The Minimalist Fisherman: In the Field focuses on bass fishing tips and techniques that will help you catch more fish all throughout the Midwest. Everything we write about – we test.
If it’s good – we keep it. If it’s not – we minimize it!
This outing took place the 1st week of June. We caught smallmouth bass using active topwater techniques in the morning, and jigs with different trailers in the early afternoon. The water was slightly murky from recent rain, but the bass hit topwater really, really well!
Tight Lines & Godspeed, Patriots.
