I been killing it in Tennessee on a zoom trick worm. Hopping it in and around rock piles has been the ticket the last few days.

Last Thanksgiving I fished a floating worm on Wheeler Lake in north Alabama. There was a cold front coming through and it was rainy and I caught about 20 in less than an hour from the bank, didn’t even need a boat! Probably one of my favorite days of fishing in the last few years.

That's exactly how I do it. I use a 7' medium heavy baitcaster with 14 pound mono. I usually fish it around the edge of lilly pads, grass banks, brush and dead falls in shallow water. In deeper water I slide on a 1/16 -1/8 oz bullet weight.

I went out today after watching some of. your floating worm vids about bubble gum and methiolate. I didn't have any on hand so I improvised with a big bite bait Kamikazee craw which is close to methiolate that I had. I went to a "dirty pond" and within 15 minutes two bass absolutely crushed it. I understand you have put years of experience into videos to help out its very appreciated and generous. I know the feeling of putting years into something and then just handing over all the info just to make it easy for someone else. sorry to be long winded just my long way of saying thank you

Great Information Hank! 👍 I used the trick 🪱 and the 4 inch finesse worms when I first started around the spawn season for bass.i also have a few zeros laying around, and bubble gum trick worms out of elaztec, i knew it floated, but never fished it as a floating worm? I bought them to cut into Ned rigs!. And now im happy I have floating worms again! Thx man!

Floating worms are an easy beginner bait, IMO. They have a lot of forgiveness is how you fish them. In my experience, you can be a bit sloppy on the retrieve and still catch fish. In fact, sometimes the sloppier the better.

@BassGeek

That's true slop can = erratic in this case.

Subbed today. No B.S. I like that. Earlier video said tell you where we're from. I'm from PGH. Expecting pre- spawn, on the beds and so on. These bass haven't gotten there yet. Imo. Water temps just now getting to mid sixties. Have had a brutal time of it. I usually catch them up on the bank in June. Is there that much difference? Two weeks ago it went down to 29°. It's sparse for others also.
