Overcast skies + crystal-clear shallow water = perfect conditions to run a swim jig right up against wood cover!
First trip of the year on this lake, and the cloudy conditions let me get away with fishing SUPER shallow laydowns and stumps that are normally too spooky on sunny days.
In this on-the-water session:
• Why cloud cover is key for clear-water shallow bite
• Pinpoint casting a 5/16 oz swim jig around isolated wood
• Simple setup: medium-action rod, 40 lb braid, minnow trailer, 7.1 reel
• Using Raptors to stay locked in position for follow-up casts
• Watching bass chase and crush the jig in inches of water
Quick tip: When the sun hides, get aggressive up shallow!
