Summer Bass Fishing! Epic Topwater Bite + Ledge Fishing Tips!
Ledge fishing, topwater in shallow backwaters, grass fishing, and fast moving current... Chickamauga is a junk fishing paradise and today we're going exploring! Come along as we catch them out deep on the ledges and dirt shallow on topwater in the same day!
Matt starts the day off with 16 rods rigged and on deck. He has absolutely no pattern in mind and is going to adapt to the fish. He begins out deep, catching a few fish on ledges in heavy current before deciding to move shallow. The day takes a twist when the topwater bite fires up! Watch as a few blow ups on a frog and walking bait becomes a full-blown predictable pattern.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment we were using throughout the day. We've included sizes and colors where relevant as well as a few different options of the "MBR" rods Matt was raving about at the end.
