Shoreline Fishing for Ice Out Bass

Here in northern New England, “Old Man Winter” finally starts to lose his grip as longer days and warmer temperatures sometime in March mean receding ice on our local bass haunts!

Though it seemed like may never get here, the first open water bass fishing opportunity of the new season is always welcome when it starts to present itself 🙂


Once the ice withers back from the shoreline and yields more than a cast length’s distance to it’s edge, it’s time to head out and take full advantage of this late winter bass angling bonanza …

Take a few minutes and watch as Kim Stricker of the Hook n' Look YouTube channel identifies some of the shallow water features that ice out Bass gravitate to...


Being a good scout, I’ve already renewed the license, prepped  some rod and reel combos and assembled a small tackle pack with lipless crankbaits, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, some stick baits and jigs.

That’s right, I’m all set to hit the water’s edge on a moment’s notice!

How about you?

I look forward to seeing you out on the water's edge soon…
