Some November Tactics that Catch Fish Before the month ends I thought I would spend a little time describing some of the various successful tactics that catch bass in November and early December. The key to this period is to remember that the bass are feeding in the extreme shallow water. When you combine shallow water techniques with grass you start to limit the type of fishing presentations that will work effectively in the remaining grass. The first presentation to me is to find grass that has reseeded down from the top of the water 6 to 10 inches; this allows you to pull small short arm spinner baits over the grass. The good thing about short arm spinner baits is the pure fact that the blades do not gather the grass up on the blades nearly as much as a long arm spinner bait do. The flash added with slight deflection off of the grass causes strikes and some really good fish can be caught this way! Next is to find the fish in the middle part of the sunny type days we have in November. This time of day generally moves the bass a little deeper away from the sunlight and it is an ideal time to work rattle baits in 6 to 10 feet of water over short grass. You probably can’t fish anything heavier than ½ oz. but that is all you need to hook up with some good fish. As in the spring that yo-yoing motion will get the strikes so drop it and stop it, just a little quicker so you’re not hanging the grass. A good way not to hang the grass is to use a non stretch line as it will pull through the grass and keep moving. Lastly if you’re a jig fisherman, lay downs, boat houses and rip-rap are just loaded with shallow bass feeding before the winter pushes in. Pitch that jig in and around cover, work the corners and pylons around the boat houses very methodically and you can find a big stringer of fish.

johnbomkamp.jpgMy name is Capt. John Bomkamp and I live in Southwest Wisconsin. I have been fishing all my life, including over 25 years as a tournament bass fisherman, competing in several trails locally, regionally and nationally. I now operate a professional guide service on the Mississippi and Wisconsin Rivers. I specialize in smallmouth and largemouth bass, but also guide for walleyes, northern pike and panfish. Mississippi River Pools 8, 9 and 10 from LaCrosse, WI to Prairie du Chien, WI are the waters I guide on, as well as the lower Wisconsin River. This part of the Wisconsin River is virtually undeveloped, offering some of the most beautiful scenery and fantastic fishing found anywhere in this great country of ours!

I plan on posting regular fishing reports from my area here. If I can be of help providing fishing information or if you have any questions about my guide service, please let me know.

Good fishing!
