When I got back home to Lake Champlain and Lake George, NY I headed straight for the water to give them a try. I caught a limit in the first two hours using these jigging spoons, with one of them a solid 6-pound smallmouth. Since then I always have one rigged up on one of my rods. There are several different tricks you can use when fishing a jigging spoon while fishing suspended fish, bottom fish, structure fish, and in and around vegetation. Suspended Bass Suspended bass are probably the most difficult bass you'll ever fish.
Many anglers use several different methods and lures to fish suspended bass.
But a jigging spoon can prove to be deadly in this situation. Here is how I use a jigging spoon with suspended fish, but keep in mind that every angler seems to develop his or her own little touch, flare, or certain technique that suits him or her with any bait used. When I fish suspended bass, whether it be over tree tops, along bluffs or cliffs, or any structure where suspended bass hang out, I vertically drop the jigging spoon straight down just below the suspended bass and let it pause for a moment. I'll repeat this technique until the rod tip is usually up to a 10 o'clock position. Then, while keeping the slack out of the line, I will slowly drop the tip back close to the water surface and start again.
