Title: Hook n' Look Splash #16 - Smallmouth Bass Positioning on Steep Ledges
Post by: DannyStricker on March 06, 2013, 10:42:45 AM
On Hook n' Look Splash #16 Kim and 1000 Island's area fishing guide Dean Meckes prospect deep river ledges and discover St. Lawrence River golden smallmouths. Kim and son Danny then descend to the depths and uncover the bass' positioning along the sheer drops. A Strike King Rage Tail Grub is the featured lure.

Preview the video at http://www.hooknlook.com/hook-n-look-splash-16-smallmouth-bass-on-steep-ledges/ (http://www.hooknlook.com/hook-n-look-splash-16-smallmouth-bass-on-steep-ledges/)

Utilizing Humminbird's Side-Imaging technology we were able to survey the deep ledges that held smallmouth bass. It wasn't until we dove in and realized how the bass travel the very edge of the ledge, but when feeding the bass would swim straight down the sheer cliff to chase the bait.

One of my mentors was telling me of this phenomena several years ago.  I sent him a link to the trailer as soon as I saw it. 
"Yep, that's what I was talkin' about" was what he said after he saw it. 
As always it's really nice to see from below the surface what we experience above it.
Looking forward to seeing Kim at Wonderland in a few weeks.
