My Favorite Post-Spawn Lure | Bass Fishing Strategies

When bass get into their post-spawn patterns, I always have one bait on the deck of the boat! I’ve caught more 3+ pound bass between May and June on the lure in this video than another other bait in my tackle box. Check out the video to see what it is and why it’s so effective!

Oh my god. In addition to the excellent content, an unintended consequence of this video was planting the most unforgettable music jingle in my head that has been with me for two days now....I cannot shake it and I whistle it and hum it constantly. I get puzzled looks from people because of it. Haha. Not sure whether to say thanks for that or not. Maybe I need to play it on my car stereo as an MP3....

[@claytonjohnson9418]

You release some of the best fishing content on KZbin. I just started watching your videos and like how detailed you are. I really like how you use the topo maps, and explain where the fish are related on your lake. Keep up the good work!!

[@BankFishVince]

Awesome video!!! You break down the tactics and choice of spots better than some of the pros. The information is very helpful thank you 🙏🏾

[@jmwalls73]

Great to see you back, Jonny...Big congratulations on completing your graduate education and on getting back on the water with style, although it's tough to watch a 4 lber swim away after taking a jig head to the nads! Fun and informative as always.

[@skeebmoney7544]

Congrats on graduating. Hope you post consistently, learn a ton watching these vids! Great job.

[@WheelmansOutdoorChannel]

Congrats on graduating and I’m really happy to see you back on the water providing awesome content! Tight lines...

[@chamilton9182]

I've seen a few of your videos. Fantastic! Very educational. Your optimism and joy in catching a fish, regardless of size, make me think of Shaw Grigsby. You guys should fish together. I hope to see you on MLF one day. Great vid. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.

[@FishtheMoment]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! I actually filmed an episode of One More Cast with Shaw when I was 10 years old! He’s a great guy!

[@Bianca2228]

By far my favorite channel now.

[@MrFFP123]

Love the channel! This the type of instructional stuff I miss about KZbin. So glad I found it!!! Keep it going!!! PLEASE

[@FishtheMoment]

Will do! Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoy, Gregg.

[@jeremiahgiles3593]

This guy knows what he's doing!

[@OldLadyAngler]

Congrats on graduating! That's a great accomplishment!! Welcome back. Loved the video!

[@justisfrazey9050]

I am very proud to have the first comment. I have worked very hard to get here. If you work hard enough, you can get here too.

[@ryanjohnson1480]

Justis Frazey I was eating dinner! Or I'd be here!

[@mike-gc4gz]

I started fishing flukes with a Owner 4/0 cover shot straight shank hook with 8lb. Line on a medium spinning rod with the hook rigged up side down and the point exposed which increased my hook up ratio and it is not as weed less but I don’t have much problems with weeds.

[@FISHINandJUNK]

Congrats on graduating. Nice video, very well put together.

[@fishinginthecity2375]

Congratulations !!!........Glad to see ur back at the videos! Love all the good info! Thank You

[@fishingdaily4692]

Lots of good info off this channel. I finally figured out how to use my electronics lol

[@jbjgibbons]

Agree. I kill’em on the KVD caffeine shad too. But has to be right time of year! I like smallmouth magic color.

[@TheMurphycrew2]

Some of the best information out there..... Awesome video, with such awesome positive energy

[@Greenfshrmn]

Another excellent video. I learn something new every time I watch your stuff...ok, time to go buy a few packs of Caffeine Shad!

[@FishtheMoment]

Thank you! I'm glad they're helpful!

[@rogerscheuermann4409]

Great video, keep bringing them. I always learn something from you. You have lots of knowledge and you prove that your Good

[@KevinCurryRacing]

thank you buddy with you videos! your really good at explaining how to fish bass

[@Tader6977]

Congratulations Johnny. And sorry about the shot to the junk

[@zachshott7833]

Glad to see you uploaded. It's been awhile. Still hoping you'll do some of the elite series

[@ericmoralesfishing]

Skip at 15:19 was dope!

[@tallen316]

Awesome video man! Nice explanation and visuals! Subbed and notifications on!

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed!!!

[@jeffw3776]

Great vids as we move into post spawn on the Sacramento Delta. It’s a lot different up here than your locked water

[@jameshallfishing3377]

Time to get spot lock on that trolling motor. Enjoyed the video.

[@bassmatters9849]

Congrats on finishing grad school and welcome back! I was wondering if you were going to make any more awesome video's and here you are. So what's the future looking like for this channel and your career path?

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks! I just started a new job and I'll be making KZbin videos in my spare time for the foreseeable future

[@bassmatters9849]

Fish the Moment Just throwing this out there man. I could really see you doing well as a professional bass fisherman, you have charisma in front of the camera and your fishing skills are on point. Sponsors would grab you up quick. If it's your dream go for it don't wait until your old like me and have regrets. A job is good I have a job, but a career is something you love. Just saying.

[@anothersomebody8195]

I'm starting my forth job since graduating and hoping this will be the career one I'd definitely watch you, but maybe avoid the box tv since everyone's watching Netflix and prime these days. Prime seems to be good for fishing shows, but they are all old. It might be time one of these to step up their game :-)

[@TDub-vg2wj]

Hey Man, great vids and congratulations on getting your Masters Degree. Idea about fish management: I have started using a scale that has memory and will hold weights and calculate total weight so that I can weigh and record (the scale saves the weights) each fish (up to 8 fish) at the moment I catch them (like MLF). No need to hold them in the live well. The scale will total the weight for the best five (by deleting the smallest when you cull). This allows me to reduce the chance of over stressing (or killing) the fish, because I can return them back to their customary water immediately, and I still have the weights at the end of the day. This actually makes my day less stressful, too.

[@FishtheMoment]

Tony West thanks for the advise! I’ll look into getting one. After this trip, I started weighing each fish as I caught them and releasing them right away. I’m still adding up their weight in my head throughout the day, that scale should help!

[@TDub-vg2wj]

Well, you are young and smart so you can remember all of that, but I am old and dumb so I need an electronic helper. My Rapala scale is a big help for me and the fish and easy to view in the sun. Highly recommended.

[@dennishodson990]

Great way to record and release the fragile resource we have now. No need to take chances depending on live wells and chemicals to keep bass alive for viewing by others for a brief moment. Please use your U TUBE shows to explain to our young sportsmen the importance of this. It has a long time for us long timers to realize that we are enjoying a sport that depends on the health of species. Way too many bass dying just to hold for weigh-in and photo shots hours after being caught. Just imagine how the numbers and sizes would increase with immediate release.

[@PKClark-qw5oq]

Once again, great job!

[@1carym1]

another awesome job Johnny.

[@BassandFurious]

Love your vids! Thanks again for another great tip. Can you do a video on how to effectively fish shallow grass with electronics?

[@FishtheMoment]

Bassand Furious glad you enjoyed! By shallow grass, do you mean bank grass that sticks out of the water like in this video or submerged shallow grass? Here’s a video I made last year that shows how I use side scan to find bass on shallow grass flats. Let me know if this is what you’re looking for: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4GXiGaha82Alas

[@Timmerman0602]

As always, top notch on the video!! That second fish you weighed though... RIP

[@robertfrancola8887]

Great videos. Keep them coming.

[@dannyshelton1952]

Great post and good fish!

[@karenhick7]

About time love your videos and you too!!!

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks as always!

[@xaiyang8668]

I find I lose fish using wide gap on fluke style fishing too. I actually get better hookup ratio using an offset worm hook instead and if you know there isn't much weeds, I don't bother burying the hook into the bait.

[@wgooetrik]

Good fishin. You are a funny dude 🤣

[@fiveforfishing2366]

I'd say that was a good day considering you hadn't been out in a while. 👍🏼

[@kenrodman7620]

Thanks for the information

[@godsdozer]

welcome back !

[@FishtheMoment]

Good to be back!

[@lukespivey9932]

Miss seeing your videos. Looking forward to more. I haven’t thrown the caffeine shad yet. I have tried a couple other smaller flukes that I can’t imagine throwing successfully on a baitcaster. Does the caffeine shad weigh enough that you don’t have casting issues?

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks Luke! It definitely has enough weight to throw on a baitcaster, especially with a 6/0 hook.

[@jeremiahgiles3593]

Luke Spivey throw the Yamamoto D-SHAD!! It's like a senko/fluke hybrid. Twitches like a fluke and wiggles like a senko on the drop

[@lukespivey9932]

Jeremiah Giles - I will try both. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@robertwarden7641]

Great videos keep em coming

[@goodymo1]

like your videos keep up the good work

[@jswartz1999]

How about 1 hour live stream challenge. Any lake if one you fish a lot or one you have. It fished this year or has something unique about how it sets up

[@nickcavazos5718]

Had a 13lb 11oz giant caught down in south central OK a few weeks back. If u ever make it down this way let me know and I'll give you a few options to go and try to catch a double digit.

[@ouncesthebasssnatcher5255]

Congratulations on your achievement

[@LowellFrancisco]

Another helpful video. How did you know there's creek there? Thank you!

[@FishtheMoment]

Thanks! There isn't a topographic map for this lake, so I had to find it by graphing the area. Here's a video that explains what a creek channel is and how to find one on your 2D sonar: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIOvlKuPe5eIqdE This video also shows creek channels in Side Scan: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJWbc3ifqaahjs0

[@LowellFrancisco]

Fish the Moment Thank you! 😀👍

[@bentonjohnson7781]

What is your camera and mic setup? Thanks for the great content!

[@harahara10]

The hat says genius

[@FishtheMoment]

Haha cool. It could be worse!

[@bobprestera3482]

When using the caffeine shad, was your hook weighted in any way or did you fish the shad weightless?

[@mmancino1982]

Didn't see if anyone answered, but 天才 (pronounced tian tsai) means genius

[@nickcavazos5718]

I know is an older video, just curious if you have thrown the magnum caffeine shad, and do you throw the 4 or 5" in cold water, like right now.

[@kenzika2584]

Do you fish Greer Ferry lake

[@angleratlarge6787]

May I ask what editing software you use? Thank You!

[@jesswu0213]

The hat "天才” means "genius "..

[@devinlusk6699]

Will this technique work everywhere during the post spawn?

[@FishtheMoment]

Anywhere with clear water. This bite will also work around bushes or down rocky banks. If your lake has shallow grass and the water has less than 2ft of visibility, I would throw a swim jig or a frog instead.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Your hat I think means. (Crazy,insane).

[@6959-n6n]

Ur hat says “Genius” Trust me, I’m Japanese

[@rcrawford1030]

What lake are you fishing?

[@FishtheMoment]

rcrawford1030 beaverfork lake

[@waynewang8216]

It says genius

[@FishtheMoment]

Thank you! I'm glad it's not something offensive!

[@waynewang8216]

Fish the Moment no it’s not offensive and I love your videos! Thank you for making these wonderful videos

[@jrbz88]

Your hat means - he who sets hook too soon shall get hit in privates.

[@DPest11]

The 2nd fish you weighed at the end was totally dead 16.33 was the time. You let it go and acted like it was alive. Look at the yellow eyes. I’ve seen plenty of dead bass.

[@wendybrown2701]

Not so. There are bass with yellow eyes
