These Two Baits Were All They Wanted

I thought the fish would be eating a frog all day...but the bass had other ideas. In this Chowan River bass fishing trip, I break down how I adjusted throughout the day to figure out exactly what the fish wanted. After experimenting with several presentations, the pattern started to become clear, and both the Rapala Crush City Bronco Bug and Rapala Crush City Clean Up Craw played a major role in putting fish in the boat. I share where the fish were positioned, how I approached the cover, and why certain presentations produced more bites than others. The Chowan River is one of the best bass fisheries connected to the Albemarle Sound, and it can be a challenging place to pattern fish during the post-spawn period. In this video, you'll see how I targeted bass around channel swings, wood cover, pads, and shoreline structure while adapting to changing conditions throughout the day. If you enjoy bass fishing, river fishing, North Carolina bass fishing, or learning how to identify productive patterns, this video should give you some ideas for your next trip. I also share a simple trick for making soft plastics last longer. If you've ever gone through a pile of Bronco Bugs or Clean Up Craws in a single day, this tip can save you money and keep you fishing longer.
