Ledge fishing for bass off shore

[dtrs5kprs]

Ledge fishing will always be best on River generation lakes where current is a lot more significant than beaver. Think pickwick and Kentucky lake. Bass will sit down current of these ledges because they create a current break and they wait for schools of shad to go over them and then they come up and ambush. Not saying ledges aren't good in lakes. But they can be amazing out on pickwick with big schools of bass.

Worth noting, for current ledge fishing, you want ledges that are perpendicular to the current direction.

Exactly. Not that bass don't use ledges in the White River lakes, but think they are a lot more likely to suspend over them due to depth. A lot of the classic ledge fishing stuff is based on those river run lakes, and lakes like Eufala in AL.

Truman in Missouri often has some decent ledge fishing in the summer months because of strong current.
