How to Catch Bass Suspending off the Channel Edge

FLW Tour pros Jason Lambert and Randy Haynes share their insights on catching suspending bass off of channel or other structure breaks in the summer.

Aside from the ones in another angler’s livewell, most agree that some of the toughest bass to catch are suspenders. This time of year, anglers fishing offshore occasionally face the frustration of bass floating off the structure and often sliding out to adjacent deeper water and holding in general lethargy.

Suffice it to say that catching your fish in that perplexing suspension mode, requires a shift in strategies. Indeed, you’ll do well to replace those traditional ledge tactics with a few apropos targeting moves designed to tempt a few more bites from a scattered school.
