River Fishing for Early Spring Smallmouth Bass with Ned Rigs
Channel: Andrew Buss
Date: 2021-03-19

Fishing for smallmouth bass during the early spring can be a difficult task; however, this video, filmed in March, shows how to catch smallmouth bass from the St. Joe River with water temperature still in the 40s. 

The key was moving the bass boat frequently to different areas and using the Humminbird and Garmin electronics to locate them. Then it was a matter of determining which lures they wanted to eat. We caught some smallmouth bass on blade baits and rattle traps, but the Ned Rig caught over two dozen.
