Drew Gill’s Urchin Clinic

@pcsdualpro High Frequency Fishing: MLF Pro Angler Drew Gill heads to a small Southern Indiana reservoir during the post-spawn transition, armed with the bait that’s taken over bass fishing: the Coike. With bluebird skies, 88-degree air temps, and water sitting at 76 degrees, Gill shows why this slow-falling, nearly-suspending soft plastic has become a go-to weapon around laydowns, stumps, and schools of bass pulled up off the bottom.
Watch as Gill breaks down how he rigs the Coike with nail weights for a near-suspending fall, why he fishes it more like a glide bait than a traditional soft plastic, and how he manages a school of fish to keep them biting without “educating” them. The session results in five solid bass and a near-six-pound kicker in about 90 minutes of fishing.

Featured Bait: Coike
Location: Southern Indiana Reservoir
Conditions: 88°F air / 76°F water, bluebird skies
Pattern: Post-spawn, bass relating to wood and schooling fish
