Bank fishing in the Korean cold

[Bassinkorea]

I was planning on taking my boat out all day Sunday, but a cold front was forecast so I cancelled. Instead, I went shore fishing on Saturday instead. I wanted to see if the bass really would feed up heavily the day before a cold front (like they are supposed to). I guess the bass don't read the same books and internet articles as me, because there was no feeding frenzy, lol.

The good news is I did managed to catch a few bass, no monsters, but they were a decent size for the places I fished. I fished at 2 small lakes and started at late morning and called it a day just before the sun went down. It was sunny most of the day, but a small rain shower came through at one point.

I took nothing but SureCatch lures with me today, most of them I have not used yet.

First bass was caught on a SureCatch Pinto jerkbait. A shallow floating hard jerkbait. I fished this parallel to the dam wall and caught this.



The second and third fish (plus another missed bite) came on a rig I have been having no luck with at all this year....a drop shot rig. I used to have good luck with this rig, but for whatever reason I have not had a single fish on a drop shot all this year. I used a  full SureCatch rig, an EZ Sinker below a #2 dropshot hook rigged with a brown CoCo worm. I cast this rig out and very slowly retrieved it with as little action as possible. The bites all came when the rig was perfectly still.

Steve,

Thanks for sharing the catch and pictures with us.
Has it started snowing over there yet?

I think there has been some of that white stuff up North, but we get almost no snow at all down this way
