When the bass get in the thick stuff Punch Them Out!!! The cooler nights have yielded incredible fishing this week. There are 3 patterns working: Deep ledges as usual,Schooling fish and a Punching bite. We have done 4 guide trips this week and our catch rate was 40 per day with several personal best bass coming in. The punching deal is a ton of fun,produces big ones and requires specialized gear. My setup is: A metanium reel high gear ratio,a 7ft 8 inch heavy rod,65 lb braid and a 1oz weight pegged with a 3/0 heavy duty hook and a beaver style bait. You simply pitch it out, work it for a few seconds,reel it in and repeat. The number of bites you get is surprising and the size is excellent. If you would like to fish with a USCG licensed captain call 256-744-5185.
