tailgate fishing rod holder Trailer Hitch Fish - Lakes Truck Bed Fishing Rod Holder

The custom 30-degree Gamakatsu sickle hook this jig is adorned with always seems to keep the bass hooked up throughout the fight

Barb: The barb of the hook is a backwards-point notch in the hook that provides a secure hold on the fish, but causes damage when removed

One loop over the handle facing forward and the other over the rod holder, securing the cooler to the kayak but allowing me to easily open the lid of the cooler to put fish in

Its also a good idea to target the fronts of docks, as the fry-guarding bass will often hide in the shadows waiting to attack potential predators

This time of year, you're looking for gravel and rock flats in about 3 to 10 feet of water

You can run small crankbaits through them
