Big Bass in Thick Cattails: Afternoon Beatdown
Join Casey Ehlert with Bass Brawl Outdoors for an afternoon bass beatdown after a storm cools the water 10 degrees. With only 2.5 hours to fish, he hits shallow, thick cattails under overcast skies, starting with a half-ounce Grassmaster jig and plastic chunk on a Full Metal Jacket 7’3 Destroyer rod with 40-pound braid. Second cast lands a giant! When the jig won’t break through, he switches to a 1-ounce punch rig, then a Jamaica Boa buzzbait, swimming lures slow for reaction bites in 8-12 inches of green water. Raptors anchor him silently in the wind, letting him pick apart pockets for bonus big fish. Links below for all gear—jigs, weights, rods, and more. Subscribe, like, and share for more post-storm action. Until next time, get out and fish!
