How to Fish Crankbaits for Bass in Grass Lakes

Consistently finding bass in grass lakes is one of bass fishing's biggest challenges. It's analogous to locating and patterning deer in open prairie versus the big woods - seemingly endless habitat from the shallows to mid-depths mean bass can be anywhere. At the same time, fish finders struggle to reveal their presence. For Jacob Wheeler, a crankbait is the best tool for finding offshore grass bass, as it allows him to quickly comb expanses of water while having the same deadly triggering characteristics as in hard-bottom lakes.

FEATURED TACKLE

In this video, Wheeler quickly locates a mega school of ravenous bass using a mid-depth crankbait and takes the opportunity to breakdown a pattern many are missing. The trick is to use fish finders to define the grass bed and identify areas of change such as pockets, points, or where grass goes from thick to thin. Once you find fish, Wheeler explains how to milk the school using Spot-Lock in conjunction with waypoints and shoreline features to stay lined up on your casts and make lineup adjustments as the school relocates.

Dude, I’ve never watched anybody make an “how to video” and catch as many fish as Wheeler just did... this is why he’s the young 🐐

[westtexasconstruction]

Dang brother, you cant hardly finish a sentence without catching 1, I finish paragraphs, hours, days, weeks sometimes

[BassGeek]

As many as he's caught and for some big prizes he still has that much fun. That's a passion for it.

[Ashroyer]

You're a young Roland. Maybe with a skin condition? What's with the gloves.

[brettg]

I’d be happy to catch that many in a day🎣

[jdub.]

i started bass fishing 2 years ago cant believe what i been missing out on . By far Gerald Swindle, Jacob Wheeler are my favorite fishers!🐐

[aarondixon]

It’s relieving to see somebody geek out like I do. I don’t have any buddies that get giddy like I do just by catching a fish.

[MurkyWaterCentral]

I could throw a crankbait in a swimming pool and hang it up😂

[jeffreyrodgers]

Shish with the offshore stuff brah. Keep the bank beaters on the bank.

[guywithagoprofishingshow]

Even though Wheeler is annoying with the way he says "grass" or "action"(very sk8board Cali guy talk)the boy CAN FISH...was that a Spro he was throwing?

[SumFishy]

Just did a video fishing a grass line for stripers. If you hit it right, you'll pull tons from the sweet spot. I creep on outside grass lines...or semi-burn it up top to get them to jump up in ambush.

I just rigged up to fish a grass lake tomorrow and i just had punch rig, senko, and frog tied on...
This video made me go grab another rod and tie on a crank 😂

[jamesporter]

Got grass in my river (Colorado river in BHC Arizona). I bank fish (poor, no boat) ...this video helps

[mattalan]

So Wheeler is with 13 fishing, Rapala, and Googan? Must be good to be the king 👑. That’s a lot of hardbait sponsors to choose from lol

[NellysfishingAdventures]

Great video!! Jacob is such a beast, thanx for sharing!

[localbassfisherman]

Why did you guys make the 12ft unavailable in that color?

[badmoonrising]

What does the back of the head incapacitate them i see alot of this lately im a older cat ive been rough thumbing them for years

[gbrdwkz]

Always an interesting video from Wired2Fisf.
I love American bass fishing.

[rodneygreen]

When you loose fish, it's time to Sharpen the Hooks.
Thanks Again for the Video.
