Bassmaster Elite Series Pro and Texas native Keith Combs shares his expertise on effective seasonal power fishing strategies in this informative seminar available only at Bass University.
Known for his prowess in power fishing, Keith has consistently earned big payouts using crankbaits and jerkbaits. In this seminar, he discusses his seasonal power fishing strategies to help you catch larger bass more effectively. He provides a comprehensive breakdown of his power fishing approach throughout the year, covering springtime (pre-spawn, spawn, post-spawn), summer, fall, and winter fishing scenarios. You'll learn about his favorite baits for different seasons and the gear he relies on throughout his Bassmaster Elite Series tournament season. Discover how he focuses on moving fast and targeting high percentage spots like drains, patchy grass, offshore cover, and isolated structure to find and catch aggressive bass. Gain practical insights into adapting your techniques and bait selection to seasonal changes, including transitioning from pre-spawn strategies to targeting post-spawn activity like fry guarders, shad spawn, and bluegill spawn. Learn his preferred baits for summer (including deep offshore presentations and shallow bluegill patterns), the tough-to-crack fall period, and effective winter approaches in creek channels and around isolated rock. This seminar focuses on using power fishing to develop a pattern and find active bass that are willing to bite moving baits across the seasons and diverse fishery types.
