Bass fishing with a jerkbait, in late winter, is a must try from the bank. The erratic action of a jerkbait, combined with it’s suspending pause, make it an awesome prespawn fishing lure. I am bank fishing in water that is between 55 & 60 degrees. The bass are starting to move in to the backs of the creeks as they warm up. I usually see the smaller males first, and the larger fish show up a little later. Today I manage to catch two small largemouth bass before I break my jerkbait trying to get it free from a tree. If you are bass fishing from the bank this winter or spring, give the jerkbait a try!

I know alot of people don't lime revealing the brand of baits their using, so could you let me know what brand of jerkbait you are using
Keep haulin’ ‘em in, bud.
Awesome looking jerkbait!!! Those bass were very healthy 👌
Hi buddy
One of my favorites lures for early spring
Twitch Prime. Bass are subs.
How do you post videos on YouTube
Send the lure back to the company or sometimes they just want a picture to replace it. I've gotten many lures replaced over the years
My water clarity doesn't allow me to throw many jerk baits. It's always under one ft visibility.
What do you film with ??
Good info,,,, good video. Thumbs up,,,,,,,,,, as usual.
What brand is that jerkbait!!?? I have one and want more but don’t know where to find it. Thanks for the help!!
it is a medium power fast action
My favorite YouTube channel
I get mine in March too. You gotta pay to play, at least real fishermen do. I run into so many guys with no license and it kinda pisses me off. GOOGANS.
👌
Thank you bud, hope i didn't wake you this late. Great video 😎🎣😎🎣
Wonder what brand lure is that?
Maan I watched so much realistic fishing one night I eventually fell asleep watching this one so…..I watched it again. My anecdotal evidence would have said no pauses on a jerk bait, but after today??? That's what I love about your show, you shake me up and make me think🦎👑🐟
fish a weedless fluke Texas rigged but without the bullet weight. during the spring and summer you're gonna slay during the afternoon. and then at dusk tie on a chatter bait and throw it out there. way after dusk you will land that female that didn't want to bite until then
Just picked up a couple of little Rebel jerk baits today at Wally World in the discount bin for $1.88…. if the freakin' wind will ever calm down I might actually get to go fishing….
Try a man's clown shallow one
Good job, ever try a whopper plopper? You should try one when the topwater action heats up.
nice, just caught my first bass this year last weekend. I'll have to try a jerkbait when the weather permits.
o that time of year lol…..congrats on the season opener
Im jealous… gotta wait til ice out in the Northeast. Nice start to a great year… here's wishing a new PB for ya.
I love catching em on the jerkbait. I tried braid with my jerkbait and the string gets wrapped around the rod tip a lot. Ever have that issue? I had to move to florocarbon on my jerkbait rod but I use braid on everything else. The rapala shadow rap is an awesome jerkbait.
Nice job!! The jerkbait is definitely a great weapon in the early season!!!
Can't wait to try my 2 new baitcasters out did not use one for about a year+ . Also finally got that thermometer an it works perfect great tool to know when to start targeting bass.
the first bass of the year was fighting potty good , the 10 to 15 minutes videos are perfect to watch good job on the edit of them alex 💪✌👊
Enjoyed the vid!!
Do you ever fish with swim baits.? If so how would you right them?
nice video mate..channel subscribed
Nice catches! Love your rod and reel. You just keep bringing it! As always, keep em coming.
Do you have your camera high on a chest Mount?
I've been watching your videos for about A couple months now and I realized you don't need to have the most expensive gear to catch fish. Also I'm glad you don't flaunt your gear around. I love this channel!
Congrats and HAPPY NEW YEAR… lol.. 2018 has officially started.
Really encouraging to see someone catching some bass. My water temp is still below 50. I am hoping it starts to warm soon. Good luck out there.
Those fish look nice and healthy. I never have caught anything on a jerk bait. May have to try again.
Well that's a good sign, the bass are starting to move into the shallow areas!! Great technique!!
