Another Nice Smallie on the Yak.Small Mouth Bass on the Yakima River

 Bass fishing is always slower during the winter month.  With the latest cold snap the bass fishing has slowed and will stay that way for the next several months.  If you are a die hard bass fisherman or woman, don’t dispair.  Fish slowly, as in drink a cup coffee between twitches and slides of your lure along the bottom.  Doing this can bring you the biggest bass of the year and possibly your life.  Hit Silver lake and look for the warmest part of the lake.  Plan to fish 6 to 9 feet deep ( deepest parts of the lake).  Cast a 6 inch worm or balck and blue bass jig out.  Make sure to put a pork rind on the jig.  Let the jig sit on the bottom for a couple of minutes and watch your line very closely.  I like to use fluorescent yellow braided line that floats.  This allows me to watch the line for slight twitches and movement.  Let the fish suck the jig in, they tend to hold on longer in cold water. A good day is three or four fish.  The great part is most of them are 4 to 6 lbs this time of year.
