Cranking Largemouth Bass.
Posted on June 30th, 2022While most Largemouth Bass anglers like either casting spinner baits, fishing top-water in the weeds or fishing soft-plastics around weeds/cover. My wife Barb and I like to search out large weedbeds surrounded by open-water and cast crankbaits to Largemouth Bass that feed mostly on smaller fish and often are overlooked by other anglers.
Our strategy is to find these large weedbeds out from shallower bays. I believe the Largemouth Bass will cruise into the shallower bays during low-light and at night to hunt and as the sun intensity gets higher they move to their deeper water weed-layers where they wait inbetween the edge of the weeds for passing fish. That’s were we work our crankbaits that dive from 4-7′ in depth right along the weeds. We normally find good size Largemouth Bass and often get other species to smack our crankbaits that include Pike, Walleye and even Channel Catfish.
Make sure to check the fishing videos on our Italo Labignan YouTube channel and if you have any questions just email them to me at Ask Italo throughout our www.canadian-sportfishing.com website.
