Deep Laydowns
A pond I frequently fish has steep banks, quickly dropping down to 12-18 ft. A large section of this pond has laydowns due to beaver issues that come out into that deep water. I have yet to find a way to cover water in this situation to find them. The ends of the trees are coming up to 2-3 ft below the surface but in 15+ft of water. Next to impossible to get to the bank due to the number of downed trees, plus its only suitable for a squarebill or spinnerbait for a few feet off shoreline before dropping off. Normally I just have to flip these deep laydowns with a heavy jig which can be time consuming and frustrating when fruitless. Any suggestions on ways to cover this water more efficiently. Thanks
Hi Bob,
I have seen a lot of laydown scenarios over the years. A heavy jig and spinnerbait are excellent choices along with a texas rigged creature bait. Below are some other options that might really help you when the fish won't commit to a power bait presentation. The first link below is to a seminar I give on the tail weighted senko. This is an amazing way to efficiently work the trees in deep water with a finesse approach.
