GET THE GEAR YOU NEED FOR OFFSHORE CRANKBAITS

Why do bass move to deep water? Bass typically move to deep water to follow the baitfish and higher oxygen levels that are typical in the cooler offshore waters.   


When offshore, look for steep ledges, humps, points or even the remnants of old creek and road beds. Bass prefer to relate to any sort of structure that attracts what they need - food. Once fish are located, typically in large schools this time of the year, it’s time to get fishing.

One of the best techniques to capitalize on the large schools is a deep crankbait like the Berkley Dredger.

 

Crankbaits can trigger a feeding frenzy, allowing you to hook up cast after cast.
