December Bassin' Fishing Report

5 Rating based on 12 Reviews

Since the calender hit December, I've been trying to get my first December bass, and have been failing miserably (but have been bagging trout on jerkbaits and cranks like mad). I headed out on my kayak around 12:30 today, barely 38°, to Paradise Lake. Fall/late summer, this place is the type you catch like 15-20 fish in an hour, but only 1.5-2lbers, I have yet to catch any bigger myself. I started throwing a jerkbait for around 35 minutes to no avail so I decided to switch to a squarebill (lake is only 10 feet at the deepest but water levels are down so prob 8 at the moment). I was just bored and ripping the squarebill as fast as I could, pausing for 3 seconds and repeating. Finally caught a 12 ounce little dinker. Few more casts, couple tiny perch. And then I got the best of the day, 1lb3 ounce. I know it's not a giant, but I am just happy to finally catch some December bass. I ended up with 5 total, 4 on the squarebill and one on a BHB jig. Tomorrow to try somewhere else, cause I am bored.

  • try letting the jerkbait pause a little long and very up the times you let it sit to find out how lazy they are gonna be.

  • Got my 1st December bass the other day also. Was getting a little nervous. Got my Jan. bass on the 2nd in open water! Hope it stays open this year also!
