Dead-Sticking Bass
By Steve vonBrandt


When
the weather is nasty, be it in the early spring or late fall, many
anglers miss out on some of the best bass fishing of the year. When
their boats are in the garage, and their gear is stored away, other
anglers in the know, cash in on some of the best fishing of the year
using some special techniques. One of the most effective ways to catch
big bass in colder water, is a technique known as “Dead-Sticking.” The
anglers who can brave the elements and employ these techniques, catch
some of the largest bass of the year.

becoming the way to bigger and better bags on many of the tournament
trails.

Budweiser ShareLunkers Reach Dozen Mark – Lake Mohave

ATHENS, Texas — Anglers contributed two lunker largemouth bass to the Budweiser ShareLunker program over the weekend, bringing the number of fish entered into the program this season to 12.

Mark LeBlanc of Orange caught a 13.59-pound bass from Sam Rayburn Reservoir about 10:00 a.m. Saturday. Roger Frazier, Jr., of The Colony took a 13.9-pounder from Ray Roberts Lake the next day.

Le Blanc was fishing in 5 feet of water with a Senko plastic bait in a watermelon red/green flake pattern. His fish measured 25.5 inches long and 21 inches around.

Frazier’s fish hit a fluke in two feet of water in the north end of Ray Roberts. The fish was 25.5 inches long and 20.75 in girth. Both fish showed light to moderate hemorrhaging of the fins and appeared to have spawned.

The Le Blanc fish was the first ShareLunker caught from Sam Rayburn since 2002 and only the third since 1998. That lake has contributed a total of 21 fish to the Budweiser ShareLunker program. Frazier’s fish was the first ShareLunker taken from Ray Roberts since 2000 and only the fourth in that lake’s history. – Lake Mohave
