Casey Ashely Herring video
Great video!! I fish a herring lake in GA/S/C (clarkshill). I’d like to know why most traditional shad baits imitators that Casey talks about( spinnerbaits, jerkbaits) wont work for bass feeding on herring. Is it about the speed of the bait retrieve? Why is topwater the deal most of the summer? Do herring bait ball up toward the surface more than thread fin shad in the warmer months? I just am not sure why herring lakes fish so differently than shad only lakes? Thanks,Robert
This is a great question and one we are very interested in too. We recently had Brandon Cobb on Bass U live to discuss Herring. Copy and paste this link. https://bassu.tv/bass-fishing-video/blueback-herring-spawn-brandon-cobb-live.
My experience has been that herring move off shore in the upper part of the water column. A little different than shad which ten to move deep during the day. It makes it hard to bass down. Topwater and swim baits have been my best weapons.
