Catching Post Spawn and Pre Spawn Bass on the Chesapeake Bay!

Catching Post Spawn and Pre Spawn Bass on the Chesapeake Bay!

In this video I head out to the Chesapeake Bay out of North East Maryland in search of a 20 Lb bag. My goal when I bass fish the Chesapeake Bay is to always get a 20 lb bag of five bass in total weight. This is a great goal and is a number that normally requires hitting if you want to place high in local tournaments on the Chesapeake Bay.

After coming off of a few good past fishing trips together Eric and I team up once again to try and put the Chesapeake Bay puzzle together. We started fishing in some spawning bays and marinas but with the water being at dead low tide first thing in the morning we had problems getting the right bites. We also went out to the Susquehanna Flats to explore some new areas out there. The Susquehanna Flats are a massive area of shallow grass that goes for miles and miles. A lot of largemouth bass live on the flats year round and at times the Susquehanna Flats can really get good. Today the water was a bit dirty from the recent rain and the grass didn't look that good to me. After a few hours of poking around trying a few different baits we left.

We decided to head back to the areas we caught them a few weeks back so we started to cast crankbaits, jigs and soft plastics around. The bite was not as good as we had hoped but we still managed to get a good limit of bass and ended up with 23 pounds for the day.

Please leave any comments below and let me know what are some of your favorite baits to use during the spawn or right after the spawn?

Who is SmallmouthCrush?

Travis Manson was born and raised where the giant Smallmouth Bass of the north live...WISCONSIN. He started fishing from the bank as at a young age and spent most of his childhood with a rod in his hand. Travis is primarily a self-taught angler that is always learning and experiencing this amazing sport of fishing. He started out fishing for walleyes and fishing in local walleye tournaments, but then in his mid 20's, he caught the BASS BUG and has been hooked every since. He competed at the highest level in bass fishing on the Bassmaster Elite series for a number of years, until he ran out of $$ money $$. This led to a move across the country to the Northeast where he got things right again and is back on track, but now on his own terms. Perhaps he will make another run at the Elite Series if the opportunity allows. In the meantime, he is a fishing guide offering trips on the Chesapeake Bay for largemouth bass(year round), guided trips for smallmouth back in Wisconsin (during select times) and trophy smallmouth bass guided trips in Upstate New York (May-November) His Youtube Channel is named after his passion for the smallmouth bass and will be used as a platform for "how-to" videos, on the water instruction, crazy on and off the water topics and vlogs on the day in the life of a fishing addict! Hope you enjoy!
