February Sand Hollow Best Baits

A lot of people struggle on sand hollow in the cold month of February because the water temperatures are still really low. Cold water makes the bass not as aggressive. However, you can use these baits to get more bites than you ever have before at this time of year. The following techniques really help trigger bites when nothing else will.

The Spro Phat fly flat out catches them in the cold water. I’ve yet to find anything better. The key is to set it up right on a float n fly rig. Make sure you get your leader at least 20 – 25 feet to be able to get the fly down in front of the bass. Another key to get bit is to shake the bobber to give your fly a quivering action. The shaking action is going to get a bass to eat when they normally don’t want to.

Also, you will miss a lot of fish if you try setting the hook. You need to reel as fast as you can when your bobber goes down to be able to get the hook up into their mouths. Setting the hook will do you no good because of the amount of slack required to dangle the fly properly with this technique.

The Cool baits underspin is a solid way to get bites in February. There is something magic about blades in cold water that trigger bass to bite. Pair this finesse underspin up with a small swimbait like a keitech easy shiner, and you will be in business. Also, this bait can be successful on small flukes without paddle tails. Sometimes less is more in cold water.

They key to fishing these blades successfully is keeping them deep. The bass in February rarely move above the 25 foot mark. Keep it slow and steady maintaining contact with the bottom. Sometimes a yo-yo style retrieve can be a good way to get bites.
