Clear Water Blues
Clear
water calls for different; well you might say unorthodox methods of catching
weary Bass. Hey, if you can see them in the clear water amongst the weeds
then they can surely see you!
Now remember, you see them so, the good thing is you know darn well they are there! So what I do is cast or flip my bait, combined with a fluorocarbon leader, a good far distance from the boat and let it hit the water with the loudest splash I can muster. Stealth, in this case, is irrelevant. Think about it….if the Bass are in there and not spooked by natural noises such as Cray fish, wounded bait fish, dropped minnows from fighting gulls or just a frog, they will come and see what made the ruckus. Better yet, if the bait just happens to land in the Bass’s line of view, it will smack it thinking that it’s just Mother Nature in the vicinity and not a Bass Boat!
