent. That was awesome. That whole 5 seconds was epic dude. Great video. Enjoy all your stuff man.

WOW! What a great day out. It was nice to sit down after work & watch. I made it out yesterday temps never made it to the 60’s & was hazy all day. It was like a ghost town out at our local lake I threw a bunch of stuff at them & didn’t even get one bit. I’m glad I got to watch you have a great day out there. Beautiful fish very healthy looking. Thanks for the views.

@TahoeBassLife Год назад

When you’ve got that many spots round, I’d switch to the 6” or the 68 special hudd. Little easier for them to smash and they will come unglued sometimes. Another great vid

@BobbyOfEarth Год назад

New to bass fishing 1984, I pitch a jig next to a log and a fish bites, I set the hook and the fish jumped out of the water and over the log, easy 11 or 12 lb bass, then she opened her mouth and was gone. Some-times, when we set the hook on a big fish, we only pull the jig against the inside of its mouth before the hook can penetrate...

Wow, you're going off on these bass today. Nice to see, especially this time of year. I dont even own or fish with a kayak. I mostly fish stripers from a boat. I do bass mainly in late spring, summer and early fall. The rest of the time its striper trolling .Youre channel is worth watching. I enjoy it. Thanks for youre quality work and fishing.

@travisbruno5964 Год назад

What a great vid brother, its about time you got on a stellar bite again because its been a little bit. This has definitely been my toughest year Bass fishing in NJ idk why

@scottbostic6247 Год назад

Greg, thank you. It's always good to see this. I have been doing better than normal for myself, catching fish but not like this. When I grow up, I wanna be just like you. 😆. Good to see the "bass thumb". Keep up the great videos and love all my shirts from you.

Thanks for your review of the native yaks Greg. I just got my slayer max 10 today. Was gonna wait till next year but couldn't pass up the deal at Kayak City. Hope to see you and the Dark Horse crew on the water some day. Never fished in a tourney, but want to try it for fun.

@dtorelli131 Год назад

I throw the keitech finesse jig with simple zoom twin tail grubs (small version) and I do really well dropping it on them like you had today. Something about it makes them eat the vertical jig over a dropshot

@westernmaineoutdoors Год назад

We love sideview and down imaging! The difference comes after seeing them on traditional sonar.. While old school you would traditionally blind cast at areas you think the fish are, livescope/ffs users are identifying the exact location and casting at the fish.

@trevorguide2802 Год назад

Hey Greg pro tip, get some super glue gel from the dollar store and put it on your trailers where they meet the jig, ned, etc your baits will stay on a lot longer. Thanks for the vids they help me unwind at night. Happy holidays, Trevor

@normanwilliams3933 Год назад

Very nice Vid Greg! Keep them coming bro! Why couldn't this be during a tournament!!!!

@bassinbilliards6279 Год назад

It's pretty typical this time of year really. Unless the waters rises drastically or turns muddy brown it's easy. The fish do the same thing on the same spots year after year. I hadn't been to berryessa in a long time. Went out around Thanksgiving and crushed them with the same techniques and spots I'd fish on other large lakes.

@18klan12 Год назад

It must be nice to be able to fish and hunt all year round. Our pond and lakes are 1 inch thick 🧊 ice.

@dave_ske2482 Год назад

One thing I’ve realised with Livescope, is that the fish are following nearly every cast. Definitely following it down and looking at it, it’s the getting them to commit that is the challenge.

You should get a mold for a creature bait and melt down all the cut pieces and bit up creatures to make a new one, so you don’t have to buy as many.
