Catching big bass the easy way

Some tips for catching the biggest bass

During this time of year, there are many ways to catch bass. But there is one pattern that Iuse to catch big bass.

This pattern is fishing boat docks with a jig and pork combo.

Boat docks are man made structures that attract big bass and concentrations of bass in the winter months.

But all docks are not created equal. There are differences and some are better than others.

Older boat docks located along bluff-type banks, steep shorelines, or those adjacent to deep water are the best of all docks.

These older docks in those areas seem to attract more bass because they have more algae build up.

The aquatic plant build-up is one of the links in the food chain, and its presence around docks will attract small bait fish and bluegill.

Also, an older dock has more sunken brush piles, wood, rocks, etc. beneath it.

For fishing those boat docks in these areas, I use a 1/2 ounce rattle jig with a pork trailer in three colors: black-blue jig and a black-blue pork trailer, and a black-brown jig with a black-brown pork trailer.

The jig and pork combos are always sprayed down with jack's Juice Crawfish attractant and the combo is fished on 15 pound to 25 pound Trilene big game fishing line.

Follow these guidelines, and look for these docks in these areas and you'll catch fish.

Good fishing,
