How to Fish a Ditch (Beginner Offshore Bass Fishing)
If you’ve ever heard anglers talk about ditch fishing and had no idea what they meant, this video is for you.
In this video, I break down how to fish an offshore ditch for bass, specifically for beginners. Before getting into how to fish one, I quickly explain what a ditch actually is so everything makes sense — then we get straight into where to fish and what to throw.
Most of the ditches I’m fishing are deep (25–60 feet), including ditches that run through marinas on man-made lakes. This is a high-percentage winter pattern that a lot of anglers fish right over without realizing it.
In this video you’ll learn:
