Next time you’re fishing with forward-facing sonar like LiveScope, focus on bluff ends and main lake points. Fish hold in these areas due to habitat like brush piles, stumps, or hard gravel spots. Using sonar helps locate these spots quickly, and jerkbaits are ideal for targeting bass at these waypoints. During summer, work the bait faster to trigger bites. A 12 lb Sunline Sniper fluorocarbon line provides the best depth and action, but consider 16 lb for fishing over grass. Use a 6’8” jerkbait rod for better control and action, especially if you’re around Luke Palmer’s height. Choose bait colors based on water clarity; Pro Blue for clear water and Tennessee Shad for slightly murky conditions. Swimbaits are effective, especially in Texas, and should be matched to local forage. Stick to a quarter, 3/8, or half-ounce weights for shallow water fishing. Use a 7’ Falcon rod with a baitcasting reel, and keep line sizes between 10-15 lb for optimal performance. Always adjust your techniques based on live sonar feedback and fish behavior.
