May Madness and Crank Baits

As we dip into the month of May no presentation catches more fish than crank baits. Absolutely the best presentation for fish, big fish and numbers of fish that you can choose. The bass migrate back out of the spawning coves, you can straight-line your map, find the drops, curves, grass lines or creeks and the bass will stack up like clock-work year after year.

When this occurs you have many options of crank baits to choose from. First is the square bill crank bait that bumps and snaps off of shell beds or wood and snaps out of grass like being ripped from the bottom. This bait causes reactions and competition among bass; you can catch them in bunches as they stack up near the creeks or pick up fish roaming looking for meals along grass lines.

As you move deeper I go to the Spro DD series deep diving crank baits, they wobble and make noise and have extremely sharp Gamakatsu hooks on them, and they catch fish. The bass are now moving to the secondary creeks off the spawning coves; it just takes a stump or curve or point on the bottom and you can load the boat. The secondary creeks are found by looking for the red line creeks beds noted on your GPS maps; you can also note them by the contour breaks on your map. You see deeper water inside the coves that attach somewhere near the main river ledges. It is very obvious on your map; you just have to follow it out from the creeks.

Lastly, use angles to find fish especially when you can see them stacked up on your Lowrance Structure Scan! As your working the secondary creek if you see a stump or shell bed covered in fish change presentation angles to get a bite it can mean all the difference in the world.
