Old School "JUICE" for Bass Fishing (Giving you the most unique breakdown of Lakes)

- This video shows you that you can catch fish and do good in a tournament without all that fancy electronics, mapping cards, side imaging, live scope, and info. Sometimes you can just go out there and put your head down and fish what's in front of you and find everything you need to find the "OLD SCHOOL" way. This was the last tournament of the year fishing the Bassmaster Opens. Lay Lake proved to be the best and here is what I learned, over a 5 day period I try and give you guys the most unique breakdown of a lake that will hopefully teach you a better way to catch fish. These are my favorite and most requested videos so I hope you enjoy.
This style summary and breakdown is legit! U should do each tourney recap like this. Tons of great info right here
I've done quite a bit like this, check some of them out on my channel
I thoroughly enjoy the information and vids you are producing and you seem to be getting very comfortable in front of the camera! I came to the same conclusion that you mentioned about avoiding the obvious and fishing the secondary spots where the fish have not been pressured. I like that and the C rig was terrific for finding and catching them. I never realized how many more fish can be caught and water covered fan casting a c rig. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, best of fortune to you in 2021. Best of health to you and your family!
You as well
To have information like this on late fall bass fishing is pure gold. Rough season for sure but the knowledge that all of us are getting form you is awesome. Would have never ever had this in a normal year. It’s great man.
No doubt!
As a high school angler going to college these videos truly help me break down lakes
@Matt Otis I will be going to college next year this is my last year of highschool fishing luckily I qualified for flw national championship at hartwell.
Good luck buddy
Once again great video Todd!!! Keep up the great work.
Thanks! Will do!
Awesome breakdown, you made it feel like I was right there with you thanks to your 3-part series. I've learned a ton watching these and will apply it to my BFL events. Thanks, and good luck in 2021!
Awesome, thank you!
Best fishing TH-cam channel out there, bar none! Hope you continue keep putting out these types of videos!
I appreciate that!
I seldom fish above the Narrows. Check out all the sloughs from the Narrows, all the way down to Paint Creek, on the Coosa side. They lie in an EAST-WEST manner. The thicker mats of grass grow on the NORTH BANKS of these sloughs. It's DEEPER grass, too. Some is as much as 8' deep!This allows largemouths to kick their tail ONCE and shoot out of the grass and instantly be in 15' of water. THIS is where you'll find those late fall kicker largemouths. Start at the Narrows, dragging your C-rig on the points, and come 15lbs of spots or 9am, whichever comes 1st, go to those thicker North Bank mats for a coupla kicker heads. Also, ALL the island grass mats around the Flatlands (Lower State Ramp) and the mouth of Paint Creek hold good heads (4-7lbs) year 'round.
You were on the right trail! On the Coosa in the late fall/early winter, you GOTTA have a coupla magnum spots; especially if there's frost or a freeze. We always drag a Carolina rig 1st thing in the morning; GloStik or baby brush hog. The bigger spots usually bite early. You MUST know WHEN Lay Dam is running HOW MANY turbines! Once the sun gets up (9-ish), you BETTER have 13-15lbs of spots. You're right on the smaller swimbait; a pearl 3" Sassy Shad is best. I even use a Lake Fork Tackle Baby Boot Tail Shad and Bobby Garland's Slab Hunt'R Finesse Baitfish. (Hit me up for the right, CUSTOM made, weedless, ³/¹⁶oz heads!) Then, you hit those EAST-WEST situated sloughs off the main lake, concentrating on the thicker NORTH BANK grass mats, ONLY. Swimjigs are good while you're moving, but I flip a Hematoma Beaver on 1oz Tungsten in the thick winter mats, for a kicker head or two. You MUST have that MIXED BAG in winter. THAT is how we win on Lay in December.
What about Lay right now? I'm coming up there for the first time this week!
Your the first guy I ever heard call a prime fishing spot [the juice] I think it's cool cause it immediately gets the message across...
Thanks
Well spoken, Tod.
Thank you
Being from Birmingham I fish Lay pretty often, it is a day by day lake, like most, this time of the year. In the grass you have to look at it 2 ways, 1 where would be the best spot to ambush with current. 2 where is the best place without. That grass can hero you or zero you.
The hero or zero I can see
Todd, Looks like a New Skeeter and Yamaha, Good job of covering it up. Welcome you and SM to the Skeeter family.
Thanks 👍
Keep these going please !!!
Will do
Love these in depth breakdown and the decision making hope you keep them up this year!
That's the plan!
Todd let's do a vid on the carolina rig from rig, cast, and hook set. I love the ball and chain would love to see your presentation and retrieve. God bless and happy new years
Cool idea
Todd come to Florida and fish John's Lake with me so we can try to catch that pink-tagged Bass!!!! Think we have till September. There's several Florida lakes that still have them that still haven't been caught!
I feel I learn so much from these videos. I really enjoy watching them. Good luck next season. Extra bonus watching your videos is you don’t hit the camera with your palm all the time. Hahaha.
Thanks for the videos and introducing me to new lures and techniques. Very informative and your attitude keeps my interest. You and Hallman are always my first clicks.
Can't wait to see what you have going for next year.
Good luck and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Awesome, thank you!
Can't wait for some 2021 juice!! Very cool and informative break down Todd. Most times when you just go fishing and put your head down and fish how you want to fish, good things happen. This event was proof of that. Happy New Year and enjoy your time off!!
Happy new year!
Great watch. Looking forward to more videos. 👍
Much appreciated!

Thank you that was always the plan
Man, love the videos! Awesome stuff!
Much appreciated!
Great video to end the year on, love seeing your process. Happy New Year.
Same to you!
Bozo's has quite a few tournaments out of it. I'm sure there was quite a few retreads around to help the situation. Good job! I fish Lay a lot, I'll have to check out some of your juice holes next time...
Love the channel Todd Thanks !!!
Thanks for watching!
You've made great changes from when you started your channel. And the Juice is the pinnacle for me. Do you feel like you can use any of what you learned from these next year?
Absolutely!!
Love the juice you share about breaking down/figuring it out. Hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy New Year. Good luck in 2021. Are you doing the opens again in 2021?
not sure yet
Good information, it really helps:
Glad to hear that!
What was the water temp? What do you use on your c-rig
Strike King Game Hawg
Todd, I need you to get on strike king about getting these dang hybrid hunters shipped! Lol. Its perfect time for them and they are on back order
I heard it was a shipping problem but they got it figured out
Thanks for sharing why you did what you did. Do you have your tourney trail planned out for next year yet? I know, kinda nosey... lol! Take care, really enjoyed watching all your vids this past year!
Not yet!
I Love dragging a rig,try dragging a zoom speed worm with the paddle tail,if u haven't already,lol
I have there are just certain baits I stick with for certain reasons
Did you put in a map card after the tournament just to see what the contours looked like on the spots you caught em? It would be interesting if those little places that aren't obvious looked more obvious with the contours, like a short ledge or a small flatter spot.
No but I'm going to.
What is the lowest water temp that you throw a swim jig in . I have always stopped using it around 50 deg .
It never gets colder than that where I live but I would think that would be the coldest for me as well
Have you had much success c-rigging in the pre-spawn when everyone else is throwing chatterbaits, cranks and spinnerbaits?
Might be the best time to actually throw it
New Skeeter/Yamaha
You got it
How do you like the skeeter....what about that sho
I like it
Fishing B.A.S.S. now, should I try bass champs or the BFLs next?
