Many bass anglers focus on deep water during the post-spawn. It's a time-tested approach that seems to work every year as bass migrate to offshore areas and deeper depth zones.

BULLFLAT


As it falls on a Texas-Rig or on the bait of a jig, it creates a unique spiraling action that looks just like a bluegill. When fished on a Free Rig, with the weight fixed and the bait moving freely, the action will be tighter as the bait falls.

Big Bass History:

It was on this day in 1973 that Dave Zimmerlee weighed in this Giant 20.94 pound bass at Lake Marimar in California. This catch was very controversial because there were several other anglers who claim that they had seen the dying bass floundering on the surface prior to Zimmerlee claiming the catch. Zimmerlee always maintained his story that he caught the historical bass on a red worm fished on a Zebco - after seeing the fish causing a commotion on the surface. The catch has never been confirmed or denied beyond the shadow of a doubt, But one thing is for sure...That fish was swimming in Marimar! It is forever a part of Big Bass History.

Here is a great podcast on Zimmerlee's controversial catch if you would like to hear more details :
