@FishboiFishboi .....it works best in the fall all the way to ice up. I tossed the jig/worm this weekend and hooked some nice fish. Biggest was 4.2lbs. Water was 42-43 degrees and some of the shallow calm bays were iced over.
man.. you needa hook me up.. lol anyways I do alot of shore fishing and the lakes around where i fish are mainly spawning grounds. I was wondering how would i fish with the jig and worm if Im from shore??? does it depend on depth? like fishing from the dock where it hits 10'
@FishboiFishboi ...I usually work the jig on reed/coontail edges in about 8' of water. If you can hit deeper water from shore you should be fine. If your casting from a dock work the jig/worm on the outside weed edge.
@FishboiFishboi....depends on the water clarity and cover for your line selection. I use 20-30lb PowerPro on 90% of my baitcasters but I don't fish ultra clear lakes very often. I like Shimano rods....mostly the Shimano Clarus. They have an over the counter, no questions asked, lifetime warranty. They typically run $60-$70. I would suggest a 7' Medium or 7' Medium Heavy rod.
Looks like fun... I haven't seen many guys use a big worm on a jig like that. What kind of jig were you using? looked like a arkie style almost, and a ten inch worm on it...? I have been using mostly 4-5 inch grubs on my jigs with good success. I think I need to move a few hours north.
Nice fall largie fishing! I have to get out and get me some of that action. It's great to be on the water when everyone else has their boat in storage, gotta love fall fishing in MN!
@mnflyfishing....right on. No better time then the fall! The bite was a bit slower this weekend. I think the lakes are starting to turn over. Water was 54-55 degrees.
Lots of really pretty bass; seemed fairly shallow? I'm going to have to try that jig/worm thing (never did it before) Great day; looks like you had a great time.
@Winkiedoodles....the first part of the video the fish were holding in 2' down to about 8'. Later in the vid most of the fish came in less than 6' of water. Water temp was 53-56 degrees. Hit'n the water tomorrow morning for some more fall LM! High of only 47 degrees though.....
23 in the morning already for you guys?? That doesn't seem like y'all have too much more time before ice. The high is down 20 degrees from last week here in Alabama and the highs are low to mid 70s, lows are starting to drop into the 50s.
did you have a trailer on?

@scottmcwallflower....Yea 3/8 to 1/2oz arky head with a 10" Power Worm. I usually trim the power worm down to about 8"-9". It's a great fall bait!

@CoosaSpots... It was the coldest morning we have had this fall. In a month and a half the lakes will start freezing over.
