I Was Catching BIG Suspended Bass 20 Years Before Anyone Else — Here’s How
I was catching big suspended bass 20 years before most anglers ever thought about targeting them, and in this video I’m showing you exactly how I find and catch suspended bass today. If you want to learn how to catch suspended bass with a swimbait, how to find baitfish, identify the thermocline, locate bottlenecks and channel swings, and keep your bait at the exact depth those bass are feeding, this is the complete system. I’m using the XZone Swammer in the 4.75- and 5.5-inch sizes with 1/4-, 3/8-, and 1/2-ounce jig heads to cover the entire water column from just under the surface all the way down to deep water. We’ll break down swimbait fishing for bass, how to count down a swimbait, how jig-head weight changes both depth and retrieve speed, how to use basic 2D sonar to locate suspended fish and baitfish, and even how to find these fish without forward-facing sonar. This is an especially effective late-summer and early-fall bass fishing pattern when shad and other baitfish suspend in creeks, over deep water, along grass edges, channel swings, ledges and reservoir bottlenecks. All the baits and gear are linked below in the description. We keep everything here free—no memberships, no paid content—so if you’re picking up some tackle anyway, using those links is one of the best ways you can support the channel.

About this video:
This bass fishing video is a complete guide to suspended bass fishing, swimbait fishing, deep-water bass fishing and locating bass that are feeding on suspended shad and baitfish during late summer and early fall. We cover how to catch suspended bass, how to find bass without LiveScope or forward-facing sonar, using basic 2D sonar for bass fishing, reading the thermocline, finding baitfish, fishing channel swings, creek bottlenecks, ledges, grass edges and offshore structure, plus how bass position underneath schools of shad and bluegill. You’ll learn how to fish a swimbait for bass throughout the entire water column, how to count down a swimbait to the correct depth, how to choose between 1/4-ounce, 3/8-ounce and 1/2-ounce swimbait jig heads, how jig-head weight affects retrieve speed, how to slow roll a swimbait, and how to target bigger bass with oversized swimbaits like the XZone Swammer. We also cover swimbait rods, reels, fishing line, long casts, hooksets and landing big bass without letting them jump and throw a heavy swimbait. Whether you fish reservoirs, river lakes, grass lakes, clear water, stained water, offshore structure or deep creeks, this suspended bass fishing system can help you find active fish, stay in the strike zone longer and catch more bass throughout the late-summer-to-fall transition.
