Fishing Jigs on Stumps for Pre Spawn Bass
Fishing the jig is my favorite technique for bass fishing. In this vlog, I am going kayak fishing on a lake where the bass are in all stages of spawning. These largemouth bass are located on stumps that are on spawning flats and points leading into spawning flats. The base of the stamps are full of big roots that the laremouth bass like to spawn in and also hunt for crawfish and bluegill. I'm trying to target the biggest stumps pr the biggeest clusters of stumps to go for big bass. Big bass find a jig very appealing because of the big profile it puts out when the skirt is relaxed. The water temperatures on this lake today were in the mid sixities and it was filmed during a near full moon. I hope these tips and techniques help you catch some big bass in the cold weather, see you on the next fishing adventure!

Thanks for all the commentary about why you were fishing where you were. That helps a lot for someone who is new to fishing.
You're a brave man navigating big open water in a kayak! Keep up the good work! Tight lines!
Dude you were getting bit up!!! That's the frustrating part of fishing in those trees, constant snagging. Love the videos man. Keep em up.

Isaac from our channel knows the feeling haha. But hey its a great way to get bit! If you lose a jig you lose a jig, thats why they make new ones!
I just want to say I like your Videos immensely. Laid back, sneaky funny delivery with great info. Thanks!
I am Jackson Wakeland, a young Angler at 12 years old and you have inspired more and more each day to go for my goal, a professional angler or a charter guide. Your videos are very educational and funny and inspirational like I said earlier in this comment> I have learned so much from these videos that you post. Whats funny is that most of the time when you post like this video i am usually in the first 500 views. I am trying to upgrade my arsenal of one spinning and one bait casting set up, also tackle. My family is all about getting me whats important but fishing is expensive so that limits my tackle options. All in all I just wanted to say keep doing what your doing. PS. Tell ocean spoon girl i said hello.

Hey Jackson, you and me are pretty similar. I am only two years older than you (14), and we have the same interest and goal/dream of become a professional angler. A few tips on upgrading you tackle: - Try and get a neighborhood job like cutting grass or something like that. I did that this past summer, and my tackle and hunting equipment exploded. - Buy the cheaper equipment. I use Abu Garcia Black Max combo (one piece rod) for my baitcasting setup, and it is only $60. (I have bought 5 of these in the past few years and love them. No complaints.) For my spinning set up, I use the Abu Garcia Cardinal Z combo (also a one piece rod), which is only $37. (I have two of these I bought from Walmart last year, and so far they have been great.) - Tight lines and big bass wishes bro!

J Wakeland i went to academy and they had all there rods half price, maybe go check cause there were 5 dollar baitcasting rods, and we also bought reels a couple months ago for 15 dollars
that's what kayak bass fishing is all about. the waves make for some crazy moments, but awesome getting into the timber
I love watching Rob and everyone else but Justin man you are the goat of the KZread fishing community. Awesome videos with great explanations on how the fish are caught. I look up to you my friend. Keep it up.
You're an absolute trooper for pulling that off on such a big lake. Thanks for the video as always.
Love these kayak videos! Maybe bc I'm a kayak bass fisherman, had never fished off a boat but love seeing kayak fishing video 👍🏻
Gotta appreciate the effort. Kayak fishing isn't the easiest way, but its worth it and definitely rewarding. Sweet hobie also!
I like the kayak video for sure. I fish from one only and like to see someone who fished as well as you fish and catch from a yak. Thanks for the video. Now I am pumped.
Absolutely love this video! Most of us can't afford a bass boat so this shows the struggle we go through every day. Keep up the good work!
awesome video and looks like a good day. you know you love to fish when you take a kayak that far out.
Make a jig fishing video, could use an updated one from your old one, rod reel line jig trailer please!!

He uses Loomis Rods, Shimano Reels, and I'm pretty sure Lake Fork Plastics. He's mentioned before he likes to use 20lb-25 fluorocarbon
Ive been kayak fishing for 12 yrs..i always wear my pfd..i flipped one time when i first started yakking and it saved my life..wear it..we want you to be around for more vids
Great come back dude awesome to see you back at it
Probably my favorite video by you yet! Love jig fishing.
Awesome video! Reminds me of the old kayak adventures with Craig!
Super awesome video LFG gives me more confidence in fishing standing timber!!!
I could watch these kinds of videos all day, I like the relaxed feeling and just one on one not to much yelling and playing around with to many people. I mean those vids are good in moderation but I prefer mostly these.
That truly was an enjoyable video. Something for the budget fisher person on a budget.
Definitely liking the hat cam. You can see the pace in which u reel and it helps to know what pace to fish each bait! And the struggle of manning a kayak by yourself lol.
Great video Justin. I've never fished off a kayak, might have to try this year. thanks for the good content. tightlines!!
Dream kayak right there and I'm hoping to get my first bait caster. Have always used spinning but want to try something new. Always enjoyable to watch your channel really good content Jimmy from Massachusetts. Have a good day and stay safe
Enjoying your videos! I'll be catching myself a big ole bass this summer!
Thanks for blessing us with this video!
i am so glad you did this video i have been out almost everyday and didn't catch anything now i now where to go. around the trees thanks
LFG- you are an awesome guy and a great fisherman! I love how much you take the time to teach your fellow fishing freaks and have learned a lot watching your channel. It hurt watching you lose those fish in the beginning! I know you don't like braid but when you are in a kayak you should try mainline braid with a flouro leader or at least beef up your rod to power that hook home. I'm sure you know this but I just wanted to share, since you have taught me so much. I swear by braided mainlines and/or by beefing up by flouro mainline a few lbs when canoe/kayak fishing. Great video either way! Thanks for everything!
I want that HAT luv the vids good job man I am a 60 hr a week worker husband and dad of 4 so I live vicariously through u and ur vids keep it up man and good luck
awesome video . throughly enjoyed it..especially the battle getting that yack back in the truck and the water bottle victory spike...I smell my fish also, even if my brother thinks it's gross...one of your best yet!!..tight lines bro
Awesome yak vid man! Fired me up to get mine out this weekend, thinking o.h. ivie.. Have a good weekend dude!
That was intense! You caught em good! I really like your transitions, in your editing really cool! Haven't seen any like that before! Thanks for sharing!
Can't wait until it warms up in WV. Keep the videos coming.
Love the dedication man grinding it out for us. love your vids ain't nothing like the jig bite
I really enjoyed this video!!! I watched it twice.
LFG That wave analogy was so awesomely amazing, I laughed so hard😂😭
Man it's got to feel good to hammer them in front of those bass boats from a kayak! Maybe my favorite video of any channel I follow! Jig fishing is an addiction in itself! Nicely done!
you are a beast padding all over the lake like that! awesome video!
This is my favorite fishing channel. Keep it up!
I'm so getting me a kayak. That is awesome. Also I like the head cam
LFG love your content man. keep em coming.
I fished this lake last week the same thing was going on. (Go figure because I learn all my tactics from you lol) but talked to a local and he said when the full moon hits the big bite should be on. Great vid as always 👍👍
Excellent video I love when you do video from a kayak I have a HOBIE PA too so it helps me out a whole lot... Thanks again
I don't always set the hook on a tree, but when I do I reel like hell and hope no one notices lol

Great video sir. Thank you for keepin it real.
I'm up in Northern NY ice fishing whenever I get the chance. So it's ridiculous just to hear you mention a "Post Spawn" bass. I'm ready for some warm weather and open water! Tight lines, brother!
Was just out on this lake yesterday. Wish I would have seen this first! Looks like we hit a lot of the same spots you did though. Actually had a ton of luck on a spinnerbait around the stumps and bringing it real slow. Hopefully I can get a video of it posted soon. Great vid!
One of my favorite vids!! I don't know why? It was just chill and landing bass!! Super good!!
great video!! love seeing you catch the big mama's!! :) Kayak fishing is awesome! :)
I think this is my favorite video you’ve posted to this day, Justin.
I'm a kayak fisherman so this video was really nice. Like!
Really digging your show man!
Great video. Always good to see you bust out the kayak.
great video love seeing the jig fish, can't wait till the water hits 65° for the spawn out here in delaware
nice going to kayak soon myself hopefully ..love jig fishing 👍🎣🎣
Justin, I have not watched one of your videos that I have not "liked" yet. TODAY, "ONE OF THOSE SLUMPS LATELY WHERE I HAVE NOT CAUGHT ANY GOOD FISH." You have no boat, only a kayak. But I don't have one of them. Welcome to my world, and probably quiet a few other Fish'in Freaks out there. You made do with what you have. Pretty good job of it dude. I liked the new cam look. Shows "Me" more of what you are seeing. Tight Lines Dude!!!
Love the kayak vids! You should do more.
solid video, love the kayak fishing
Liking the kayak trips!! Like to see more!!
Love the jig bite thanks for Your perspective.
nothing like fishing a jig in a kayak great video 🖒🖒

Great video Justin!
