Lukefish99 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I have fished jordan harbour quite a bit for cats but now i would like to get some bass. I am thinking of working the lily pads and grass from my kayak with a Weedless frog and then working the edges with a spinnerbait or crankbait of some sort. Am I on the right track? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Seems like those tactics will work. My favorite way to fish bass is top water poppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbocco Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I’ve never found bass in the harbour. It makes sense and I’ve done the same on those pads but haven’t had bass luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
мормышка Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 They are in there, just have to be in the right area. Not all pads produce, some will. Finding deeper water by cover is best. Sometime right into heavy cover. It will be trial an error and a lot of time on water to find the consistent good areas. When you catch your bass you have to ask "why in that spot?". The rest will fall into place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steellee Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Most of my bass fishing is throwing frogs in the pads and I find the best pad fishing for me is at night. During the heat of summer bass will hole up and stay deeper by day. At night they move in to the shallows and constantly cruise the highways underneath the pads. Also the majority of frogs seem to be far more active at night hours which bass know to expect. I plan to be out this opener trying myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of shad and carp splashing around in the shallow don't confuse with bass. Bass are more intentional when they chase or attack something. But I would still cast there if not sure. Never know.

Ya. Not as heavy as some but like 30lb braid on baitcaster. First thing they usually do on hookset is try to hang you up in the thick stuff. A high gear ratio reel helps too. I'm mostly a river guy but in summer months its my hands down favourite way to fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
