Cold Water Jig Trick When Bass Won't Bite!
Some days the fish don't want to cooperate, that's when this trick works! With snow and freezing rain coming, Tim couldn't get bit on any of his power fishing techniques. He dropped down to a jig and they wouldn't eat that either! When he made a subtle switch to a cold water trick that is often forgotten, the fish started coming in the boat!
The Hula Grub is a bait that most anglers have forgotten. Its a highland reservoir secret when bass don't want to bite but it can work on any lake in the country. Something about its subtle kicking action triggers cold water fish into biting. If you're struggling to get bit on the jig, even a finesse jig, you should give a Hula Grub a try. Its an inexpensive alternative to jig fishing and it gets bit all Winter long!
