Recognized as one of the premier deep cranking fishermen on the professional circuit, Keith Combs offers his expert insights on locating and catching bass offshore. He explains his detailed seasonal approaches, teaching viewers how fish behave and where they hold during pre-spawn, spawn, post-spawn, fall, and winter, including specific structures like creek channels, shallow flats, and hard bottom ridges. The seminar also emphasizes the importance of researching forage (such as shad, tilapia, crawfish, and bluegill) and utilizing fishing maps for strategic pre-trip planning to identify key areas like flats, humps, or subtle drops in diverse lake types. Combs shares how bait selection changes with the seasons, discussing retrieve speed, bait action (erratic vs. subtle), and the critical role of bait noise (silent vs. loud) based on water temperature and depth. He delves into his go-to baits like the 6XD crankbait and other effective options such as jigs and big worms, along with preferred line and reel setups. In addition, Combs reveals valuable tips on boat positioning—an often overlooked yet crucial aspect of offshore fishing stealth. He teaches how to effectively use advanced sonar electronics, including sonar, range rings, and proximity flags, to locate fish and structure, and even interpret baitfish behavior to find bass.
