How to fish RIPRAP! Fishing around man-made placed rocks VIDEO

Post by WB Staff »

In this video, I wanted to talk about one of the best structures to fish on year-round.....RipRap!

On this topic, there’s a few common questions:
+ How to fish around riprap
+ How to fish around rocks
+ How to fish around bridges
+ How to fish around a dam

Some of my teaching points in this video:

0:25
The Definition of RipRap: Man-made placed rock to prevent erosion

2:00
Isolated/elevated rocks are a great ambush point for a bass

3:08
Change your speed

3:50
Bass are moving up and down the riprap all the time - They’re not on one spot

4:52
There’s always going to be a direction that’s better than the other (It has to do with current)

5:11
They’re going to be facing up-current

6:21
As the day changes, the fish will change depth

7:27
Water color will dictate what baits you should use

8:21
With the spinner bait, the angle is very critical

10:45
Change your retrieve

12:23
Indentation:
A spot where bass can get out of the current

12:40
Where the rocks END is just like a highway to a bass

In this video, I hope to give you some pointers on how to catch 'em better all around RipRap!
