The key here is to situate your bait in the brush and let it sit. You may have to make a few attempts to get your bait deep into the sticks, but be patient and keep working your bait. Since I usually fish with a buddy, we start on opposite ends of the brush and work our way in making sure we fish every part of the brush. The most important part is to work all of brush, thus increasing your chances of success.

The two points to remember here are: Fish sticks and fish all of them! Don’t give up because like anything it can take time and patience. But effectively using this method will usually reap great rewards. Keep in mind that it may be illegal to keep that monster bass this time of year so check your local fishing laws beforehand. This is arguably one of the best times of the year to catch huge bass so be diligent and employ smart fishing techniques and you will go home happy.
